Yes SIR! I think your math is quite correct, Joggie.
Someone once asked me if I wanted to go out shooting that day (as it was a beautiful day), and I replied "I don't want to shoot...I MUST shoot."

Ok, Joggie, I don't know how you're gonna categorize this one, since Usefilm doesn't have microscopy on the list. ;)

WOW! What incredible details, and what beautiful eyelashes. LOL

You certainly DO merit attention as Photographer of the Day, Joggie. You've a versatile and perceptive artist.

Looking at the size of this Joggie, one would be forgiven by thinking that this robber fly could prey on anything he liked ~~GRIN~~...

This is Brilliant with a capital B... :))))

Huge congratulations on your award for it is most deserved Sir...:) 7 doesn't come any where near the value...:)

and Joggie, I would kill for eye lashes like those above...;)
