Nice idea for a pic.

It looks strange because I peeled off the seed shell remainder of that one a few hours before taking the picture (sometimes I can be a bit impatient...).

I will try to get a better one with the seed shell still on.

It is. I want to try to get some good shots in the mountains this summer, in places to which you can only get on foot.

that'd be great

You could open up a deviantart account and post some photos and have your own gallery.

If I'm happy enough with the quality of the pics, I may just do that.

You could also sell prints of your pictures, but you'd have to compete with professionals on deviantart. Then again, you do have an advantage in that, you have scenery that's unique and beautiful.

Yeah, and I'd be competing with a $200 digital camera. Still, it would be fun to try.

Very nice photo, maybe a little more focus next time. Getty Image Office Philippines

I had to go to the "sanitary landfill" today. It was a nice, sunny winter's day so I took my camera along, hoping to snap some photos of some eagles. Not bad, I'd say.

A shot I took this morning of the mountain that dominates the skyline here, reflected in the rising spring waters of the Bulkley River.
