    Thanks!
    Being on Jungledragon meant a change for me. Before JD I didn't care about the names of the things I pictured, just get the picture right was the idea. Now I want to know the name and the search for the right specie name makes me more and more knowledgeable about the nature around me. Also knowing that my pictures are valued at jungledragon motivates me to go out and make more pictures. Posted 13 years ago
