"Those boots were made for walking" but I don't like to think of the copperheads. Congratulations on the win. I remember when you did those shots.
Guest 24-Mar-2006 14:05
Congrats on the winning photo and the new boots, nothing like good hiking boots, especially waterproof...and you got copperhead guards, excellent, you will have a blast toting the camera around the woods in spring with those :)
Jvan Photography24-Mar-2006 14:03

Al Chesworth24-Mar-2006 14:00
Many congratulations on winning, and your selection with the prize money will give you many days of comfortable walking.

To Sheila:

Yep. The one in the middle. Love that poem. Thanks for contributing it. It's hard to find the whole version since all that lawsuit stuff that went down.
Sheila24-Mar-2006 13:31
Congratulations on your deserved win Karen.
I think the prize you chose is great too.
Is one of your ladies in the Red Hat Society, I wonder, the society inspired by this poem,

Warning
by Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats and
things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple

Congratulations on both the contest win and the selection of hiking boot.
If my feet weren't so big I would look for something similar when I move back ashore.
BTW, this could be an award winning shot if you find a contest with a shoe category.
Guest 24-Mar-2006 12:32
Congratulations. I checked your winning picture and left wondering about those hats! Does being a senior citizen free our reservations about what we wear? I like your choice of practical shoes more than the ladies' choice of flashy hats. But what do I know? Maybe I'm just jealous that they don't make fancy hats for us old male farts.
