Nicole, the watercolor effect is stunning. Amazing what Photo Shop can do, I'm tempted to buy the software. Funny, I just painted a picture for my sister-in-law for Christmas (acrylics); Photo Shop would have been so much easier!

I love your red charger plates. I have gold and silver but would love to have red. Love the pictures you post daily. I look for them every morning and check to see if any has been added throughout the day.

Wanda, that is so pretty! I took these yesterday at the feeder. Please ignore the blue fuel can in pic #2. We really aren't trashy people (LOL!), but DH had that down there for starting bonfires. BTW, not sure if you can tell from these pics, but we think one of these does may have been shot during deer season. She has an identical wound on each side, although it is well healed now but kindof puckers her hide. She is in the back in this first pic and on the left in the second pic.

Dang, I've looked and looked and can't find the tags or invoice. I know it's here somewhere, safely tucked away if we need it (read: buried in a pile of DHs magazines). *wink* It is a beautiful tree and is DHs favorite. We bought five trees at the time, and the other four died but they were a different variety. This one has done very well, and we'd love more of them.
