 A Christmas themed title, I always loved Burl Ives singing that song, of an image of a repair clamp. Lots of crops to try to mask it but I'm sure it will be found out. Thanks to the 10th St Hardware store for being patient with me yet again.

Post: A multitude of crops...and the regular stuff. Nothing exoctic.

And as sooon as I can afford one, I am getting a new close up macro lense....prolly the Nikon 60MM...the sigma has never ribboned and is just going soft, for the most part, after f/ 8.
