Hi Lindy Native. Thanks for posting these photos. But could you e-mail me at barbara.loehr@patch.com…Read More with the originals and some more details? The photos you posted are really blurry/bitmapped. I think if you send the originals and some more info, then a story could be put together for the news section of the site. Thanks!
