Zane, you asked about the size of the bark dust...I took this the other day but forgot

Thanks! That looks like great mulch I am jealous. Here everyone uses that dreaded shredded hardwood.

mmmm, bark dust...


... even the "no itch" bark dust itches

It itches? They can make it alegedly not itch?

It's funny, but I've been drawing these avatars for the cast of the TR's for the last month. I usually start with the characters that I use the most, TD, Chief, Wool, Permie, Wu, etc. Odd thing happened along the way.... I got the Wacom tablet, we got CS3, and I started to learn how to use both. Subsequently, the avi's I did at the end were better quality than the ones I did at the beginning.

For example, here's one that I did for Wool a few weeks ago:

Wow looks great. I love the progresion. Called Leyla over for that one.

I'm a day late with Chapter 05/01:

Nice Becky. You should print them and make a flip book. It would look really cool with the ferns.

You guy will not believe this:
I was on my way home (late but I won't rant) to change to go to GMA. When I got to the corner of the street before mine, there was the most gorgeous Red Headed Woodpecker, a BIG one, just about eye level on the power pole. It is a fairly new pole and the colors contrasted so well. A 40D with a 24-70 + 1.4X TC would have been the perfect combo to have shot it. (oh I have that don't I) (wait a minute.... it is at home in my backpack on my bed) Grumble Grumble Grumble.

I believe it, a few weeks ago I was on my way to the grocery and a hawk is on the guard rail post, hood level, I have my gear but no place to pull over and lots of traffic behind me.
