Awesome as always, your pics rock
We had a similar chair incident at Cinnamon. We took a long walk and on our return there was only one chair as we approached. I was like you gotta be kiddin me someone stole our chair. I look up at a group of people that set up behind us and one of them felt free to take it. Walk up to her and say mind if I could have my chair back? She just looks at me and gets up not saying a word. What the hell is the matter with some people

All I can say is WOW.
I have certainly enjoyed my time reading your report and looking at your photos. You have a real eye for interesting pictures that is indeed inspiring and your ability to tell a story and paint pictures with words is excellent. I noticed that you even have some underwater pictures mixed in. Do you mind if I ask what camera you use? Thanks for showing me how it is truely done ... my only concern is that you have set the bar beyond my reach.

I laughed, I cried, it was better than...well, ANYTHING!
You have set the bar so high, that I may not even bother to write a TR! I could never compete!
I can't believe that you drank ground up lawn from the Rasta Man. I passed. Guess I had not had enough to drink yet!
Love the 151, glad you discovered it!
Your summary is the reason that I participate in this Forum. Beautiful.

Thanks, all!
To answer for those who asked - Underwater pics were taken with a Casio Exilim with an underwater housing and the others were taken with a Canon Rebel using a 17-40mm L series lens (more often than not with a B+W circular polorizing filter) and slightly adjusted with Photoshop CS3 and the Velvia Vision plug-in (most of that is thanks to forum member Ken!). Whew. That was a mouthful.
Jo Ann - I can see where the title might be confusing. Let me clarify...I might do short.....just depends on what he looks like.
JMQ - If an ass says "oink, oink" would a half ass just say "oink?"
Gibber161 - The Caneel Buffet is $55 per person. A lobster dinner at Morgan's Mango will cost more.
I am not freakishly short. I do not have an eating disorder. I do not have a tapeworm.
ClevelandDave - Thanks, but I think I would like to keep it for now. I'm not sure how I'd look without it. But as soon as I get tired of it, you'll be the first to know.
And my mother interjected that my See-n-Say did not say, "The chicken goes MOO." It showed the chicken and then said, "The cow goes MOO." I can see how that makes a huge difference and would certainly be less confusing to a child. Thanks for that clarification.

I have a canon but.

I had a canon 300D (Rebel) and upgraded to the 20D with upgraded lens but my pictures never came out like yours. I guess it is true...it is the person behind the camera and lens. You have a talent. I have the Photoshop CS3 and i will start using that to see if my pictures can come close to yours. Thanks for sharing.
