			Gorgeous light, and a wonderful scene. Somehow this tells me more about Texas than a grand scenic ever could.

			If you can't do anything about those power lines you might as well feature them. Terrific perspective and a wonderful sky.

			Amazing photo, strong and surreal. Is it coincidence that "Repo homes" is located next to a gas station? As for the security sign, between the cost of "security" and the cost of gas, I suspect a lot more homes will be repo'ed. Good eye!

			Hi, John! This is an outstanding image, and one I feel you'll treasure in years to come. The light and tones are wonderful, and it feels like you've captured his essence.  
  Thanks so much for your lovely note. I do drop by to see your work, and it's always a treat, believe me. While I love your landscapes and seeing the world through your eyes, I find the family portraits and your love for them the most moving. Well done!

			Hello, Margaret, and thanks so much for your comment. I don't think I've seen anything as sad as what is happening here, but I understand your feelings completely. How can something so good go so bad so quickly. 
  You were one of the folks I had in mind when I said thank you - I've admired your work for a very long time. Same for Neil and Den - please let them know. Merry Christmas, and when you find a new "home" I hope you'll let me know where you land.
  Deb

			Beautiful, Roger. Yes I'm the same Deb you knew.
  Oddly enough it shows only as 750 pixels for me. It's possible that's because I'm no longer a donor. No big deal for me, but it becomes important if you use Usefilm to show photos to prospective clients/customers or even family members. I doubt you can ask a client to "donate" just to see the full size.
  Best of luck, and Merry Christmas.

			Gorgeous colors and contrasts; like the off-center placement of the trunk. I thought you went off to play with MF, and here you're shooting digital.   Well done!
