    Really? I would have thought it was much smaller from the photo. The detail is great. You take very nice photos, Ron.

    I would love to get a digital SLR. Then all my pics would be nicer quality. I was happy with this pic though. I can't take the really small ones with my camera. There are many that I am unable to share due to that. I have some that I can't see any detail without my glasses on and a few that I need a magnifying glass for
