Dude, do you ever take a bad shot? : ) It's really funny that the kid's not even looking at him.

You've settled the question I pondered throughout my youthful years in Catholic school: Yes, we do INDEED have our very own guardian angel watching over us — this photo proves it. Sister William Marie would have wanted a blowup. ;-)

Kidding aside, this is a remarkable capture, Mitch. Perfect timing!

This is unbelievable Mitch. What awesome timing! The herringbone brick patterns are cool and the colors just pop. I am visiting you from a library in a southern state....

@Terry Bain - Don't you think it's a little egotistical to be pimping your books in your comments? It looks pretty narcissistic to me.
