These two are gorgeous.

I give it to my family because I’m trying to watch my weight. It’s really hard to do because not only does it look good but it smells delicious.

This is stunning. Never, never, never leave the house without the camera…that’s what I learned.

Wow! We just got rid of an old Rhodie because it just got too woody and wasn’t producing very many flowers anymore. This is spectacular.

This is very emotional. Nice job.

Thank you mopho. It was a fun shot.

Thank you. This shot was actually taken last October when the salmon were spawning. The mother is unusual for a black bear because she is gold. I’ll post oa pic of her later. I would never get this close to a bear in the spring…they are wayyyy to cranky and hungry.

Thank you. Yes, I had my eye on the mother, who was between me and the cub, but she was so busy catching and eating fish that she had no concern for me.

Thank you so much for taking time to offer your constructive criticism. I think you are right about moving over a bit. There was another photographer who had staked out the spot next to me and he was not going anywhere. I do see what you mean about the cloud, though.
