Delightful!

The bucktail has a nice effect. The picture is pretty good also. :D
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Hans, it's a rich color for bucktail. It's like a snipe and purple collides with a black gnat. Could work. Nice tie.
