A brilliant red sunset I saw while my chauffeur (a.k.a. Dad) was driving me home from work. I whipped out my Canon Rebel XTi (you should always keep a camera with you for scenes like this) and got this shot. Our windshield is scratched up, so the oncoming car’s headlights appear streaked, but I like the effect.

Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart.

I added smilies:

These ones I made:

These ones are my derivative versions of the Wordpress defaults:

There is a row of these smilies above all comment boxes; click one to insert its code into your comment. No smilies will appear until you post or preview the comment. I set up multiple smiley codes and have listed them below—ignore the commas. For any of these to work, you must have a space or line break on both sides of the code (unless it is at the very beginning or end of the comment). Posting ” Hello :smile:. ” won’t work, but ” Hello. :smile: ” will, appearing as ” Hello. “.
