Thanks, Marnie. The photo was darker (duskier?) on my
screen than it appears on the PUG gallery. I posted
it using the Mac at home, and I dimly recall a

BTW, =everybody= has a lot more misses than keepers.
I've been shooting recreationally for 40 years, and I
figure than when I have fewer misses than keepers I'm
either not shooting enough or not being choosy enough!
