Thank florl looks scarey LOLMorel are VERY tasty, a delicacy here, VERY expensive if you buy them about 30-40 dollars a lb (if not more).
It's fun hunting them, and we usually hunt for about 3 weeks around my bday through the 2nd week of may, has been a bit cold yet, so we will be finding more as it rains and warms up more #8576646

Love how we see color in the BG at the top and then gradually fading to black at the bottom. Very well done!
HEY JOHN! You should see our mail box today. Instead of spring we have high winds, and snow drifts. I shot a picture for you and Pat R and Chris and ALL mail boxers... I will post it later today.
Great job!!!
