The white birch are pretty special to us.<br /><br />Hi Naturegirl- glad you stopped by. Your garden pictures are really beautiful!<br /><br />Vanilla- they almost make one want to start trying to figure out if they are letters and words<br /><br />Ann- Duke would love it! Of course, they are supposed to be leashed. I forgot that when I showed her pictures there!<br /><br />Ratty- yeah, it's hard to focus on something when there is a huge pile of good stuff.<br /><br />Lin- I liked that post a lot. I tried a bunch of different shots, and none of them did what I really wanted. I couldn't get both the light through the hole and the scene that I wanted in the background.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-78749407624799355452010-04-07T21:30:24.058-04:002010-04-07T21:30:24.058-04:00Good eye, Sharky!
