What I saw upon awakening this morning :)

Taken over the fence-area surrounding the pool, looking down on part of the pond, the barn to the right - and out towards the back-back yard. Shot taken about 45 minutes ago.

It's like a fairytale landscape!

Thank you - really blessed to be around this.

The day after I took that photo, I took another; earlier in the morning.

Tell me why you don't have a skating rink set up on the left side. :slap:

That second shot is awesome!

Thank you! I work hard to create photographs vs "pics ". :)

I'm so glad you finally have your snowy landscape. It is beautiful!

I have no formal trainng on photographs but like you, i try hard to get those rare outstanding photos.

I have dabbled in studying this artform but it is very difficult to come out with some stunning photos. Nature does all it can to help. But once photos are shown, a lot of people say, gee, that is pretty.

A great photo is not merely pretty, it blows your doors off.

I have taken a few of those.

You know you have one when people will stop to actually study the photo.

I have some fantastic photos in Yosemite. I also found the perfect place to get a shot of Mt. Shasta to display it in all it's glory. I have taken many pretty pictures of that mountain but so far got one great photo.

I took many shots at the Grand Canyon but unfortunately don't have any that I rate as top photos. Damn. Too bad too. I tried to get some.
