Angela, Audrey, Paul, Jennifer, Carol, Colleen, Sherry and Peaches thank you so much for your encouraging comments! And Sherry and Peaches, thank you so much for the b'day wishes!

Happy Birthday Carol. Wish you the best.
pov is outstanding in this photo. I also love the depth of this. the bright blue sky with the white clouds, then the pole that holds the hammock up, then the ropes of the hammock. I also love the way the pole is somewhat blurred as to draw our attention to the detail work of the hammock itself.
Another great way of lookiing at things though the eye of your lens in a different way. #4559424

David and Frank, thank you so much for your encouraging words! This was the first time I had ever tried a hammock, and I was surprised that I didn't fall out! I had my friend hold my camera while I got on because I was afraid it might dump me right in the sand! :)

Frank, thanks for the birthday wishes too! I really appreciate your kindness and thoughtfullness! #4559582
