This is one of my favorite pictures, so I really appreciate your comment! SP is sometimes strange that way, though-- all of us probably have favorite photos with just a few votes and others that "took off" though we can't understand why.
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
--Calvin Coolidge
