What a lovely scene! I like the depth of this image and even better is the warm glow of the evening light. You have done a fine job in both the capture and editing, Patti. There are so many ways this could be presented. I like your choices a lot.

  Wow! This is a cool capture! ... or should I say, warm! Beautiful colour tones and reflections! Fabulous work, Patricia! Is that a Witch's Cauldron by any chance? Ha! Ha! :)

  I am in awe! How can a fine landscape image degenerate to a discussion of footwear?

  LOL, Michelle! I learned a new word today ... "aplomb"! I had to look it up in the dictionary to make sure it wasn't a condescending word ... but it was quite the opposite! :)

Steve ~ You know us women ... we love our shoes! ... and like Kathleen said, this is the perfect place for footwear to come from! :)

Poor Steve...I'll have to whip him up some shoes, too...something he would be proud to wear...a sandal perhaps, with big flowers attached...meanwhile, you see, Lorna..my caldron not only got us all new shoes, but it whipped up a badge, too...think this little pot is going to need to be placed on all of my images!

  I beg your pardon! They are modest lederhosen and will look quite smart with my new sandals.

  How thoughtful of you, Lorna! They are gorgeous! Do they come with high heels...add some extra toning that seems fitting for the lederhosen.
Perfect for Spring! Gaudeamus igitur! :)
