Hi all - thanks, and glad to provide a bit of levity.  Dogs can be endlessly entertaining!

Marie - alas no luck this time, but he's caught some pretty good size fish in the past.

Sam - yes, they're a great breed.  Hope you get another soon.

Radu - Hans is a good swimmer, but unlike Sasha, his short coat wont let him stay in cold water long.

Best, David

Hans tries his luck . . .

Thanks for viewing,

David

Hi Tim - good to see your work again.  I like this one vey much - a wonderful invitation for a pleasant walk.

Best, David

Beautiful Holger, the sky especially.

Well done, and congrats on the new lens.

Best, David

Gentlemen & Lady - thanks much!

Although our snow is temporarily gone - the lakes are still frozen, allowing suitably wintery pictures.

Best, David

Thanks Mike.  Have not shot this boat before - just discovered in an old farmyard "boneyard", with all sorts of interesting abandoned things.  Have no idea why this farmer had a lifeboat - perhaps his wife wanted to plant a lot of petunias . . .

Thanks Radu.  Yes, it was 60F today - unbelievable for January.  I'm concerned some bulbs, buds, etc. will open if it does not return to normal soon.

Best, David

Thanks very much Tony & Efren, for your kind and positive comments.

A beautiful and mystical image Alf.  Love the wide view, and the blue fog.

Well done,

David

Thoughts welcome,

David

Thanks Marie & Mike.

(Mike - I'm a bit, ahem - asymmetrical myself:)

Thanks Jack, Wayne, & Tony - so pleased you like it.  The pastel colors are what drew me to this old house window at first, but I found the composition difficult with all those horizontal and vertical lines,  (nothing was plumb and square anymore!).

Best, David

Pure winter!  A lovely scene Radu - well done.

David

Thank you all very much for your positive remarks.  Much appreciated!

(Mike, Eli chickened out and backed out of there shortly after this photo).

A delicate, ephemeral rendering Sarah.  I too like the position of the flower within the frame.

Well done,

David

Eli considers a way forward across a washed out beaver dam - with a

battered but living Cherry tree in the background.

Thoughts appreciated, David

A gorgeous shot from the past Tony.  Such a vast landscape!

Best, David

Great shot Michail - sea and sky both beautiful.

Best, David

Boy and dog belong together - a fine but bittersweet shot Carlos -

Best, David

Beautiful specimens - and an interesting composition.

Well done, David

Thanks Marie  - good eyes!

Super nice work Carlos - love the lighting, and that grin . . .

Thanks Mike and Jack.

I've been know to hug trees, but have yet to have one speak English . . .

Best, David

Thanks Radu.  Yes, we are all best of friends - (we like the same things!)

David

A very calming rural winter scene Radu, even though it is cold and snowy.

We've lost all our snow here temporarily - I'm jealous!

Best, David

Another beauty Radu.

Well done again!

David
