Thank you Carol, Patricia, and Karen! So glad you enjoyed my 'Twilight Fishing' image...I'm only sorry to have been so long replying to your great comments though!

Phil and I had had lunch at this beautiful location, and then spent a further few hours just relaxing and enjoying the surroundings... These local boys arrived to try some fishing just as the last of the daylight was fading, and I thought they would add some human interest to my final few shots of the day! ;)

Thanks again... Carolyn :) #940606

Thanks, Norm - I wholeheartedly agree with your comment!!
