Thanks for joining me, even if it was from under your blanket. :)<br /><br />• Cricket, that's very cool that you had "my" tree in mind. You're welcome to share it at any time. Nope, I don't "do" Lent - I was raised Jewish. ;) But I'm glad the image worked for you that way. Thanks for the kind words, and for your always-anticipated soundtrack. :)<br /><br />• San, that's just lovely. I like that idea very much. Thanks kindly for your warm comment. :)<br /><br />• Nikina, thank you. I'm glad I toughed it out too. ;) Our geese seem to stay all year round, but it's possible that some of these are yours. I'll talk to them for you. ;) Thanks for stopping by. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-76070273373115395442010-02-17T23:26:54.445-05:002010-02-17T23:26:54.445-05:00awesome pictures ... good thing you were brave eno...awesome pictures ... good thing you were brave enough to get out of bed !! thanx ;) <br />my geese left in november...I miss them ... send them back soon ok ?? :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867821696340046455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-16847103835368676922010-02-17T18:13:16.105-05:002010-02-17T18:13:16.105-05:00I have basked in the radiance of these images, Hil...I have basked in the radiance of these images, Hilary. I too love the forms of dead trees, and yes, they do offer places for birds to perch. At our house, we put our spirit chairs on the trunks of dead pinons, and the spirits do stop by and sit a while.Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245301334922883500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-35406887708816191172010-02-17T10:08:37.794-05:002010-02-17T10:08:37.794-05:00Wow - photo #4... not only is it gorgeous, it is a...Wow - photo #4... not only is it gorgeous, it is almost what I was imagining as I wrote my last post, not specifically about trees. I haven't been about much these last few days so it was a joy to see.<br /><br />I don't know if you "do" Lent or not, but that photo captures the spirit of it for me.

Thank you. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, Lady Cat. They look like such characters, don't they?<br /><br />• BPG, thank you for that. Very much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Daryl, there are so many settings to tweak in different kinds of lighting. I don't trust auto settings for sunrises and sunsets.. or low light. You'll get it all sorted out before too long. It's a steep learning curve.. and I'm still at the low end of my climb. Keep at it. It's worth it. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Redbush, thank you very kindly. Your warm comments are such day-makers. :)<br /><br />• Soon, Cloudia. :)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-87185090015803089472010-02-16T21:27:12.524-05:002010-02-16T21:27:12.524-05:00More please :)More please :)Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-53132586349143971882010-02-16T16:03:45.972-05:002010-02-16T16:03:45.972-05:00The pictures are breathtaking!
