Sharon and Jazz waiting to roll.
December 2004, Kristen's pet, a Maltese, " Jasmine ", retired to Florida, to live with her grand parents.
" Jazz ", loved to ride, with us on our motorcycle.
Sadly, Jasmine passed away, Saturday 28th April 2007 aged 12 years.
Our hearts are broken, but the wonderful memories of Jasmine, will live with us forever.

Photography
I have several Canon cameras, mostly FD.
We were traversing a Virginia section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, when we came across the Mabry Mill.
I took the opportunity to trigger off a roll of Black & White Agfa with my Canon T90 35-105 lens, all 36 are very satisfying.
A group of old car enthusiasts rolled in to the car park, this is two samples, I had to shoot from the rear, as too many modern cars, would have been in the frame from the front. If your car was there and you would like a copy email me.
An interesting fact about the Mabry Mill, is that, several States, claim it as being in their State, a very popular Postcard.
