I'm half way through my photo grant job with the state. I thought that I would be able to keep my "X Marks the Shot" blog going but I'm way to tied up. I will continue to post "Weekend Flash Back" and in October, my blog will go back to normal. Please take some time and go back to over five years of posts. I have noticed my monthly hits drop some, but I have to pay the bills and take work when I get it.

When I saw this situation, I loved the roll reversal. Both parents fished so they took turns taking care of their young son.  Fortunately for me it was her turn to have the poll.

"A paraglider takes off from a mountain peak, on a beautiful afternoon, high above Telluride Colorado, May 30, 2001. It was a perfect day to fly, with some pilots staying up for hours at a time."
