Thanks for the compliment and for wishing me well, John.
Thanks for the good words, Jack.

I hope those ducks on the "pavement pond" don't try feeding like the "tails-up" ducks in this photo of our vacation location!

Quality quartet, Rachel!


Harvey, we all have our biases, and I can certainly understand how yours regarding stag senators arose!



Because of (or despite??) all that, I still appreciate your assessment of Man Jack.


Wonderful "late light" photo of your damascus stag senator. I don't think very intentionally about quality of light when taking pics, but now that you mention it, I do rather favor some of my pics near sunset. Here's one of my Black Jack from last fall, I think:

Looking forward to more Yosemite settings in your lambsfoot pics, OG!



Thanks for your comments on Man Jack and slip.
OG, I've never been further west in the US than South Dakota, so the video of Yosemite waterfalls was breathtaking to me!



And your photo of the damascus stag senator is majestic!


Thanks for the info, Taylor.



Some folks can sub pretty much full-time in my area of the country (although supply and demand for subs seems kind of cyclical, which affects the pay). If you can get benefits like health care through your wife's job, that certainly gives you more options!

Very cool "nature shot" of your ironwood, Preston!



(Don't some knife makers have "Indian Paintbrush" as a handle color?)
El capital El Capitan pic, OG!!


Baa, Baa, Black Lamb, have you any flowers??

Splendid pic, Dave!


Superb holiday sentiment!

I don't remember if Will Clark used a black bat, but I sure remember how he "lit up" the Cubs, and broke my heart, in the 1989 NLCS!

My recollection was that he did it singlehandedly, but I looked it up this morning, and Matt Williams and Kevin Mitchell also were quite hot that series. (Mark Grace was a "giant"

for the Cubs, so that's some small consolation.)
Summertime and the livin' is easy with a South African custom lambsfoot!!


Lovely shot of your stag damascus lambsfoot, Dwight!



What is the little flowering daisy-like plant?
Union Jack for me all week:
