I think you may be in one of the few environments where everyone nods when you describe a post-processing decision as "it just seemed like the thing to do." :)

I love this shot -- it's a great little slice of life.

You know, I think there would be millions of women who would buy this. What a great fundraiser. :)

pretty and dreamy -- thanks for sharing your post-processing steps, too. What a lovely little girl, and kudos to her for being a helpful model. (I usually get stuck-out tongues from my two kids these days ;-).

You know, even though we are not the kind of family who would spend that kind of money on treatments for pets (I don't think -- never been faced with that decision, as we only have three cats and the most they have required is the occasional vet visit for infections, etc), I don't understand people who would be hard on you for it. It's your money, not theirs, and you are the one to decide your financial priorities, not they. Dorks. Raspberry indeed, and best wishes for you and Barney.

ooh, ouch. Sorry about your knee.

The power lines work here to draw attention to the sunset colors at the horizon.

lovely. The red background sets off the delicate flower beautifully.

Oh, so pretty. Great story, too. I'm a small-town hill-dweller myself, although I'm only third-generation in one direction and maybe fifth or sixth in the other (actually, before that, "we" were much closer to your neck of the woods). I too have lived here my whole life and left only for brief vacations. So I know where you're coming from with that.

Thanks for sharing the photo, and yourself, with us. :) Nicely done on both counts.

That does look like it would be challenging. Yikes.

Nice shot -- busy but with a good reason to be, and I love the pristine colors of the water juxtaposed/blended with the craziness on shore -- which is actually invading the water a bit. :) Good capture.

This is a really cool shot, almost a surreal feel to it.

Man, BAMartin with her sausages and now you with snickerdoodles -- this is just plain unfair. I'm starving.

Gorgeous shot, looks like it should be in a cookbook.
