    Wonderful, Thusie! Just great!
    I remember a "companion" shot to that, wasn't there???

    Isn't there?

    Wonderful, photo! (But tell me your secret, not how do you photograph, but how do you pick? I never enter, can't pick)

    Really great!

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Thank you Ginger.

    Yes I have a couple other conifer 'bloom' shots. How did I pick? Well lots had to do with how the folks on Dgrin saw them and Don.
    To be honest Don is te reason I'm in the contest in the first place. He came home on day with the clipping out of the paper and said here ya go. I said are you NUTS? Nope get on it, you have some pretty good stuff.

    Thank you much Andy and Sid. You need to actually win a week to win a prize and that would be nice, but making honorable mention the first week suits me just fine.

    Sid..Dear Sid don't start the name thing, you are about like a piranha on a blood trailumph.gifD

    A star is born! Congratulations! Something for me to aspire to. I always hang those entries on my wall at work trying to force myself to get out and shoot, but so far haven't entered any! You're making me think I should "just do it".

    Thank you all hugely much. You know I almost burst into tears when I saw that shot even made it into the 'best of the week' seclection, silly I knowrolleyes1.gif

    I have until Sunday to enter for the final week, they already have my best shot to date,( and that was it), but who knows maybe I'll get lucky before Sunday. I won't win this but 2 honorable mentions would be smashing. Yea, yea getting greedy:D
