  Hello Dick: Not so well this month! I need to go back for a refresher course.
Take care, Merna

  Merna, don't feel discouraged, the subject matter plays an important part in the photograph and you don't always have an interesting subject available. I've been spending lots of time at a water garden that just happens to be minutes from my home, and some days the light is just perfect, the pads clean from a recent rain, and blossoms to take my breath away. At that point I will stay there in Florida's hot sun and shoot for hours. You have the eye Merna to recognize a pleasing scene but not always do we have all these other conditions right.

As much as I love being in the swamps during wading bird mating season I had to cut my project short this year and not follow the chicks to fledging since we, wife Sandy and I ran into some poisonous snakes and were not properly protected to share their space.

Thanks you Carol Q for your nice comments.
