I agree with Greg. A summer photo would be nice. Better yet. Fly me there and I'll take the photo. lol. No way I could match this type of quality. You had a photo some time back called Bed of Flowers or something like that. It was from a golf course. Is it the same one? Love the shadows. What a beautiful photo. Yours are always worth the wait. Excellent PJ.

I don't play golf anymore, but I think I will make reservations to eat in their restaurant. From the looks of this place, it has to be top notch. Then I will caddie for Tick. Do you think he is a good tipper? This is another gorgeous picture, PJ. The sky really makes it dramatic.
