Weeds

Stephen, thank you so much … you’re so kind!!!!

lol … yeah … the innocent kind!!!

Oh, you sweetheart, really??? I was just about to take it down … it doesn’t look right here … I love the full size on my desktop … but here … all the detail is squished or something, lol!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! Hugzzz!!!

Thanks, Lori!!!! I need to add that over under comments … thanks for reminding me!!!

LOL!!! Thanks, Bill!!!!!!

Thanks, Ann!!!! The fun thing about being up here is the incredible number of weeds, and how beautiful they really are up close!!!!

Thank you, Bela!!!!

Thank you!!!!!! For some reason I can’t figure out … they don’t look nearly as cool here as they do on my monitor full size … the pizels must be squished or something!!! But I’m glad you like it … maybe your monitor is picking them up better in this resolution??? Who knows … either that or my pickiness has just taken itself to new heights, lol!!!!!

Trudy, you are such a sweetie!!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!! It’s the fence … funny thing is, going down the other side of the mountain is a loooong fence that is just the “civil war” kind of fence you mean … with the zig-zag construction? I’m sure there’s a technical name for it. I’ve take a ka zillion shots of it but have yet to get one that I’m sufficiently happy with to post here … but here’s a sample …

You could be right … or maybe I’ve just had too much coffee and my eyeballs are jumping around in their sockets again … ? haha … anyhow, thanks for the second look … I’ve got a horizontal of this that matches that I’ll probably post one of these days, too, and pop them both in Sets of Two. I THINK the horizontal looks okay and not squished … ? sigh .. whooo knooooowzzz !!!!

thanks, sweetie!!!!!!!

Hi Ric … thank you!!!!!!

Thank you so much, Iris!!!! So glad you like it!!

LOL … don’t worry, Beve … it’s just a phase she’s going through!!! Glad you enjoyed it, sweetie!!! Hugzz!!!

Thanks, Gina … they’re kinda fun, aren’t they???

Thanks, sweetie!!!! Now, I’ve got a horizontal that goes with … I’m really stuck on this texture thing at the moment, lol!!!!!!

Hello, hello John!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

Thanks, sweetie … I think I’m in a rut with these textures … lol!!

thanks, Luda … the second shot is the reason I got the Cokin nd filter … that view from that spot is going to be gorgeous if I ever get it right!!!!!

I was so hoping to get “the” shot with the new filter over the weekend, but believe it or not there was a 2-day Blue Grass Festival right where I would have set up, lol!!!! Plus, the clouds / sky wasn’t what I would have wanted.

Basia, I’ve just done myself the very great favor of taking a few minutes to go through your portfolio … and I can say one thing … I’m completely honored that you would stop by and leave such a lovely comment on an image of mine that, this morning, I was ready to toss. That it brought me into contact with your magical work means that it was meant to stay, lol!!!!! Thank you so much … and I look forward to spending more time among your magnificent images soon!!!!

Hi Wendi …. thank you!!!!! I agree with you … that layer of texture can really add a mood!!!!!! Isn’t it fun???

Thanks, Trudi!!!!!

I do too … they always draw my attention when I’m out shooting and I always try to wiggle myself around to get them in the shot, lol!!!!

Larry, you are such a sweetheart!!!! Yes, I love the fences, too!!! isn’t it funny how we can sometimes single out a specific item that means so much … windows, doors, benches, fences … inanimate objects that really have that extra something!!!

Thank you, dear Lynnie!!!!!!!! Hugzz!!
