If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry D. Thoreau
Hi Pat and PJ, my oh my what a terrific job and united effort has been shared with us today, simply beautiful girls, simply beautiful! I love these flowers, and of course, they are pink, therefore irresistibly adorned by me! Very nice work, a pleasure indeed to view! What wonder you see up there in New England PJ. Soon you will share with us the splendid beauty of New England's magazine like fall! I will be looking forward to that for certain!! Nice work and I applaud you both! Sincerely, Marilyn

nice job PJ! and to be honest I didn't even notice the fence on the first photograph! - I was so taken in by the beautiful water and flowers that I overlooked it and had to go back to look at your previous photograph to see what had been removed. Now I agree it is better without the fence, but it also goes to show that the beauty of your first photograph was very visible and my mind disregarded anything it did not need to see. :) Patti

Dan (Kidder) beat me to my question about the shotgun and blowing the fence away. I guess Pat has a soft side and a soft touch, too, as this is an excellent rework of an excellent capture. Nothing like the teamwork that goes on at this site. Thanks for sharing.
That was some mighty fast clean up work....and fine work at that. You both did wonderful. Thanks so much for bringing this back with the new change, PJ :) Lori
Excellent team effort you two! That is one of the biggest hydrangea bushes I have ever seen. How beautiful it is sitting on the water. PJ, you did good and Pat you did real good. Way to go girlfriends! We can do anything together!!!!!! :~_
Lovely scene and nicely composed. You've made those flowers even more beautiful with the water backdrop. The large stones lower left are a big plus also me thinks. Looks like treacherous footing so I'll stay where you've placed me and stand on my toes ... placing my nose over those lovely blossoms for yet another perspective. I might add that Fence outfit you hired did a rather nifty job with the removal, but don't tell Pat I said that ... she might keel over from shock.
see, i knew the De-Fence dept wasnt wasting when they spent $600 for a toilet seat..it was squirrielled away for photo-finishes...oh, that was the defense dept..and photo finishing...hehe oops :P
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything

Ahh PJ... What an excellent composition.
Flowers, rocks, water, mountain, sky (clouds)... Hmmm!
You march up many elements on nature on this image... Wonderful.
Today morning it's a nice visual experience for me... Thank you!!!
