You have a deal, Bob! Thank you for the offer.
Since you're obviously familiar with the place, about how much cash do
you think I'd need to have on hand to be able to enjoy the city?
Obviously, I'm not talking about fine dining and the theater. It'd only
be a day trip, but I'd like to get a small sense of the place; a taste
of the Chicago-style hot dogs, maybe a slice or two, a beer or three.
You know, something like a non-touristy, working class schmoe would do
for a relaxing, enjoyable day in the city.

Walt,
When you want to hop on the train for a visit, just drop me an email.
We enjoy Chicago tours and even know some pretty good spots.
We could even ask Christine A. along.
Regards, Bob S.

I've never been to either place (though, I have been near Chicago, in
Alsip), but I'd like to someday. I've thought about hopping the Amtrak at
Carbondale, IL and taking a day trip up to Chicago to take photos. But, not
having a clue about how to get around the place, I've never been able to
quite convince myself it's a good idea. Maybe someday.

I don't know from gladiolas. The girl who rented the place next door
planted them. I just look at them and say "lookit them yella flahrs". ;)

I agree with Ken - better
I tried to plant a new pun thread with "glad" (for gladiolas) but
guess we have to leave it alone.

Thanks, Kenneth!
Here's a whack at your crop suggestion. I didn't have a whole lot of
space to the left to work with:

I could go either way, but I see what you mean. I kind of liked having
the other flowers in the out-of-focus area, but I do like the balance a
little better in your crop.

Nice capture! I might have shifted the composition a bit to the right
to balance the edge treatments - ie cut off on the right and spaced to
the LH edge.

That's what they're called in western Kentucky parlance, anyway. I
figured I ought to get a few shots of them as I've been kind of
quiet on
the list of late -- at least in terms of sharing photos.
Yeah, it's just flowers. But, I felt like I ought to contribute
something more than questions. So, here's what I thought was the
best of
the few shots I took.

K-5, F501.7, ISO 80, f/8, 1/90 sec,
I used my Promaster 7500EDF flash(full manual) with the little
universal
softbox I picked up a few weeks ago.
Comments are, as always, eagerly solicited.
