Wow. That’s beautiful.
Wow. That’s beautiful.
We-e-ell, you do have to download them to your computer, then resize the darn things…
This reminds me — do you mow your own massive lawn?
Are you kidding? My father-in-law does it.
Thanks for the sunset.
Mine gets blocked by New Jersey.
So, I guess that Nikon is still treating you okay, huh?
Mine will show up by then end of the week, with a little luck.
Way to go on the in-laws mowing your lawn. Mine are in their 80′s and live in Jersey. Too far away for lawn care.
I counter your sunset with a sunrise over a lake and hell, another picture of a a couple of boats and more sunrise on the lake.
Oh, and God Bless America!
Sunset is probably my favorite thing about life in the midwest. It makes the lack of decent fabric stores far, far easier to endure.

Very nice!

I fell all warm and orangy inside, or at least some kind of citrus.
Freaking gorgeous.
