 By: blomman Mr Blue : February 3rd, 2015-12:45
What a wonderful display of the width and depth of this wonderful community! :) I also notice that this has been a great year for GP with at least 9 watches in the lineup! :) Again, thank you! Best Blomman

I noticed the same trend . . .

 
 By: Dr No : February 3rd, 2015-13:08
. . . in contrast to prior years, when there were fewer nods in GP's direction. Wonder why? :-)

People getting more aware...! :) [nt]

Thanks ever so much, pplater. Given the wealth . . .

. . . of photography talent on exhibit, I'd say the odds of taking home a "Best-of-'14"are slim to none, but sometimes, even a blind squirrel . . . . . . finds a nut. [And yes, that was a called four-rail kick shot!]
