   I love the serenity, solitude and peace in this photo. Nicely texturized, like a painting. I’d love to be picnicing under that tree.

   Wonderful job on the new blog. Congratualtions to the entire Sky Watch team!

    Hi Klaus!
    I don’t know much about trees, but somehow I got the feeling of an African savannah here - maybe it was the choice of colours! It felt like warmth and the need of a shadow - which you had provided.

    I know you have helped the SWF-team a lot - thank you from “the rest of the gang”!

    Thank you for the nice comments on my own blog! Now I have even provided a translator on my Norwegian blog… See you at “A”!

    Uh - you shouldn’t have! Though I have to admit, that the time that I found the lolcat thingie remotely amusing was, when I saw it for the 1st time. After that it had more the tang of a stomach flu. I also forgot to tell you that the notary was pretty stupid. He worked for free. I told him he will get 75% commission.
    I might have failed to mention to him, that I don’t charge anyone anything. Well - tough luck. (For him, though he will be back next SWF. So please: Shhhhhh!)

    Uh - you’re not! Rejected that is! I got all of them! But the same Antispam
    software sorts things into moderation sometimes, when a Spamwave breaks on the site.
    And I had one today with about 200 attempts of spamming this little innocent blog.
    Caught them all and kicked them where it hurts the most and picked the good peas out!
    Like yours and the comments of 5 or 6 other bloggers, that ran into the same problem. So - you are officially “not ignored”!
