Great Bob :D. I remember the corral and the cow, and I know I spent some time photographing it but can't locate the slides. They aren't as good as yours anyway :biggrin:

Ken,
Looking forward to number 4---I really like that shadow in the cirio picture---- The curved cirio is like a mandatory picture in all Baja collections, but that shadow makes yours far more interesting.

Thanks again Diane. I actually thought about that shadow when I made the cirio photo. I know that the arched cirio is the obligatory "icon" Baja photo. I had taken several pictures of my son and daughter (Jesse and Coleen) standing in the curve of the arch, noticed the shadow, shooed the kids away, and made the image above. Nice that you noticed that.....great minds and all that :lol:
