Seriously, I feel your pain. I hate when the resolution is poor. Makes my eyes think they're even more near-sighted than they already are.

Problem with some of us is that we post as an attachment and we have to cut resolution to get it in.

I love the Point Reyes photo!

I always have something that is of a current ride. This is my riding buddy Richard. We are trying to find a new trail to ride since Limestone is closed. Taken two weeks ago:

I'm curious why the dogs wear muzzles. We run our Schipperkes through Agility courses, which I know are very different than what you run your terriers through. We don't muzzle our dogs.

Is it so nobody takes a quick nip of a competitor's ear? (ouch!)

They are chasing a lure through a barrier of what is normally hay bales with a hole in it big enough for one dog at a time to go through. People catch them in an enclosed pen at the end of the race. They are way geared up and trying to get to the lure, and in the excitement, sometimes each other. The muzzles are mostly to prevent fighting in the catch pen with a second purpose of preventing a catcher from being accidentally bitten in the confusion of the moment.

The Brits, being a hardier sort than we are, race their Russells without muzzles. You see more three fingered terriermen that way.

Our current computer pulls up random images from my photo files every 20 seconds.
I used to use this shot of my grand daughters for wallpaper on my work computer.

This is my new desktop for when I'm not working. He's a little short for the edges of my monitor, but I couldn't bear to let the program distort him:

As soon as I looked at your picture, I immediately thought, "That looks like my everyday trail ride." Then it turns out to be a ride in Wisconsin.

This is my latest (view at weekend place) but I use a screen saver that cycles through a bunch of recent photos:

I've changed mine three times since I first posted on this thread. Here's my new one, from today's 56 mile ride. As you can tell I ride with a bunch of 50+ guys, 60+ actually.

You guys are looking great. I wish I will look as good ten years from now.

That is an absolutely awesome picture! How about telling us how you got it. The Mountain Lion is such a stealthy animal. The lighting and intensity in this cat's eyes is beautiful. It isn't a small cat either.

If it was in S. California it might have been watching the mountain bikers go by!:eek:

My maternal clan (Chisholm) crest. The corresponding dress tartan is my avatar. Our motto, "feros ferio," translates roughly as, "I am fierce with the fierce."

Here's mine. It's a picture I took at the National Archieves during a vacation to Washington DC in 2006. I photoshoped it and made it into a background for my Mac 30" cinema display ... 2560 X 1600.
