YL, yes, it is in Whiting Ranch about 10 miles from my home in Irvine. A place within Whiting called Red Rock Canyon. Nicole, yes, taken with my old camera which is working now that I've ordered my new Canon 60D. :-) I think it was so bitterly cold (~40 degrees LOL ... yes, we are all wimps out here, even our cameras) last Monday that my old camera just couldn't handle it. If that truly is the case, it won't do me a lot of good to go to parts of Southeast Asia next month where temps are going to be about the same. Jodi-

Those are very cool, Susan!! Digital, huh? I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

My dog has a nice soft mat in my bedroom where he sleeps. It is next to an old chair. Often when he first lays down he will rest his head on the chair's stretcher, which is about one inch wide and a couple inches off the floor. I'd think it would be very a very uncomfortable position to sleep in, but apparently not.

I took several photos with my camera, then took a photo of a gold picture frame off the internet and merged them all together. It's called layer masking, done in Photoshop. I have a friend who does AMAZING photo blends, take a look: SigiK Birds merged with a person photo Sigi models for most & the little girl is her daughter. It's an art form when Sigi does it. :0)
