Such a great shot Ann, this is just so fun, makes me smile..
Appel almost 8 years ago

Yea!! I made Kim smile! :-) Seriously, though, isn’t it great how images can instantly provoke an emotion whether it be happy, sad, angry or whatever? I love being able to make a person smile with a photograph! Thanks, Kim!! And thanks for the fav too!!! I appreciate it greatly!!

Thank-you!! I’m so glad that they’re not too old to be a bit silly now and then! Me, I think I’m too old to jump like that! :-D

Thank-you, Shelly!!! It was fun!! Everyone should be a bit silly every now and then, dont’ you think? :-D

What fun! I love the use of negative space. Simple and clean! Wonderful image!
Appel almost 8 years ago

I thought the negative space would emphasize that wide open country feeling, at least I was hoping it would! Thank-you so much!!
