    Jan, this is so pretty! The colours are eyecatching, and the composition, dof and the light on the water droplets are lovely. Really nice shot!

  • Jan Timmons replied

    What a great comment, C! Thank you. Somewhere there’s a mountain behind these purple things.

    Lovely shot Jan – love the dof and the colours. Aahh… the trusty old D70 eh?

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Yes, even with the camera’s “raincoat”, that D70 gets to endure the tough weather. Well, except for last weekend, but we really didn’t expect snow and fog in the mountains. (Some of us didn’t drop our D70s in a creek – was it a creek?)

    Unbelievable colors Jan… this is the out-of-this-world purple in my heart. WOW!
    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

  • Jan Timmons replied

    I’ve not quite embraced color as much as you, Vasile, but I hope to do so one day. Appreciate your enthusiasm, and admired your Life we chose!

    Beautiful… What is these things growing from a pine tree?? never seen anything like it.. GREAT CAPTURE :))

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Hi Bean. Yes, some sort of pine – I’d never seen a purple cone, either. Perhaps affected by the wind and altitude? Thanks for your kind comment.

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Hi Kim. Nor had I. They do become regular cones, I believe.

    Whatever they are, they are pretty and you “got them”, well done.

  • Jan Timmons replied

    Well, whatever a whippet is, you “got” it, too! How does it happen that we’re the only ones I know of here to use a monopod?
