Lightbender - 'been making about 6 loaves of sourdough/wk since 'o7. Its a little harder than bread w/ commercial yeast, but nutritionally & flavor-wise, there's no comparison. breadtopia.com, thefreshloaf.com, are good. If Teresa's sight is still up, northwestsourdough.com is excellent. Jeffrey Hamelman's Bread book has been on my counter for the last couple years, used every week.

Lightbender - Water Spirit - is that an egg sack from a stingray or manta ray?

I just learned something. I have seen these wash up on beaches but never knew they were sea-animal eggs, I always thought they were of some vegetation.

Chassis,

Marvelous range of tones and image detail.

As composed, the various elements don't really work together. But the bread wrapped in the towel, alone, filling the frame would be gorgeous. Love the textures, of the crust and white cloth and the plane of focus cutting through the image.

Thanks Rich, you've given me some things to think about.
