Thank you Monnie. I really liked what you did with "Marriott Ranch" The way the fence and it's shadow lead you into the scene is perfect. Would love to travel in your part of the world sometime.

Thanks a lot Denny. Loved your gallery also. Especially "The Needles 2". Our grandson is in college at Corvallis and we will be going to his graduation in June, then plan to spend a week along the Oregon and Washington coasts. Any tips on places not to miss?

Thanks Bonnie. I agree. Though I was born and raised in Washington, I've only been to the Palouse once,and then only passing through on a dry hot day. Your shots of "The Palouse in Winter" and "Autumn on the Palouse" makes me want to go back now that I've started doing photography. Many of your shots remind me of scenes I've seen around Ritzville, where my grandparents lived.

Wow - what a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing - especially with those of us that live here in the Eastern US. Love the colors. Is this early morning light? Is that a tree branch in the right hand corner? Can't make it out on my screen. - Esther

Fantastic capture of light Dale! The colors in this are beautiful and love the shrub in the left lower corner. It makes you feel like you are really standing there looking at this. I do not care for the branches in the upper left or on top though. :~)

Thanks Esther. You know, we say the same thing here in the west about all the things we can't shoot that you have in the east. This is indeed morning light. This view was from a field across the road from our hotel. A little 10 minute hike and there it was.

Thank you Aimee. I do agree that the branch in the upper right should have been cloned out. Will probably do that. However, as far as I know there are none in the upper left. Just a minute and I'll check it out. (time passes) Nope, no branches but I did clone out the ones on the right. Here's the shot.

Thanks Sue. Yes, this was hand held and I used the zoom lens on my Sony H2 which uses a fixed lens. Basically a point and shoot with DSLR features such as apertures, shutter, program, and manual modes etc.

Thank you Aimee. I used the cut and paste method to remove the branch. Much cleaner than cloning, not to mention, much faster.

Dale, OK, this is an amazing shot! It almost looks like fake little buildings, bec. they are so perfect! Truly amazing the differnt places that exist!!!! I checked out both versions, and I do like the one where you cloned out the branch better. Great job on this image - fabulous color!

Jeanine and Debbra, thanks so much for all those kind words. And Debbra, this is really the way it looks there. So many place where you can walk on trails into the desert and catch scenes like this and yet be only a few yards from your hotel. Hope to go back soon.

Thank you Donna. I can see from your Oceanside series that you like those golden evening and morning hours as well. I love the morning especially because it is always so quiet and most people are still snuggled beneath the blankets so I'm free to wander undisturbed.
