3. Welcome back and congrats.

Nice image, love the colors.

[Adsos Letter]

6. Thanks, alfredo! Represents the lock on my camera exile; however...

it's actually the lock on the door to the powder bunker at Ft. Moultrie, S.C. :D

:toast:

[alfredo]

9. I"m glad you are back, and glad you can come out and play.

[Adsos Letter]

:D

11. You are free to feast and party now. Take in a movie, get

drunk, read a book with a plot, get drunk.

Sleep late.

7. Congrats!

Looks like you're off to a terrific start! Terrific shot!

[Adsos Letter]

8. Thanks, Mz Pip! I'm sooooo happy to be reading works of my own choosing again....

rather than the development of class structure in antebellum America...good for me though it was... :D

It's the door to the powder room at Ft. Moultrie, S.C. I actually took it in April of this year; just haven't gotten out to do much of any photography yet.

So...we went from 80+* in November to Winter weather, and practically overnight. Come to think of it, I think it WAS overnight. Hope you're enjoying the rain.

I need to go find some inspiration.

[Callalily]

17. Sending BIG congrats

on your MA - that's quite an accomplishment.

Looking forward to seeing your work again.

And . . . your "lock/door" photo is fantastic. I like the color of the lock itself, such a nice patina, which contrasts well against the wood of the door.

[Adsos Letter]

20. Thanks, Callalily! That patina reminds me of a wall glaze I used to do when I was painting.

It is the door to the powder bunker at Ft. Moultrie, S.C. :toast:

[MissHoneychurch]

18. That is good news

on both accounts :D

From 80+* in November to this...almost overnight. Are you enjoying our weather?
:toast:

[NV Whino]

28. Uh, no

I hate it when I have to turn on the heat.

[HarveyDarkey]

23. Welcome back,

your contributions have been missed. Congrats on the degree. What's the field, if I may ask?

[Adsos Letter]

25. Thanks, Harvey Darkey! The field is History.

Emphasis on Atlantic World, 1500-1800; and U.S., from 1789-1877.

:toast:
