Ya got this one framed too????? ;)
Great job putting up these awesome pics!
Oh WOW! You are right, I like this one! Cons is looking just amazing. You have done a fabulous job with her.
Very nice photo! Who do you get to take pics of you? That is the hardest thing for me, as I'm the photographer...
Thanks, all. I particularly love Consolation's expression in this shot.
Mrs. Mom, I *wish* I had it framed! Alas, it only looks good on the web -- it started out quite underexposed and muddy, and I'm only so good with Photoshop.
Hmmmm -- My husband Travis takes most of the photos that have me in them, and I take most of the others. The photos in my Old Selam ride story (August 2008) were taken by my skilled photographer friend, Jennifer.
