Thank You,
I'm just learning to get around this web sight I didn't even know there were postings here too!
Yes unfortunately my hummers are gone now, we leave the feeders up for awhile incase theres a slow poke that needs a refill. If we had them all year round we would take them for granted, indeed.
Thanks Steve for the comments on my Cades Cove Sunbeam photo. This was originally in color but the colors went weird in the darker areas so I converted it to B&W. I was trying to capture the mood of the scene. I'm glad that you liked it.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your compliments on "Mercy Angel." I hadn't thought of a Phoenix until you suggested it, but it would certainly work with that image.
...and thanks also for your comment on "Great Grey". These particular owls normally look startled, but this one just seemed to be interested in what I was doing :-)
Hi Steve, and thank you for your detailed discription of "Autumn Pink"! You helped me to view it from another angle! I really did love the colors etc. Marilyn
Thanks for your comments on "local color". The river rock was not planned, in fact, I never noticed it until you pointed it out. Thanks for the good eye on my work.
