Thanks for stopping by and recognizing my reason for taking this shot.  Due to some family matters I've not had much time to take any worthwhile photos lately. The best I can do is watch what all of you are posting.  Rest assured------- I'll be back.  Thanks again. ~~~~~~~~~L

Great colors.  I've always been captivated by mysterious shadows. ~~~~L

That's what I call a fashion statement. ~~~L

A composition that grows more impressive the longer I view it.  I love the orderliness and meticulous geometrics anchored and made real by the leaves top left and the angular shadows of the street lamp.  Nice work. ~~~~~~~~~~L

Hard to concentrate -----and keep a straight face-----after reading Carlos' wit.

 Ah, well. . . . . You've captured IMHO the true essence of cats, Jack.  Tight crop is very effective.  ~~~~~~L

Truly spectacular, Alf.  You caught perfectly the directional flow of water and sky. Another beauty.  ~~~~~~~~L

Full story indeed.  Good eye.   ~~~~L

A marvelous feast for the eyes as only you can do.  Well seen.   My compliments!  ~~~~~L

Very effective processing of a scene punctuated by a spectacular sky.  Compliments.  ~~~~~L

An interesting approach to the moon. "Ethereal" comes to mind when I ponder this one-----with the light wisps of clouds, the elevated contrast in the trees, and the grass as anchor in the foreground.   Nice work.  ~~~~L

Can't decide what I like best----the Siamese twins and their triplet? . . . .or the clown feet/shoes.  Funny either way.  Your self-portraits are always clever.  Best wishes for a Happy New Year!  ~~L

Thanks, Jack.  Actually, it's Colorado.  Don't think I'd probably get along too well living in the South. ~~~~L

Terrific optics, Wolfgang.  Good eye.  Compliments! ~~~~~L

Stunningly beautiful. Perfectly composed. Another extraordinary photo, Gunnar.  My compliments.  ~~~~~L

A great find, Jack. Your photos, more often than not, coax some terrific and insightful comments from those who see them.  This is one of those.  ~~L

 I find that certain photos affect me based on what's going on in my world.  This one causes me to pause and reflect on life/death.  The reality.  The finality.  The all-encompassing realm of thoughts surrounding soul, religion, after life. . . . . . . . . . .and the infinite possibilities.  This is such a thought-provoking image. Compliments.  ~~~~~L

What a beautiful photo. I'm sorry to hear of your sadness, Tatjana.  ~~~~~L

The others have said it better than I could. Nice work, Drew.  Well composed.  ~~~~~L

Provocative.  Sinister.  The interpretations are worth the price of admissions.  My compliments.  ~~~~~~~L

New life.  The wake up call to how much we take for granted.  New life. The reality of how, with the passing of time, we've become callous to the beauty, the fragility of it all.  New life.  Renewed hope. Such a wonderful thing.

   That's what your touching photo says to me.  ~~~~~L

Correction:  Should have been  Twiddledee and Twiddledum.  My apologies to Mr. Dodgson and you.

Straight out of Alice in Wonderland.  Looking for FiddleDee and FiddleDum.  Seriously, really beautiful. ~~~~~L

A nice abstraction.  Have you been traveling in the US?  This looks like some of the rock formations in Utah. . . .   Beautiful colors.  ~~~~~L

Spectacular!  The time of day produced lovely blue and purple tones.  My compliments. ~~~~~L

IS this another one you've experimented with?  I think the soft coloring on the edge of the frame is very effective.  Interesting crop.  I like it.  ~~~~~L
