Jen, you've outdone yourself once again! This shot is spectacular. And congrats on your new job. I must have missed something -- thought you'd already started your new job. Unless this is a new, new one. Whatever, NOMB (none of my business)... I'm just glad for you, m'lady.

@Viewfinder: Thank you very much VF!
I did have another job, but I left, not good for me and the commute was horrid. I lucked out and found another right away that is much closer and more in tune with what I was doing before and what I prefer doing.
I hope all is well with you...sorry for the late posts, computer issues last night. Take care!!
