Thank you everyone! I am in a rush today but will come back later to be sure I have visited each gallery of yours. I'm so pleased that you like this one. It really stood out to me when I say it.

Ann Coates level-classic June 18, 2009

Laura, love the POV. I feel like I am right there with you looking up at that gorgeous blue sky. You're either down on the ground scrambling around like a worm, looking for reflections in puddles or looking up with your head in the clouds. You need to be careful Laura that you don't bump into something or fall over but if you did I'm sure you would find something amazing to photograph. Asbolutely love this Laura and straight into my favs. #7644520

Hi L.S. All Great minds. Like this perspective and your title #7649977

Laura E. Swan level-classic June 19, 2009

Hi Everyone!

Your comments have been so great to read.

Yes S.Z.. All great minds for sure! WHAT WILL WE POST NEXT? ONLY WE KNOW!

I'm glad all of you enjoyed this.

Brother Rolan, I want you to be whatever tree you like best but be careful. You are NOW on MR TREES BASKET BALL TEAM. We all are...so PICK YOUR POSITION! I think the white one is making the basket!!! Not Positive!

No peeps, I didn't lay on the ground like a worm with ants all over me for THIS ONE.

Maybe I should have so you guys would have better visuals to play with in fun little minds! HA!

I'm glad you guys liked the title and dedication. It came easily to me this time around. :) !!!

Marisol and Cassie I agree with you totally and Jack you sure can! Any friend of Mr. Tree's is a friend of mine!

Yes, you ARE Lorna :) BIG TIME.

And Jeff I know JUST what you mean. I had the same thought... Zzzzzzzzz...(Do Ants Seep At Night? This would be crucial in my decision making! HA!)

Early...sorry about your neck...but really isn't your eyes that would need massaging? HA! THINK ABOUT THAT ONE! Hee hee!

Brett...I AM ALWAYS LISTENING FOR BEARS! As my Jewish Friend Always Says, "OY!"

Thanks everyone for all the fun! You're great!

-Laura :) #7652277
