"A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all." -- Washington Irving (b. 1783-04-03, d. 1859-11-28)

"Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart." -- Washington Irving (b. 1783-04-03, d. 1859-11-28)

Leaving the screen or the windowpane in the way (depending on how high I was shooting) cost me some sharpness. I'm not going to apologize for that.
