LOL!!! Well, Kathy, fortunately the traffic was just this one guy .. who just happened to show up when I was being all artsy. Never fails, huh??

Hiii Clive!!! Thank you so much, sweetie!!! and my knees are fine … I was wearing my trusty jeans at the time!!!

BigD … What would we do without you???? HUGZZZZ!!

Thank you, sweetie!!!!!

Hi Lisa!!!! Thank you so much!! Sooo right about the crazy positions we get into for the right shot!!! When I first got there, I was alone … then suddenly a dozen people showed up … well, at least they didn’t catch me hanging upside down from the rafters.

Thank you so much, Eric!! It was being considered until just a few minutes ago!!! Very considerate of you!!!! Thank you again!!!

The late afternoon sun was hitting the water under the bridge … I guess that’s why those rafters are so nicely lit!!! Glad you enjoyed this one!!!! Hugz!!

Hi Mark!!! Thank you, thank you!!!! Yes, isn’t the light on the beams interesting!!! It must be the reflection of the sunlight on the water!! I’ve got several shots of the interior of another covered bridge, but they were taken on a very gray, colorless day … and didn’t turn out as well at all. Thanks again for stopping by!!

Wendi, thank you so much!!! LOL!!! Yes, my knees and back are very pleased with themselves now!!!!!

Dear, dear Blair!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I really like this kind of photography … all the wonderful angles and lines … and hope to do more of it!!!

Hi Joanne!!!! Thanks so much, hon!!! When I went inside I was just enthralled by all the detail!!! So glad it turned out!!

... busting out laughing … oh, you have no idea about splinters!! Soooo true!!!! So happy you like this one … it turned into a real process … but tons of fun!!!!

Thanks, Colin!!!!!!!

Thank you very much!!! It was tons of fun to figure out how to fix!!!

ooooo Thank you, darlings!!!!!! I’ve been sitting on this one and some interior shots from one of the other covered bridges, but just not happy with them until I tried the HDR. It’s tricky and most times I’m not happy with the results, but this one did work. The flipped layer trick was just sheer luck … I had no idea what I was doing and no confidence that it would work … but what FUN!!!! LOL!!!! Hugzzz!!!

Tereza, you darling!!! Thank you!!!! What a lovely thing to say!!!

Hiiii Luda!!!! Thank you, darling!!!! A lucky break on this one!!! Hugzz!!

Thank you so much, Evita … I’m completely fascinated by images with lots of lines and angles … am always agog when I see the work done by others like this!!

LOL!! Oh sweetie, you have NO idea!!! ... laughing … yepper … if my yoga teacher could only have seen me!!!!! Heaven only knows what the guy in the pick up was thinking!!!! ROFL!!!

Thank you, Christine!!!

What a lovely, lovely comment!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! Yes, you can tell from the shot that I was doing something odd, lol!!! It truly was a “do the limbo” move … I wonder if the guy in the black pick up is still laughing at me!!! And you know, you’re right. If I like a shot, I’ll beat the poor thing to death!!! Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted working on an image … and yet NEVER post it. I must be getting picky in my old age, lol!!!!!

oh Scott … what a great compliment!!! Thank you!!

Thanks so so much!!! I’m so glad you got a kick out of the image and my little note!! I know a picture is supposed to be worth 1000 words, but … I like backstory, lol!!!

Thanks, Dave!!!! Yes, I’m always finding new groups .. they can’t hide from me very long!
