That is coming close to the "too pretty to fish" catagory.

Very pretty!
What type of camera are you using for those great pictures? I need to buy a decent camera so I can contribute to this website.

Just contact me if you would like more detailed info. Remember, you do not need a fancy, expensive camera. I good compact camera with macro function is sufficient. It all comes down to light, white balance and some simple editing in the computer.
