thanks for the kind words everyone. this was the rain saying goodbye after pouring down all day yesterday while i feverishly clicked out the window heading back south.

Lori, you rock, you know the kermit song! Hehe. My obscure pop culture reference did not go wasted.

it's not that easy being green
to find yourself the colors of the leaves
when I think it would be better
to be yellow, or red or even gold
or something much more beautiful like that!

This is a great pic, and a fave. However, there is a shadow from a car in the front left corner, and the horizon is tilted clockwise, so I can't save it.

I agree its good but you should crop away the car shadow

Charl Durand says:

Looks fair in smal view but clouds are very grainy in enlarged view, probably due to oversaturation, and the fens is out of focus, pehaps crop it out, it's a bit distracting.

I like compliments and opinions from my friends. I appreciate constructive criticism from people I respect and from genuine people. Barbs from friends are fun to a point. The barbs from complete strangers; it's sometimes nice to fire back with a good dose of anger outlet management. This is sometimes required you start your retort with the words "Yo mama..."
