gina, they gave her a precription for something for pain, when it runs out I'll tell her to take some naproxyn, thanks. Linda, the Sgt. from the Sheriff's Department who was on the scene told me the motorcycle rider was the luckiest SOB he'd ever seen. All he was worried about was his motorcycle, but I have a feeling he's gotten over that by today. Accident reconstruction is still ongoing but from the length of the skid mark and the damage to the two vehicles, they figure he was going at least 70 mph. He was riding with a friend who got ahead of him and he was trying to "catch up". On a two lane country road lined with hay fields, tractors, wagons full of baled hay and people. Sigh. I just hope that leg is "fixable" and that he doesn't have too many long term complications from it. Annie

Oh, how pretty.

Lori, I wish I knew...LOL! I'll post a link to a Web site that gave some good tips, but like I said in the Part 2 thread, I broke the tripod as soon as we got there and we were on very uneven ground, so I ended up just trying to balance the camera on the tripod. Also, that Web site says that some of the earliest pics in the evening are often the best because it isn't quite completely dark yet. So maybe that was it. ??

Happy 4th of July to all our American KTers! Just in case anyone thinks cherryfizz made a mistake in saying "to my neighbours to the North," Windsor Ontario is south of Detroit Michigan. That makes it the only city in Canada where one must face north to be looking at the United States. Hope you all had a great day celebrating your nation's independence!
