    I take a few of these when I see them but bin a lot - it depends on the light from time of day and location/angle whether I might keep them.

    CD mechanism - from an old CD player that wasn't working. Just horsing around! I can see that it is important to have the "planes" parallel. It is fun to turn the gears manually and watch things move. It's pretty tight and has a "heavy" feel to it. I should have moved the teapot on the counter! LOL. :-)

    No balls of fluff in sight, intriguing.
    Good subject for some weird lighting ?
    (Plenty of Chrissy lights floating around, I've noticed.)

    Nice set.
    Saw one in the yard yesterday, just waiting for me to rush in for a cam and break my neck.
    Might plan ahead seeing they're around.

    Think I prefer this one, definitely sharper.

    Totally off-topic, but technical question - do all users see Ron generated small images? Answer only when one does not see them :)
    If not, then I would suggest Ron not to delete attachments. There have been cases when some user has deleted the attachment, but not preview of it - and resulting image is not visible to some users.

    BTW, this makes interesting idea for forum development - display images in quotes at much smaller size.

    Ta Doc.

    As I mentioned above, it looks like Mobile is a problem.
    We may have to consider the right balance next week or ditch it completely.
    I'm sure the Forum software has more bells in it than we can see, but for the moment .....
    Not even sure I can include a direct link to the OP ?
