2Aug11f.jpg

Here's an old soldier that's seen plenty of action. It was lying on the desk just begging to
have its picture taken. I was far too lazy to get a tripod and so I rested the lens on the pad,
opened the aperture and went click. When these things sort of work out I get kinda cocky. Sorry.

That is how I take most of my pictures David and yours come out was better.
I'm afraid my tripod is a tad dusty.
