    One factor I forgot to mention, is that the sun was directly behind me shining on the white church. Maybe to much light for the camera to register?? I did take other shots of the church with the sun behind me and they came out nice.

    Broken glass on graves

    Never heard of it German. Now my interest is piqued, I want to know more. I do know that there is a Jewish/Hebrew (I think) custom that when you visit a grave, you leave a small rock or stone on the headstone to let people know there was a visitor.

    Freerider, I'd definetly be interested in the lessons, even for an affordable fee. If you don't mind, I'd like to get your adivce on the pic below. I took it yesterday with the D90 on set on "Auto". I think it's a white balance issue. 2 came out like this, the rest were fine.

    Freerider, thats a great idea, and thanks for putting the offer out there. I'd be interested, for sure. Just purchased a Nikon D90 and would really like to learn to use it to it's full potential.

    High Plains Drifting

    Dragoncjo, If I hear of one of my cousins coming across one, You bet I'll let you know. To be honest, I used to have a horrible fear of snakes. And God forbid I ever came across a rattler (which I never did)!!!! But since joining this site and educating myself about the Pines and wildlife, my...

    High Plains Drifting

    Dragoncjo, my grandfather's parents had a farm in Millville on Buckshutem Rd. I remember him telling me when he was young (early teens of the 20th century!) and working in the fields, it was common to come across a few "rattler snakes", as he like to call them, when you where out there. I...
