When I Think of Winter
Uploaded: December 23, 2009
This is a re-entry that was well recieved last time by everyone but the judges, so I thought I'd give it another chance. The conspiracy theorist in me decided to change the title from sleepy hollow, since that may have been the reason for not even getting an Ep lol. Well last entry I said this really looked to be an easy week for me. Never ever say that. It's asking for trouble I think. Have a wonderful wednesday everyone and happy shooting. :) Tommy Photo captured December 22, 2009 at Meramec Spring Park in Missouri.

Thanks so much for the kind words everyone, they really mean a great deal to me. Thanks for the ease of mind in the gardening area Courtenay. Next year my plan is to close my eyes when the bulb books come in, so I don't over order again. I shot this in color, and had to use curves to bring the bridge out of the mist a little, then I used the IR simulation filter in PSP X2 Cassie. Have a wonderful holiday season everyone, and happy shooting. :) Tommy #8242371Ellen Hodges December 23, 2009

I left you a message at the Sloping Trees for you just now and on BP! Do you EVER read your BP MAIL? OH RIGHT! YOU MASS DELETE! I forgot! HA! One is VERY OLD from me there. :DThis is beautiful Tommy. The Judges HAVE to notice it this time. In fact...let's go ahead and think GOLD and then knock on wood. Or is that think of WOOD and knock on GOLD? Darn. I hate it when I get tired and confused...Or is that confused and tired?...
Roxanne M. Bubar September 15, 2010
Outstanding work and image. #8901460Tommy E. Burgess September 16, 2010
Thanks Laura and Roxanne, I really appreciate the kind words. Yeah I know, I'm bad about the mass deleting. Sometime I need to clear out my account where the comments show up. I mass deleted and got it down to just over 17,000 emails. Bet that goes back a few years lol. I'm sure there are some things way back I need but I don't wanna go through all the pages to organize it. So let the mass confussion continue. I think the saying goes, Knock on wood while your handing out gold to Tom, or something like that. I can just email you a shipping address if that might make it easier. Have a wonderful weekend both of you and happy shooting. :) Tommy #8911522Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna September 19, 2010
