Jasdip, I love your picture of Smudge. I love her name too. :) She also reminds me of a former kitty of mine, Miss Kitty. I just love that brand of cat!! Really drawn to them for some reason. Thanks for the sweet memory.

Somewhere in IL on our trip down this year.

Beautiful photos! Thank you all for the visual treat.

Sabbath7....maybe instead of a camera...software. I manipulated...uuuuh.....brought out the colors your eyes saw, but the camera didn't pick up because it needed more light, either a longer exposure or a + light modification, cloudy day setting or just use Lightroom software. Then if your shutter stays open longer you'll need a tripod. :0) Digital photography is about manipulation, sometimes with an f stop or a filter...or a 300mm lens that cost $6K.....or ....start small....as long as the compositon is good....and it's VERY good as seen here....taken by YOU....then manipulate it.
