Perhaps you could post a larger picture, too?

Beautiful pics of the sunset. I love snapping photos of them too. Sometimes you have to be quick though because they can change by the minute.

Simply put, my EDC. (Although, with the LC9's loaded chamber indicator, mine usually has a little red bump sticking up!)

Mine is the logo from Iron Maiden's 2006 album "A Matter of Life and Death". Sure, the guns are all wrong, yet I must proclaim my adoration for classic heavy metal somehow. :rock"

BTW, the "Somewhere Back in Time" show (which was in SA on my birthday back in '08) was outstanding.

My avatar is my heifer Annie at the Houston Livestock Show - Dexter Cattle Show 2010. Annie was my 21st wedding anniversary present. I got to go to a live auction and bid on my very own cow! She was 4 mos old when I got her and 6 mos old when I brought her home. She is now 3, and the queen of the pastures at The Middle Age Spread!

Yes, I am familiar with "Ed Force One", and it is a crying shame that I have yet to see "Flight 666", their last concert movie release.

I've seen bits and pieces of the movie....had to squeeze some of it in when the wife would leave the room...I enjoyed the movie/show, the wife, well, not so much. Alright, gotta put on "Fear of the Dark" now!

Mine is because it jibes with my user name.

Mine is somewhat self-explanatory, but essentially...
