Beautiful, expressive photo. The roses add a nice touch. Love that dog! Is she a breed, or a delightful mix?

These are great! The people, as well as the poses, are very appealing. Is that you with your wife in the frame? She's as beautiful as your daughter.

Except for the afternoon when I took that photo, the bears operated at night. They would tip over my heavy trash containers and drag the bags out. We have a large area that housed pigs 100 years ...

Love those amazing eyes! Unfortunately, many non-native species have been introduced in the U.S., accidentally or intentionally, where they end up doing more harm than good. Witness the Japanese ...

Good captures of beautiful horses. I always love to see mothers and babies. I'm glad these horses are protected. Thanks for sharing.

Cool fish (#2 is my fave), and I'm always happy to see turtles--thanks!

Cool bats! They don't seem to mind the sunlight; are they not nocturnal? Where was this? Thanks for sharing!

I like the conversion better, which surprises me because I don't often care for B&W flowers. (But sometimes I do!) Nope, not callas. Could be cannas.

I took this from my porch with the FZ35.  Didn't have to use much zoom, as the bears were just leaving my trash cans (and taking some garbage bags with them).

Thanks, Minnie. You made me curious, too, so I went looking. Apparently I didn't save the color version, which I suppose says something about how wonderful it was.  :-)

I enjoy working (more like playing) with Topaz and Silver Efex Pro, but in general, I'm not fond of converting flower photos to B&W. There have been exceptions, however (including some I've ...

The upper buildings in #1 are somewhat blown out, IMO. I like the busyness of #3 and the emptiness of #4--as well as the lighting. Nice to see my old hometown.

I'm not sure either, Mike--but thanks for trying!

The insect looks like it's part hummingbird.  :-) Do you know what it is?  Is that a very long leg appearing below him, framed in the loop? And I love that marvelous plant! Some kind of fern, ...

Thanks, Mike. I'm glad you pointed out the power line, which I hadn't noticed. Looking at the radio tower, I realize three of them are in this photo. You can probably see two; I detect the third ...

I have a long-standing fondness for most of the elements in this image: water, ship, dramatic sky, and bicycle--plus some cool PP! Nice to have them all together. I wish I could see an expanded ...

Very cool! Perhaps my son spoke to him at one point. Joe has been a ham since he was 14--over 20 years ago. His contacts span the world and beyond (the International Space Station).

One wonders what the fence once kept in--or kept out.  Surrounded by color, it is starting to lose any competition for attention.

With the icons, cross, and other physical embodiments of the Greek Orthodox religion fully present in this small space, I like the way your photo says true faith does not require a cathedral.

Monty, if I cloned out the tower my son might clone me out.  :-)  He is a ham radio operator (I am too, but just beginning), and he built that 120-ft. tower single-handedly. But your suggest has ...
