They may not be a pair but at least they aren't lonely.


Good to see you back Motts, I have been following your work for over six years now and I really noticed your galleries missing from my life while you were gone.
Thank you for capturing all this beauty before it dissapears.

@ Mama - -thanks for the complement, I like to think I'm a good person, like you. As far as my AOL screen name, this will make you giggle. . .I have a fondness for big cars, cadillacs, buicks, Eldorados, etc. When I first went on-line back in the *koff* 1980's, file and screen names were still governed by the old DOS rule which limited them to eight characters. I originally wanted "EldoradoKid@..." because I was driving a 62 Eldorado convertible at the time, but that was too long so I had to shorten it. Then I think in the early 90's the long filename option came aboard (with Windows 95 maybe?) and that was no longer an issue. GAD, when I think back to those days logging on to the internet via a 300 baud modem, only to see mostly text-based web pages, hardly any graphics and of course the connection charges of ten cents a minute. BOY, am I old!!
