All this within a 5 min walk from my front door, I hope I held your interest-I know this is a very long post-but I have been very busy with little time to post(blame Pathfinder since he rarely is at work any more)-I have had trouble finding time just to process shots. I appreciate your indulgence and hope to have a few posts for other threads coming up=Thanks-all comments and critiques are welcome////Mereimage
