  Ditto on everything Janine just said! This is so absolutely beautiful Chris!! And, I see you used your tripod - I am terrible about lugging mine around. However, when I see an image as perfect as this one, I remember why I should have it with me! This has got to be a WINNER!!!

  So sharp and so clear. The colors are beautiful. I told you Kennilworth was a great place for photography. I should never have told you about it because the rest of us will have trouble keeping up with your wonderful images.

  Thank you, Don, for the comment, and the tip! It is one of those places, like the Arboretum, that I knew existed, but didn't know just what I was missing until I finally visited! I'm grateful for the nudge you gave me, to get there! There's so much beauty there, a photographer can hardly fail!
