    Schmoo!

    How nice to hear from you ...

    That is not far off from what it actually looked like.
    I did tweak the saturation +15 to bring out the billowy (is that a word) parts of the clouds ... is it too much? I felt guilty putting it up +15 but it did make for great dimensionality, I hope you agree? If not ... take me to the wood shed and teach me a good lesson please.

    This is what a nasty thunderstorm coming across the lake looks like right at sun set.

    Nice photo...I to am waiting for summer :D This winter has been a brutal one that is for sure.

    I don't know what lake this was taken on---I'm use to being on the smaller lakes in MN and this looks like a nice size one.

    Come on man I am trying to enjoy our winter - which is like your spring. The desert wildflowers are in bloom, there is GRASS growing in the desert and you want to ruin all of that?:D

    We are expecting to hit 80 this week and it is still February!!

    Much larger lake then what I'm use to being on :D

    I lived in WI for a 1-1/2 yrs. Its a beautiful state. And Lake Superior is awesome in size. Would love to head that way this summer, but made plans to head to MT instead.
