This is much nicer than the first edit for this image. I can even see the blades of grass under Scooter's nose. It looks like early or late in the day light in this shot. That's a pretty nice looking spaniel.

Spaniels make wonderful canine pets. I agree that this is a bit dark. I see that you have a .mac account and assume that you are using a Mac. The default Mac display setting is brighter than most PC's. I had this problem until I saw a thread about how to adjust my monitor.
The thread where I found out about the Mac cal.

You are fortunate to have a place nearby to go see and photograph these little creatures easily. I was going to look up the name, but it is not showing up in the site that I use for butterfly ID.
You captured this one sharp and clear.

Turks Cap

These are beautiful flowers in the wild. I like that you shot this so that one looks like a reflection of the other by using shallow DOF and careful positioning of the camera when you composed the shot.

Kittens are such sweet little critters. We have a couple of 2 month old ones here at home now.
Nice little portrait. The fully developed paw with claws is cool too.

Yum, and crunchy yum! The white BG and big DOF make this shot special.

I can see that you would enjoy riding your bike through this countryside. The sky looks very good in this shot for a P&S shot. The sharpness is impressive as well. I hope that the problem with your primary camera is solved soon.

Day 12: Festival

Good job, and the perfect time of day to get the right mix of light. The combo of shooting parameters worked to make this shot look good. I see that you put the camera up overhead to get the crowd for this. I do the same, but with a monopod, and use the self timer. It allows me to put the camera about 12 ft above the ground for this sort of thing.
I am curious about the zoom setting that you used for this shot. I usually post that in the photog's comments box if I am shooting with zoom and have the info handy in the exif.

I don't usually even notice that an image has a border. This shot is greatly improved IMHO by the matching color border, which works nicely with the diagonal composition and colors in the image.

A fine story and an awesome storm to go with it. That's a very interesting photo too, with great leading lines and lots of details to see.
