<DIV>hi all, I was down in the Chesapeake bay area last weekend and spent a day
at the waterfowl festival. There were some fantastic carvers from all over
the place. Most from the US but lots from Canada and even a carver from
New Zealand. While I myself could never pin myself down long enough to do
one of these ultra realistic carvings, you really have to admire the skill of
what they do. There are a couple of stone carvings thrown in for good
measure also. I have set them up in my picture trail album. Take a
look if you care to.</DIV>
