You are a Super-Mo-Dell.

Yeah, I guess I am. (And no, Vince, it's not just the clouds. :-)

Congrats, and that is far, far better a pic than I could dream of capturing.

Oh, I dunno ... with a mo-dell like me and a setting like that ...

If memory serves me correctly, she only just started being a photographer
when she took that pic, right? And this isn't the first award that this
particular photo has won? She definately has the touch.

She was just starting to get serious about her photography about this
time. The photo won the Scott rod the month I entered it.

Yowsa. So that one photo has bagged her a Scott rod and $1000. Nice.

Sweet, Chuck. Pass on my congrats to Carol.

Thanks, Tim. Will do. She was pretty surprised when I told her. Her
first thought was, "Cool, more photography gear for me!".

A woman after my own heart. :-)

Being both trumps one or the other every time. I should know. . . ;-)

Hmmm ... when have you been lucky? :-)

I can't really remember, but I'm pretty sure it's happened.

Howdy,

SWMBO just got a letter and a check in the mail, and she is the
winner of the Grand Prize of the Flyfish.com's first photo contest:
http://www.flyfish.com/index.php

Her photo was one of me fishing Indian Creek in Yellowstone National
Park. She would probably like to disavow any knowledge of the photo,
as she's really gotten better by leaps and bounds since then. I would
also like to disavow any knowledge of the photo since it caught me in
mid ... er ... "cast", when she told me to "look like I was fly-fishing
or something". From the looks of the cast, I chose "something".

But, I submitted that photo when I learned about the contest, and
it has worked out pretty well. I got a Scott S-3 3-wt. to practice
with to improve my casting, and she got a check for $1,000 for her
photo winning the grand prize.

Dude! You suck! I mean: Yellowstone. Fly fishing Yellowstone. Winning
rod. Winning cash. SWMBO. That's like the You Suck Quintet!

:-)

Heartiest congratulations to Carol and maybe you can squeeze a Lion miter
trimmer outta that cool grand. I mean, you gots to make frames, right? :-)

I like the way you think. :-) Unfortunately, I told her long ago
that if she won the award the cash would be all hers.

Ebaying the Scott rod that "she" won ;-)
