Lisa, thank you sooo much!!!!!

Hiiii dear Rod … yes, there’s a bit of Gaussian happening here … every once in awhile I like to play around with a shot. Sometimes one appeals to me just as is, and this one did. But I have so many butterfly shots that I thought it might be fun to play with one … and here she is!!! OOO .. by the way, guess what I found in my bag of tricks!!!! Polarizers!!! TWO of the things, no less … lol!!! So out I went yesterday up on the mountain. BOY … they take some getting used to, I gotta tell ya!!!! I haven’t d/l the images yet, so not sure if what I’m seeing on the camera’s lcd screen matches my hopes … but it did take some adjusting!! Nearly lost a fabulous shot of a hawk but I do think one came out. Using shutter priority … can’t go very high, even with bright sunlight?? Or am I doing something laughably wrong??? Anyhow, if anything turned out good enough to show, I’ll let you know … would love to hear your critique. Hugzzzzz and thanks for your lovely compliment on Delicato!!!!

Dawn, you are SO sweet!!! Thank you thank you!!!!!!
