Thanks, Suzie and Carolyn. There is a down side to all the beautifil oaks. With the oak pollen at record levels I had a sore throat and swollen eyes by the end of the day. Thank goodness for Zyrtec. #79413Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MURRY! Looks like I am a little late on this one, had to page down forever before I reached the bottom! GREAT SHOT! In remembering your fall shots, this would be a great shot with fall colors, wouldn't it? #79626Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Very nice Murray! I like the effect. :) #80340Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
An exceptional photo, Murry! The processed one is a work of art, but I'm afraid my preference is for the original shot on this one. Sorry I'm so far behind and missed your BDay :-( Sure hope it was a happy one. Shooting photos like this is like making your own birthday present! #85878Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Thanks, Suzie, Judy and Gary. Gary, I appreciate your honest opinion! It's always nice to hear kind words but I really like to know what people actually think. My friends here locally are never bashful when it comes to critiquing my work. It probably doesn't make sense to buy a camera capable of such clarity and then make a painting out of the photo:0) But I'm not a purist and really like to use the digital dark room for certain effects and to save beat up slides. #85968Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
Murry you're on a roll! Congrats! #100621Joy Brown May 26, 2019
