Sanity,
It will be mounted for sure. I have been fortunate to harvest quite a few over the years from Alaska to washington and they are still one of my favorites.

I don't know what's going on with losing photos, but you guys are welcome to re-post your photos that are not showing. Hopefully we can get this figured out so photos quit disappearing.

This contest is closed now.

We finally got the last page to show, it appears the last 3 photos posted are all too large. This may have something to do with what caused this topic to lock up. Please remember to resize your photos to 800 x 600 before posting in the future.

Thanks ti!

I use a Canon 7D camera.

This was taken with a 400 mm. L series f/5.6 lens.

Dick

The reason it wouldn't show up before is I exceeded the band width on Photobucket.com again!

Gringo31 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 20, 2012, 01:12:58 PM »

WOW! That is fantastic! One of the best I've seen

Thank you Gringo!

The planets and the stars aligned just right for me!
