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.

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. :)

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