I also thought the dried hydrangea blossoms looked like butterflies. In either case it is s magnificent and creative image. WTG Wendy.

Lovely abstract image. I really like how, despite the blur, you can still see "threads" of different colors in the water and the near foreground. Good to have you back sharing your images.

John, this is a captivating shot. Gap has such an intense look in his eyes, and what looks like a furrowed brow!!

Always looking...

This is special with such interesting shapes and patterns. I like the position you captured and the bokeh in the background. Great in Black and White.

Gotcha!

Lovely point of view. Great in BW, and the giraffe stands out well against the dark background.

Lovely light. However I'm not sure the pair in front adds anything, and on the down side they makes the image a bit too busy/messy for me.

I like this. It has a charming feel. Lovely depth of field and color palette.

Sounds like you've had a "Chinook" or two this winter. I lived in Calgary for 5 years in the 1970's and still remember those sudden swings in temperatures, and also on our arrival mid-winter being introduced to the necessity of installing block heaters in our cars!
