Thank you, Simon, for your generous comments on "woodland ducks". I'm glad no one was around to witness my foolishness that day. I ended up scooting along the snow on my knees to avoid further breakthrough on the ice!

Hi Simon,
Glad you liked my "DAFFY, and thank for saying so !!
"DAFFY" is a bit "Twiggy" ..... but "DAFFY TWO" is much better!.
Cheers! .........John.

Thanks for your words on "seagull9" :)

Thanks for the comment on "fallen in the rain" -- I have to admit that I nudged the flower just a little to get those indentations in the water, so I'm glad you noticed!

Hello Simon! Thank you for the nice comments on my Daisy photo. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. No caterpillar only a leaf edge.
Russ

Thank you Simon for viewing and commenting on my Lady Bug Blossom photo. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Russ

Hi Simon ! I appreciate your comment on Wooden Star 2 - it works well as a desktop and I´m glad you enjoyed it !

Thanks for the comment on "Just Resting" I think you are right about the shadow , it was late in the day and the shadows were dark and long, just trying out the light, I think next time I will change the exposure a bit. Check out "Just Resting 2" tell me if this isn't a bit better.

Thank you for the comment on Jupiter and it's moons. I think it came out pretty well.

Thanks for the comment on -white beauty - and i understand wat you mean Simon.

I'm behind on responding to the comments made by my friends here at Caedes. Thanks for your votes and comments on my recent images.
Russ

Hello Si, Thank you for your comments about “Gidgit”. Yes it took a while to separate her from the background but it was a pleasurable task. I’m pleased you like the result.

Hello Simon ! B.J. and I appreciate your nice comment on the hepatica image - it is always very nice to find it - you know for sure that a more pleasant season is on it´s way ! Don´t know if you can see this flower in Cornwall. You are welcome to steal the idea with frameworks, Simon..lol...we are looking forwards to see them. Thanks for your comment.

Simon;
THank you for your suggedton about my Line Shack and Aspens. You wished to see the image without polarizer. You are looking at it. I had mentioned in the description the use of a polarizer would make the sky tunr almost black. That is the way it is at 11,000 feet.

Simon;
Thank you for answering my reply. Although the sky is very dark, most of the effect is caused by the human brain. As we have been trained to see a sky as blue, when we look at something that is not exactly as the brain knows it to be it will do an "automatic" color ( colour) correction. Film, however does not have that option and is therefore more honest with colors that surround us every day. Isn't it a wonderful that we can look at the "Real World' now and then and become overwhelmed by the beauty that we usually do not see? When you are at altitude and look skyward there is a noticeable difference in the deep rich color of the sky but only a film will record it at it's full beauty. I am so happy hat you have enjoyed my Aspen series. Thank you so very much for all of your nice words that make me humble in the presence of greater photographers that I will ever hope to be..

Hi Simon..thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment on ~reflections~. I love the idea of the abstract without the duck, but the ducks were everywhere (this is their season to make baby ducks :) & we just couldn't get away from them. I will try that when we go there again with different flowers. These were masses of red and yellow tulips along the banks of the small pond! Have a good weekend :~)

Hi, Simon, wanted to let you know I appreciate your comments on Capturing the Dawn. I tried yesterday to shoot the same scene without the photographer, but the dawn was too foggy, and the strong golden light never appeared.

Good morning Simon..thanks so much for visiting ~reflection pond~ I stepped out of my comfort zone (scary for me..lol) & went for something a bit different. This entire pond was lined with these beauties, it was quite a site to behold. I am glad that you enjoyed it and your comment is much appreciated :~)

Simon, I really appreciate your taking time to comment on Great Sand Dunes at Sunset. It is really a pleasure to share the experience of this landscape with so many others...Mike

Hi Simon, thanks alot for commenting on "Forest Greens", I really appreciate it.

Hi, Simon. Thanks for commenting on "Favorite Toy." My pug "Koda" much prefers to play with all things in my house that he's not supposed to play with. Every room has several "dog toys" in them for his entertainment, but he wants to play with my glasses, my bottle of Tylenol, my shoes, etc. etc. etc....He's quite a character but he's only a year old...(I'm hoping he "matures" a bit. LOL!) Border Collie's are great dogs. Thanks for sharing. Nice to meet ya!

Just took a tour through your gallery.. wow. Just.. wow. Quiet

Hello Simon, Thank you for the compliment on Wild Peony. It's much appreciated.
Sincerely, Fred

"What can be the use of beauty other than to look at it?"

Thanks, Si for comments on "Reflections"! It was just so beautiful at that one spot that I almost forgot to snap a few shots.

Thanks for your comments on lion of the night and thank you for taking that picture in the first place

Thanks so much for your comment on Flame Marble.. I am juat learning to use Chaoscope.. It is much more fun than I thought it would be.. Much appreciated..

I've just returned from my hiking holiday in Cornwall, enjoyed it very much. It was very funny to walk "inside" your picture of St. Ives and see the place with my own eyes. Beatiful picture. Thank you for posting it. And great place with very friendly people.

Thanks for Liking "Fulmar2" so much. :D

Hello Simon, I appreciate your visit and very positive feedback on my Blue-tailed Damselfly. Thank you so much.
Sincerely, Fred

sup, just like to say keep up the good work. great pics in your gallery.

