Imagination is such a wonderful thing! The title pretty much makes this photo, doesn't it? :-)

Good one and good title :-)

Alec, I think you should add exquisite to your description.. Jara, and the photo!

Ha! That is masterfully done indeed. My only comment is that I cannot believe that you did not have 8 different pictures of the guy in the hat.. what were you thinking? (Just kidding. LOL). I really like the relatively uncomplicated nature of the composition.. and it certainly is a "Pierre"!

Thanks for dropping by and your comments, Pierre, always appreciated.

Another of your brilliant constructs Pierre. Very well done!

That must be the best looking chestnut I've ever seen.. Unlike Shawn, I'm not sure I would qualify it as sexy! LOL. Excellent work as always, Pierre :-)

Thanks Pierre.. I'll play around with it some more :-)

Well seen, and your final pp is excellent. Love the tones and textures. Ideally I would have liked to see just a bit more of the top of that window, but I can see how you might have been limited by equipment or space..

Great timing.

Excellent candid shot.

Obviously you were not watching the road while riding! But I think that was a good thing this time :-) Excellent catch.

I would appreciate all comments! Thanks :-) And please view larger

Leaving Williams AZ and heading to the South rim of the Grand Canyon.

Thank you for dropping by and commenting.

Very nice.. excellent timing :-)

Nice one of Clara, Dave. I don't think she would be irreverant enough to stick her tongue out at the camera.. it's you she'd be targeting methinks! LOL

Bob, it's not only impressive that you find characters like that, but you actually had a camera with you and ready to shoot!

Pretty scene with the reflection Rosica :-)

Was your friend beauty or the beast? lol. Very nice lines..

Very well captured Andrea.. your timing was impeccable :-)

Hi Andrea, even though for me, there is no clear focal point in this photo, it is very pleasing to look at. Your black and white tones and rendition are really well done. I almost reached for the top of my head to see if it was in fact getting wet! lol.

Another interesting shot. Very well composed I might add.

Interesting to say the least, and as quite a few have mentioned, very eye-catching!

Nice one!

Excellent catch! I think the reflection and the colors are superbly integrated.

Jannica and Linda, thank you for the visit and comments :-)

This looks like a lactarius.. their flesh tends to be on the brittle side.. if the flesh is damaged you might get a green coloured milk (that is one of the ones we used to get in Lebanon. Not sure of the species). If it is lactarius deliciosus, it is edible and good after washing. Very tasty fried up with a little bit of butter and some salt, pepper and maybe a touch of lemon added at the end. The milk from the deliciosus is mild and turns a carrot color quite quickly. Cap and stipe may have greenish spots.

A lot of the lactarius species are inedible.. but typically not poisonous.
