Nice Graphics.

But the photo on your About Page is much more interesting.
It's really a great photo, but you have to get a better camera than that Canon PowerShot A700 you're shooting.

If you like Canons, B&H Photo has a great deal on a Canon DSLR;

Canon EOS Rebel XS SLR Digital Camera (Black) with 18-55mm IS Lens; $489.95 & Free Shipping and no sales tax.
Then you can get the Canon Mount Sigma 70mm -300 mm Auto focus Tele Zoom with Macro for only : $239.00

I prefer Nikons and all of my family have them (In all types), it's one of my 'rules', but to each their own :-)
And I bought one of those Sigmas for my Nikon D3000 DSLR, the lens is fantastic. I use it more now than my Nikkor 55mm-200mm lens.

In case you don't know, the 18-55mm lens is equal to a 27mm to 82mm lens if on a std 35mm Film Camera. Or to the 'pro' DSLRs with the large sensor the size of 35mm film. But those cameras are $2K plus (and go UP from there). That's nuts when you can get a Quality 20"x30" Enlargement with the 'compact' DSLRs.

And the 70mm-300mm is equal to a 105mm-450mm Tele Zoom.
