Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for the kind thoughts and comments!
I apologize for staying gone -- i just had so much happen this month I just became a hermit and kind of needed time to "regenerate"
But I am back now in FULL FORCE lol
My birthday present to me was a new lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 an ebay purchase for $500. This was a range I really needed so I postponed my computer purchase until after Christmas. I had to move files again from both computers . . . have filed away 1 terrabyte external drive because it's full. This damn DAM always takes about 3 days to finish.
Once again, thank you for thinking of me
