Very Beautiful Ray, as always!  Your pictures of Del Rio, Tx are also.  I 
can't wait for the long elusive retirement so I can travel and see all these 
beautiful places  many of you share with us!  Some day...

>Hi Y'all,  greetings from Del Rio TX.  We came down here hoping to escape 

>the nasty NY winter, but the weather hasn't been what I expected.  We are 

>at the Southwind Marina right on the shore of Amistad Lake created by dams 

>on the Rio Grande River.  I have water on 3 sides and can see Mexico 

>through my front window.  As you all know I haven't done much carving since 

>I got my laser engraver,  so I brought along some blanks and tools.  I did 

>a few cottonwood bark pieces (no pics) and am now working on a butternut 

>panel 18X30 with grapes and leaves.  I started with one of Ivan's grape 

>patterns and then used the background (ground) for additional elements I 

>put in freehand.  It's still very much in the rough, but I would appreciate 

>your comments on the project and my use of otherwise waste wood.  I'll 

>probably add more to the bottom to balance with the top..  Take a peek if 

>you like.. http://www.PictureTrail.com/razaxnstuff   Thanks, and best 

>regards,  Ray Mighells
