i feel i have stepped back in time ..
your photo and your edit make it so ..
i'm loving how there's not much that is sharp and defined about this photo .
its all about whats going on .. the viewer . ie. me .. is taken right into this little story .. and sorta wishing i had a bit of peripheral vision so that i could see what that cute little pup is talking to .. altho having said that .. sometimes our imagination can fill in the details that are missing in a far more exciting way .. !! .. ;)
congrats on a top ten placement in the challenge .. :)

before ppl got busy with drones here in dpc i'd make smart remarks about how you must have wings or could fly ..
these days i've got a bit desensitized .lol . but not desensitized to the amazing photos ppl can take with them .
i'm constantly blown away by how stunning and beautiful a birds eye view can be .
i sorta wish i could fly .. just for that ..
anyway .. congrats on the ribbon .. and such a wonderful image . :)
ps .. thankyou also for your comment on my katee . and yes she is missed .. :(

just reading this and did literally laugh out loud ..
would pulling wings off dead cicadas come a close second to pulling teeth ..
as it would definitely not be as exciting .. no wonder you delegated that job to the kid next door .. ;)
also i'm quite surprised that Lydia could have for one moment thought you were that cruel boy .. ;)

On the road again...

i think we'll have to include 'dang' in the list of words that are too naughty to say around children .. lol ..
damn used to be a really naughty word to say many years ago ... now its ok to use around children .. interesting how times change ..
anyway . many congratulations on the blue for this exciting image Lydia .
seems like the pain was worth the gain .. :)

and there are those gorgeous blue eyes staring at you ..
