Mc Donalds changed there straws over here for wax paper ones then some one found out that they also could not be re cycled haha
We should all be required to carry around drinking gourds strapped to our belts which can be refilled as we wish. Medieval monks had pots attached to their waists but they weren't for drinking - that's an entirely different story!!
I was sitting here going through some of my files, just looking at what I have captured over the last 8 months and I came across this photo...it was taken on an outing with my good friends, we had been together all day and being a person who does most everything alone I was getting a little edgy and needed a break from being with people, so I used the line, "Hey you guys keep going I'll catch up!" and I found this little cluster of trees and I ventured in and just sat down on the ground leaned back, closed my eyes and breathed, emptied my mind and just plain relaxed. After a few moments I opened my eyes and saw this shot and took it. When I got home a few days later, going through the photos I had taken, I came across this one and said to self, "I really like this, let's see what you can do with it!" and I played a very little bit with the windows photo processing on my computer, got a little frustrated and just slid the color slider down to no color and saved it. I seen it tonight and thought, "WOW! There is a wonderful capture of a time of solitude!" I looked at the picture info....this was my 275 shot I had taken with my Canon just 9 months ago....I'm now well over 10k....but I looked at this and the calm feeling that I had when I took it just flowed back into me... and of course I needed to share....thanks for allowing me to...

Calmness, angle, perception.....glad that you took a break.
Which reminds me, many of you can remember these, ''Oops I'mm pulling over, won't be long'' my wife says, ''Oh NO, not again''

P 10 Thank you, Jim, for hosting this marvelous congregation of "loners!" Since I'm now mostly alone in my house, except for trips to various doctors (who apparently think I'll live forever), I look forward to the many photos posted by fellow Hoggers. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all!
So glad that you are sticking with us, Richard! You are a definite inspiration for us all!! Always fun to see
