Good Morning, Don.
I got up extra early this morning so that I could start the daily before I go to my swim aerobics class. But my eyes see that you beat me to it and have shared some delightful captures from your recent trip.
Starting the HUMP DAY thread would have been perfect with he gator laying on the stump. That is so neat and I can relate to looking a lot like that in the afternoon as I go down for a nap on the couch in the living room. Oh, I love taking naps and recently read how good they are for you. That photo makes me smile. Thanks for the additional photos of some of mother nature's delicate touches to her landscape.
I have more motivation to post when I have something to share. It is nice bringing a coffee cake when a friend asks you over for a cup of coffee in the morning. I don't like going anyplace empty-handed. And now I can start to share the rest of the photos that I processed for my camera club's Christmas Party. I have to send them in by midnight tonight. I may make some substitutions, but am glad that I feel happy with most of them. It is not a contest, but I always want to send my best. Like Peter D's club, the competition can be quite challenging sometimes. And I am happy to say that recently we have gotten seven new members! We have no idea how this happened, but we are very excited about seeing new faces and the fact that the club is still alive and doing well. I am happy for the two fellas who took over the club. Because of their enthusiasm and hard work, they have done so much to make the club fun, and exciting.
Okay, time to get going.
Here is a photo from when the president of the club drove us to the west coast of Michigan to take photos of FOUR lighthouses on Lake Michigan. It was a 6.5-hour round trip. We went one year ago in January. I will never forget this trip. It was one of the most exciting photo trips that I was on, but probably also one of the most dangerous. We talked about it for two years before we made the plans. If it weren't for the club, I would have never been able to take photos like this. I wanted to create a certain FEEL for this image. When the photo comes up on the screen tomorrow night, I plan on mentioning how I feel about it and thank them again for the opportunity they provided.
