I had to take it apart whenever I was done and it got to be too much of a hassle. <BR/><BR/>The photography part of blogging is very challenging for me. I just don't have an eye for "the perfect shot". I end up taking a gazillion and hope a couple are usable. Luckily I'm not a perfectionist and can live with a shadow or two :-)<BR/><BR/>Happy photographing!dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.com
