Good point sin05. Those green palys are growing out of control and I've been trying to clean and trim them back. I might move the yellow/green echinata if things get dicey.

Thanks for all the nice words.

I took these pics with a little canon elph digital camera (SD450 I think?) and darkened the background in photoshop. Don't have the resources to pony up for an SLR.
