I invited everyone to this fabulous buffet to celebrate your Birthday! This is a midnight buffet so at 12 AM on September 2nd we will raise our glasses in a toast to you and then dig in to these Delicious treats prepared in your honor to show our appreciation and love for you.
Enjoy your special day my friend with friends and family, all of us on Caedes care for you and feel like we are part of your family too
Hugs!

Some courses allow the walking and some don't Diane. Until they told me to leave, I would walk all I wanted to. You might be taking your life into your hands the way some of us golf. :)
Nice to see you back.

Thanks for the kind comment on my wood duck. anne :-)
Tell me if you like it or don't but be sure to tell me why! I promise to always give honest and sincere (albeit gentle when necessary) critiques. MY NEW YEARS TIP for all, go have some fun with your new gear you got for Christmas. Do some things you rarely or never do. If you always shoot scenics, go shoot macros (or as close up as you can get.) Practice on different subjects, try new lighting techniques, bracket your shots (shoot the same image at different exposures and different apertures), get down low and shoot from your back, your belly, and your knees. Bend, twist, lean and climb up on things. Shoot toward the sky (carefully - blown out sunlight is NOT attractive :-) Just do something different and amaze yourself then share with us :-) Love you Caedians.
Hi Diane,
Thank you for your comments on "Hanging out in the NO WAKE ZONE (sober)".
It was those guys in the boats they set anchor and tore a hole in the liner on the bottom.
Hello Diane....Many thanks for taking the time to view (CASTLE IN CORNWALL)and for your comments,they are as you know very much appreciated...Yes,a great number of servants must have lived in the castle....Today the castle is only open to the public from January until the end of May.....Thankyou again...All the best to you Diane......................Mick.
Hello Diane - Many thanks for the kind, encouraging comments you left for "Bringing It All Back Home". Much appreciated, as always.

Thanks for the kind remarks on South Shore Oahu Lighthouse. Glad you liked it. anne =D
Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
Honesty is always best. I really hate it when people make nice comments about images that mean nothing. True friends are those who are will to tell you what they really think. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Do they sting? You bet. Will they improve my work? I certainly hope so. Those who defend their errors rather than act on them are foolish in my book. But my book never was like the rest of the world. I can and do take constructive criticsm well. Thanks again Diane. Keep the punches coming.

Thanks for the comments Diane on Nightshades. If I was going to stay at a rest area on I 70 I would say the one a Mineola or Boonville would work. They are far enough from KC and STL that they should be safer. Here is a link.
