Hi Dennis, : )

I think I prefer the first shot to the second...but if there was a man on the moon while you were taking these shots, then I'd say that the second would be my better choice. You know, kind of like synchronizing with the astroguys and the earth life, if you know what I mean. : )

THanks for sharing.


Hi Ken, : )

I absolutely love the macro dew shot. It'd be a great abstract for viwing on any surface also. The little blue alien with the popping black bead eyes is cute...reminds me of a baby that just tried to eat yogurt on his own .. : )


Thanks for sharing,

Hi Dennis,

What a lovely series of mushrooms. Must be very wet in your garden. After seeing your mushroms I checked our garden to see if we had some but no such growth in the vicinity. : )

I loved the furry seed heads the best. I think that's because of the nice silvery shimmer of the fur fibres and the lovely bokeh.

Thanks for sharing.


Hi Ken,

You've been adventurous once again. Lovely colours and abstracts.

Thanks for sharing.

Neat shots pertaining to history.

I think I like the 50% crop of King Gustav Vasa better. Neat work of art and documentation.

The castle is very different-looking from the ones we've come to expect; towers and all. This one is more like a mansion than protection against war's crafty attacks. : ) But they are very interesting.
