The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
Thanks so much for your detailed comments on the Lemurs Mimi. I so appreciate knowing what people really see in a photo - what they like or don't like. You're a true Caedian with heart! 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.
Happy New Year to you Mimi! I've been out of circulation over the Christmas period so apologies for responding late. I hope you had a great time and that 2009 will be a happy year for you.

Tks for taking the time to comment on "It's All Over"
It's always nice to see Christmas, but it is alson nice to see the hectic season come to a fold and to get back to normalcy!
Hi Mimi.. thanks for the sweet comment on WAITING FOR SUMMER i'm glad you liked it.. I figured with all the snow around you'd like a little bit of green to warm you up ;)

Thanks Mimi for really nice words on Martin House. I feel if one person was made aware of her existence and passing, it was worth it. Your words made that come true.
Thanks

Thanks, Mimi, for your comments on my shot of the Crepe Mrytles. I did consider doing some cropping, still could as a new post, but I was trying to show the bigger picture of what a beautiful look the street has when the trees are in blossom.
Hello Mimi....Your kind words on (FIELD OF HOPE)are very much appreciated...The project raises loads of money for the appeal and that is wonderful...Over here in the Cornwall the majority of the fields are awash with the yellow of this beautiful flower....Thankyou again Mimi....All the best to you....Mick.
I am so glad that I brought some happiness to your day (when you saw my picture)!! Thank you very, very much for your comment on 'now my feet won't touch the ground'. When I painted this (watercoloured it), it was really fun. The strokes I did were light and soft, so I guess that has fitted in to the picture. I didn't intend for her background to blend in to the background but it just happened, but I did wanted it. Thanks again!!

Tks for your comments on Rush....oh and things are ok, my cousin lost her husband suddenly. It was unfortunate...she is fighting Cancer at the moment too so I am sure this couldn't have come at a worse time! Although, there is never a good time to lose someone!

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
Thank you Mimi for the comment on "Unknown bird" I found out it is a Chukar, from the Pheasant family. They release them in wildlife areas for hunters to kill them, how nice. I am glad the ones I saw survied for now. Ed and Garrett identified the bird for me. Thanks also for the link, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you. ~BIG HUG~ Gregg

Hi Mimi, Thank you so much for checking out Winter's Waltz , and for your wonderful comments! I'm pleased that you like it and have taken it to your DT! Much appreciated my friend :)

Thanks Mimi for the nice comment on "Counting Sheep". Glad to know that you like it. I felt really bad as they came trotting towards me and waited patiently to see what I had to offer. Next time I'll take some bread along.
If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
You have no idea how much I miss the little guy. Just not knowing what happened to him for sure is the real killer. I have been under the impression that coyotes got him but my neighbor across the road came up with another possibility-he was a beautiful cat that someone may have drove up to property and stole him. He was there at 9am when I left for church and when I got back about 2 pm he was gone. Anyway, I have kinda gotten over it now but will never forget him. Thks for commenting.
Hey Mimi, thanks for the birthday wishes, hugs! xx
