Photo honored at web site Renderosity

A PHOTO OF A JUVENILE HARRIS'S HAWK I SNAPPED less than a mile from the front door was chosen one of the Best of Last Week at an art and photography site of which I am a member.

Renderosity selects 30 photos from among the hundreds uploaded each week for what it terms "a second look." Here is the link to Last Week in the Gallery.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION !!!
We're drowning in it. So why make it even worse by creating another blog?

Well, we don't have an answer for that. But if a net surfer who stumbles upon this site finds a nugget in all this gravel, perhaps Leave Only Footprints has some value after all.

So if you've got a second, grab a gold pan, wade in and start swirling.

BTW, if anything in here touches a nerve, you're welcome to vent. It takes but a second, and here's how. Select a blog segment which fires your passion. Click on Comment. Click Anonymous. Have your say. Sign it. Type in the correct box the kinky code word supplied (it's to deter web bots!) and send it. Your comment will appear in due course.

Two final notes: This web page was designed, written, edited and produced to suit a screen resolution of 1440x900 pixels. We're not saying that those whose monitors only go to a wimpy 800x600 can't enjoy Leave Only Footprints, but it's like watching high definition TV on an old black and white set. Position yourself on the cutting edge and give the wide-screen version a try. If your monitor won't support 1440x900, don't you think it's about time to upgrade?

Also, Leave Only Footprints is VERY graphic intensive. Your page will load slowly if you're a little light on RAM. You might want to top it up while you're at it.

--Winston Churchill

"Football is a mistake. It combines two of the worst things about American life. It is violence punctuated by committee meetings."

"I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok."

"Sometimes you're the pigeon, and sometimes you're the statue."

Classic Hunter Thompson Quotes

"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold."

---------------------------------------

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine and a whole multicolored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers . . . Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon . . ."

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
