In "Feeding the Natives", Robbie appears as a guest star surrounded by a flying formation of Rocket Racers. Originally there were to be two sets of races, forming an "X" shape across the picture. But as the image evolved, I decided on the current composition, placing Robbie in the ground and putting me in the background feeding a tame "racer".

Technical Stuff:

This and "Lost in Space Fantasy" were two of the first images that I made when the "Head in the Clouds" occurred to me. It is somewhat crude compared to the later images, but the whole composition & the feel of this image, make it still one that I like. The background is an image from a NASA photo and the columns exist just as you see them in a botanical garden in Huntsville, Alabama.
