Calling all twitterers…

It looks like twitter is the “new, big thing” online. Just for grins, I thought I’d test the waters a bit — with some luck, maybe we could get a community of photographers going on it!
So if you’re in a mood for social media, you can follow my tweets over here.

A shot from last summer — of St. Louis’ Gateway Arch, at twilight…

Another shot from the stock show, this time from an incubator set up for kids to see…

He’s well within his rights, the sign doesn’t say anything about goats…
