Monnie Ryan August 03, 2010

The one you entered is my favorite too, although they're all pretty! I'll bet Ron got a good one from the other direction, too! #8803775

Laura E. Swan August 03, 2010

Hi Jo Ann! Hi Monnie!

So glad you both like the one I entered. :)

Monnie, I salivated over that beautiful flower and resisted snapping away so Ron could have the shot. It will be great to see his!

Thanks so much! :D

-Laura #8803782

Ron McEwan August 03, 2010

If I could just have a wee bit of Michelle and Franks vocabulary I could write you a real zinger of a comment Laura. I remember this one, we almost knocked each other out of the way to get it, kidding. You got it first. And well done indeed is the final results. (Johnson Canyon Right?)

We are melting down here. I want to go back. #8803904

John Connolly August 03, 2010

Beautiful work here Laura! I feel it is so rewarding going on a photo shoot with other BP members! #8804216

Laura E. Swan August 03, 2010

Lol! Hi Ron!!! Yah! I think you might be right about us seeing it at the same time! YES! Johnston's Canyon.

BUT! YOU have the FRONT of the flower! THIS is the BACK! :D

I saved the best for you!

66* and SUNNY here today. Mild and beautiful! Sorry to hear you are melting. :( YOU ARE HOME NOW???

John C., NOW that I have experienced it first hand I have to agree! It was a blast! :)))

Thank you both so much for all you said and to all of you as well!
