His work is so recognizable, with his critters and great use of light. Have always loved his style. Bigack, when we want to save a puzzle we put a piece of MacTac on the front so we can flip it, then MacTac the back, then remove the piece from the front. You have to do it quickly (well, don't leave it on the front for days on end...) but it is a great way to preserve the puzzle without the mess of glue or puzzle saver. I have found over the years that these products sometimes make the corners of the puzzle curl up. Once you've got the MacTac on the back, you can look for a suitable frame and pop it in. Suzan J

Richard, I love your pictures, too. I grew up with a photographer (my Dad) and he used to do the same thing as you. He had a "regular" job, and on his days off he and my Mom would take the dog and just wander and take pictures. He shot only B&W, in the style of Ansel Adams.

have a safe trip home...know everyone hates to take pills everyday, but with encouragement from loving parents maybe he'll get on track! hope the weather holds for your drive...

Bigack, we just got home from our trip yesterday. The only drawback I see to your trip is that it will be in October and possibly too cool for the beach. But while you're both in good health, please, please take a trip together. Harry is 80 and it was so very hard on him. He has P.A.D. which affects his walking ability and is very painful. We used to love getting in the car and just going. This was such a sad trip for both of us. So please take the time to enjoy each other's company away from home while you can. You just never know when it won't be possible any longer.
