One thing I never realized about isto-ica is how much she loves to eat pickles. We went to this one flickr meet-up thing and there she was eating pickles out of the jar (by the hand full).

As a retired high school art teacher, I must say that these photos remind me of the art students I left behind. I miss them and will enjoy the youthful creativity here on your site.
I'm obsessed!!
All of your pictures never cease to amaze me. Good job, you guys/gals.
