A small post for today. I was in Vegas yesterday, I'm off to Sacramento today, and my 3 favorite kids are coming for a visit this weekend! Woo! I hope to catch up on your blogs when I can!

Oh, I used a back light (the early morning sun) for this one. :) Stats - D200 w/ 70-180 macro lens 1/30 second at F22.

Thanks for all your comments yesterday!
