Hee ^_^ Your cats are so adorable; they make me smile. I like how her eyes are reflected on the floor, and how her "ominous" eyes correspond with her pouncing position.

I was probably too close. If you look at the other shot of mine "Alone and wet" you'll see it's the same tree. It was only about a foot across. I already sharpened it as much as I dared in PS without causing it to go grainy. Thank you for your input, I appreciate it

and Laura... you make a lot of sense. Thank you for taking the time to dish out some nice advise and calming words. I have a person who comes in once a week to give him a bath (he had a hip replacement that has finished him physically) and even she is quitting on him. She gave her notice last week and said I have to find someone by the end of the month. He's always been like this, but I know for a fact that were I to put him in a home... he would be abused for sure. Noone else would put up with it. Thanks again... I'll keep on trucking

I'm sorry its been hard for you. Your story struck a chord with me. So similar, yet so distant. I took in my father almost three and a half years ago, at the age of 58. He was suffering from spinal problems from being hit by a drunk driver. The accident was long ago, but had become completely debilitating. July 13, 2001. I know the date well, because two days later he left and never came back. The following morning he committed suicide in his car in front of a hospital emergency room. He loved his independence and self sufficiency. It was more than he could bear to think of himself as a burden. My father dealt with it with dispair maybe your father deals with it in anger. I don't know how he was before. But no matter what, you are a good person with a good heart fighting the good fight. I also have an autistic son who can test my patience and frustration levels to unsemingly impossible limits. My way of dealing with that, is to just love him, focus on good and ignore the bad. He knows not what he does. I don't physically ignore it, I just emotionally ignore it. Please don't let it change you and the warmth and love you had to take him in. Its a wonderful thing you have done. You may not be able to do it forever, but you are doing it now and should be commended for it. Bless you.

The subject is really interesting, but I do think it might have been a bit better if the focus had been sharper on the area around the hole rather than at the edges of the trunk.
Did you use manual focussing - I'm just surprised that it didn't focus at the distance of the hole (or was it too close for it to focus a that point?

There are some limericks:
There was a Family Support Director on medicare
Who sold his soul to the feds
The dollars were rollin'
Lists were still swollen
Families are shaking their heads
Community is the place for us all
To live, work, play and stand tall
We need to reach out
With caring about
Each person a neighbor we call
Every family can run into trouble
But they never need live in a bubble
Just reach out your hand
To the folks in the land
Together, the efforts will double
Are there those who know better than me
What I need for my family?
With family and friends
Community begins
And decisions are the best they can be.
Continue to have the strength for at the end... one will be a better person!

Let me explain where this came from. I took my father in a year and a half ago. He's 82. He's my father and always will be, but he goes out of his way to make sure he's miserable. Of course if he is then everyone else has to be. It's been very hard taking care of him, yet I don't have the heart to put him in a home.

Excellent composition and colors. I love the weathered wood. It's hard to believe a place in a spot this lovely would close; photographers alone would keep it going.
