Very nice.

PJ, those four nerve daisies are somethin' else. They popped right back up and kept blooming! Richard, first you show us an Elvis blue Christmas and now we know why they call it a 'blue' norther. Great photos. And you hardly had to step out the front door to get them. No mountains to climb like me ;-) Looks like you traveled a little farther to get the pictures on your links. Those are great!!!! But one of them showed me what your problem is -- you need to take down that "Welcome Winter" sign and bury it somewhere! If you don't then Carrie is gonna' come over and shoot it full of holes. LOL!

I'm very flattered by your kind words. But, you also hit the nail on the head. Its one that I actually think about quite alot. How wonderful is it that we have such beauty around us to TRY to capture? Most of my shots are of nature and I figure I am just lucky to have them to shoot. I try to give thanks for the beauty around us, and the resources and health to enjoy it every day. They ARE miracles. And, if I keep at it, I figure one of these days I will be able to do a decent job of catching some of those wonders. :)
