Terry, I know and certainly my post wasn't meant to sound as if you were too lazy to do that.

Well Clarky, that shouldn't be news to you.

The first example, though, I do find a bit cheeky. Question is: Would we have noticed when seeing that final result on it's own? Once I realize that the flowers have been dyed I really don't like it anymore. Technically well done, though.

Second one is a great example. But it was a bit easier than Simon's trouble pic as it was easier to deal with the fur on the horse (or is that called coat on a horse?)
I don't doubt a second that Matt could deal with that brilliantly as well.

Terry has done a good job with the branch but left the fur untreated...

Well, on Google mail I get about 4 or so a day. At work it's more like 150 a day. But that really has nothing to do with PC or Mac. If I would use a Mac to connect to the servers it would be exactly the same.

Once or twice a day I go to the spam folder (where they are automatically put by the server) and delete the messages that Thunderbird identified as spam (as I quite frequently get e-mail newsletters and stuff that the server falsely identifies as spam).
So from the user side I'm also not really bothered by it.

Well, that means that Mac email clients are not different from any other clients.
My spam is filtered out by the company server or by Google mail. And Thunderbird does a good job as well when you train it for a few days.
I'm not even bothering using throwaway accounts...

The spammers, however, are your problem as well. They eat up bandwidth and by far outnumber ham these days. All that spam traffic bandwidth has to be paid for. By us, the users. So it is our problem...

Hello Happy!

How do you avoid spam mail with a Mac If that is really true you might just have won me over

That's a good start! Could be a bit bigger, though. I'm with womble on the graffiti.
Atmosphere is great and as Don mentioned the people add to the scene.

K20D, Sigma 105/2.8 EX DG Macro, 30 s, A13, ISO 200. Taken and processed today.

Me too! Sounds like words of wisdom Could be a quote by Master Yoda.

But it also tells me that the strange bokeh most likely comes from a wire mesh as the bird was in a cage.

I guess we should all try to express something in Spanish and then laughs would be on Miguel...

BTW: It's #3 for me as well (and not solely for the reason of opposing Spider ).

That's a great capture. Shame you had the camera in the 'Action program' mode. With a smaller aperture the cat would have been sharp as well.

But even so it's a nice moment captured in this shot as the two seem to connect quite well.

Thanks for the link, Gwyn.
I do like Escher (I'm a physicist after all ) and I'm pretty sure I've seen that image before. Maybe it was lurking deep in my subconcious...

Cheers,
