Thankx Ray.....that's the whole idea.........Vicki.....i started it round noon yesterday.....and finished it "round midnight." Half day fly with interuptions.....i'm very pleased you like it. i almost wish i didn't have so many obilgations to get flies finished for shows, etc., etc.....cause i just wanna tye the artistics.......but, when we get back from Idaho.....i'll be able to bear down more. i still have scads of flies here to be photographed, that i've tyed over the last 2/3/4/5 years.........and just never took pics of.......how the hell do people ever find the time.....................

That is simply awesome!
