Very nicely done!

The final sentence of this prayer, attributed to, but not known for sure, of St. Francis is: "and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life." This is the ultimate promise of our Faith.

(Thanks for sharing this. I say this prayer as part of my daily devotions and strive to live up to its dictums.)

Thanks...one of my favorites too.

We live near Wyoming coal country which provides a lot of opportunity for photos of trains and the railroad equipment.

I have an a57 also. It's a fine camera and does everything (and more) that I need or want. Good shots.

Thanks, it seemed a rare opportunity

The setting was soft focus and I didn't have time to change

Amen!

It was almost as if he was saying "hurry up, click that shutter – I have things to do."

How stupid of me not to be aware of the difference between a CD and a DVD! My only excuse is that I have had very little to do with either. I bought some DVDs and voila! I'm in business. Thank you very much for your help.

I must be missing something, but for the life of me, I don't know what. I have some video clips put together In Premier that I uploaded from my Sony a57, added some transitions and music. Then I hit "Share" and selected "DVD, etc.", but then there appears the little yellow shield and "Disk incompatible".. I have tried CD – RW and regular CD discs to no avail. When I choose "4 GB Folder", then I get a burn message and it goes through the burn process Ok but then I can't find the folder and I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did.

I would surely appreciate any help I can get – – – online instructions or tutorial etc., etc. I have used other video programs with no problems, but Elements has me stumped. (I haven't been able to find any instructions for burning discs.)

Photoshop Elements will not accept Raw files from my Sony a57. They have an "ARW" extension which Elements says is unrecognizable or incompatible. Does anyone have an idea around this?

This was a Quaker chapel near where I grew up in northern Pennsylvania. It was built in the late 1600s (some of the gravestones are dated late 1600s) and the nearby village of Friendsville originated around this time. The Quakers are all gone now and the area is predominantly Irish-Catholic.The chapel is preserved by a family which operated a local youth summer camp.I shot this while touring a couple of years ago.

Thanks, DennisM, for the nice sentiment. If this is true and all of my former dogs (and cats and horses) rush to meet me when I die, the scene will look like a stampede in a windstorm!