Simon, please remember that I have been the mother of the virtual voting idea. LOL Seriously I am just about to lose my temper about all these idiotic changes following one another at a terrible speed here on Caedes which used to be such a nice quiet shelter from the hectic reality. Best regards.

hi Simon, thank you very much for your kind words on standing tall (and old). truly appreciated.

Simon, thank you for your nice comments on "Windmill"! I appreciate your taking the time to comment and I'm glad you liked it :-)

Hello Simon,

Thank you very much for your generous comment on the "sunset". I really appreciate it. I am glad you liked it. I strongly encourage you to visit my other photos. Perhaps you'll find something of interest.
This sunset was one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. I passed by this place so many times so finally I had to stop some day to take the shot.

Greetings
Ewa

Thanks for your sweet words, Simon. Much Appreciation!

Many thanx go to you about the comment on my IndianHead Beach photo...yes the people give it some sense of size..and the fence seemed to feel right to me..thank you so much once more!!

Hi Simon,
glad that Happy horse (I) made you laugh!
Paul

Hey Simon, it was very nice to see you comment on "White Oysterette". Your critique was excellent:-)

Hey What cheer Simon....appreciate your welcome comments to 'Stormy Rose'....I dont know who got 'soaked the worst'...me or the flower!.......I did not need to do a lot with it just a tweak on auto levels and some blur with a touch of H&S...Glad you like it....thanks.

Best wishes

Bob

Hi Simon,

Glad my ducks family caught your attention in the gallery. Thank you so much for your warm coment on this little group. I have to agree it is the green which makes the photo so appealing. You are always welcome to my gallery.

Ewa

Hello Simon, many thanks for your compliments and thoughts about “Dispute Settled”. I avoided portrait style shots on Caedes for a long time. Of late I’ve discovered a certain challenge in trying to present them in a manner that is acceptable.

Hi Simon, thanks for your comments on Robin, very much appreciated.

Cheers...........

Hey Simon, thanks for kind comment for 'Black-capped Chickadee'.

Hey Simon, thanks for commenting on Coastal Curve. It was actually taken at about a quarter past four in the afternoon.

well now here i am. wohoo anyway thanks for commentin on my new pic . totaly appreciated . bunches of hugs.

Hi Simon! thanks for stopping at "Coot" :-)

Thanks for the comment on "Ashley River" You should have seen that water in person -- some parts of the river were bright blue, but the inlets not too far away were black. It does tend to look a bit artificial (the water, I mean), but it was so saturated with minerals and the like that it reflected the color of the sky really well.

Thanks for your comment and tips on "Frozen Foliage".

Hi Simon....Thanks for clicking on my "Mutual Interest" image and leaving a positive comment....it is much appreciated.

Simon, thank you so much for the nice comment on "chilled", I'm glad you like it.

Hi Simon, on "A peaceful place," it's a very nice photo, but as a student in ecology and naturalist on the side something bothers me about this shot. My instincts tell me the grass is probably not native, and is likely to become invasive and very damaging to the local plants and animals if it starts to expand unchecked. You may want to keep an eye on it and if it's on your land, spray if it keeps expanding each year. Of course, I could be wrong, but it's probably worth checking into. Thanks for reading, Cheers.
Chris

Hi Simon, thanks for the comment of 'Sky King'. I appreciate it.

Hello Simon....Thankyou for your kind comments on (LIGHTHOUSE)....I captured the image at the beginning of the week....Its so nice to go walking around that area but rather cold at this time of the year...Thanks again...All the best ..Mick.

Thanks for your great attitude towards commenting. I guess I feel safe with you (and have for a long time) but, I have a habit of pointing out my nitpicking for what it is nonetheless... ^_^ If I don't hear from you the nearest future, be sure to have a great New Years celebration and may your next year prove to be a good one! :)

Thank you Simon for the goods on "Splash of Dew". Happy belated New Year:-)

hey thanks for your comments and tips on "a classic" much appreciated.

Bee Blossom 2 was a close-up image that turned out well with a little cropping. Thanks Simon for the lovely comments on this image.
Russ

Thanks Simon for commenting on “Blue Diner” The bee had no interest in me and as for the flower I have no idea what kind it is other than blue.

Bob

Thank you for your positive comments and making me feel welcome here.

Howdy from Arizona! I see you have a lot of great bird and butterfly shots so thank you for your nice comment at "This Anna's a Male". For every one of these I get a lot of pix of the S end of N bound hummers! Maybe I'll post one here sometime. I have a couple others here you might also like - "Hummer on a Shell" and "Itchy or Scratchy" (it'll make sense when you see it!). Thank you again .....

Hi, just dropping in to say thank you for stopping by and checking out my work and for the comments. I really appreciate it very much. I just don’t have the time to say thank you to you every time that you do. I hope you understand. I’m sending everyone the same message, however this comes from the heart. Again thank you for your support.

Bee Blossom 2 is a tight crop of an off center image that I took during the Cherry Blossom Festival. This composition seems to work well and I appreciate your support. Thanks Simon for taking the time to view and comment on this image.
Russ

Whatever my Mystery Critter is, he looks interesting. I just wish I could have gotten a better photo before he flew away. Thanks Simon for viewing and commenting on this image.
