Love those, Brennan and Alice! Not so sure about the one of me tho.. oh well :p

Here is one for all those who missed the Gnomes at their secret dwelling..

The fairy tree

3 hidden faces.. hmm. Photographers on the trail :)

A lonely cloud hoovering over the hills :)

Got lots more.. Will digest more tomorrow.

My fav. of yours so far are Kite fliers and the one you did with the sign Brennan, that was really cool.

Had a great time you guys! Thank you :) It was fun to see you all in rl.. You too Don :p

And one I was thinking of for the AA challenge

Halfway down the hill after rock city.
It never ceases to amaze me how others see things that I don't when we are in the same places. I love the gnome home Sonda.

Aha.. Deja Vu? :) ..

Like that one alot Brennan.. Really nice detail and tonal range.

I agree.. If you would look at the pictures we 5 took, I don't think you would know we went to the same place.. lol.. Quite amazing.

Brennan- wow, that's really a great picture. Did you take that in the morning, on the way up? I didn't see any clouds like that past 9 AM!

Don, those are fine pictures. And I'm especially glad that you photographed the running spaceman you found! The Madrone trunk is also pretty special.

It took a while, but Keith Haring was the artist's name I was trying to think of when I thought of your "Running Spaceman" lichen image.

Love those Damon & Don.

The "Mt.Diablo5" is my fav. of yours Don... The others are really nice too.. "The Running Spaceman" is very cool.. Heh Spacemen and Gnomes, not bad for one field trip :)

Those are soo nice Damon. Nice comp, perfect color and Detail :)

Agrees w Alice, keep em coming!

Bearing in mind that this is the tiniest possible slice of the beauties of northern California, here are a couple more from Mt. Diablo on the 5th of March when the intrepid 5 went out to try to do it justice. Gnomes? Spacemen? Hmmm, do these fit the category, or do they need their own nickname...;>)

Ladies, you do flatter me :)

Eva, I really like your picture with the little cloudie. It's just so cute. I saw that cloud, but didn't think to take a picture of it--I'm glad you did.

Alice, you sure put that Sigma macro to good use. Great tonal range.

Here's another I took, photoshopped to all heck, and decided just wasn't good enough for the AA challenge. I don't like my actual submission much better... but I figured I'd post the outtake just for fun, and because it's one of few pictures from the 5th that I've actually edited.

I wish I had the time right now to edit the rest of 'em, but I just don't. This is the tenth week of a ten-week quarter, and I have so many papers to write I don't even know what to do with myself! More coming someday...
