Roz, you are getting better at slipping up close to these little critters you find on the 'trail with your macro. I think your "Yellow" challenge shot was awesome in capture and processing. This one is great too. I like the leaf behind the bug in this shot. The veins in the wings are treat too.

Cool blurry! It's almost a real life B&W shot. You didn't post shutter speed. My guess is about 1/4sec panning.

I can see by your spelling that you are shivering. This is a beautiful place, and your photo shows it off nicely. This must be a huge place to get that much in at 28mm.

Old and Tired LOL. That's good recycling. I notice that they have a new looking power pole.

The low angle light adds a lot to this shot. I like the open country look too.

That is a grand shot. I like the way the branches intersect at right angles, and echo the crosshatch of the screen. And then of course there is the very nice horizontal cloud lines in the background. Sweet!

Excellent emotive shot, and a well deserved ribbon. Congrats on the blue. You don't post many photos, but when you do, it's worth seeing.

That is a lovely little garden and hideaway from the days worries. I like the very "green" clothes line, and the sky fits nicely with the stepping stone walkway lines.
ETA Funny how you spend years getting the garden to look just exactly right, and all everyone notices is the clothes line LOL. My Mom, 93 has one just like it in her yard, and still uses it.

Day 30: The Back Bay Inn

This is a lovely view. The image is a post card shot from top to bottom. I like the way you put the tall yellow flowers in front of the aloe plant to make them stand out. This reminded me of a place near the ocean that our team stayed in for a couple of days in Ensenata Mexico while preparing for the Baja 1,000 mile off road race.
