Howdy, neighbor! So, when do we go shooting together?? We should all meet at the park sometime! This beautiful....Great colors and love the snow! #7123677

Thank you so much for the kind words Shelly. I appreciate your kind comments very much. Just drop me an email sometime, I'm game for a photo shoot. I'd actually thought about maybe even testing the waters about a shoot some time with some of the other members in the area. It looked like the Powell Gardens shoot was fun. Just an idea to toss around. Email me the next time your headed to the park. Have a great evening and day tommorow and happy shooting Shelly. :) Tommy #7123787
