Nice! Well exposed too.
Are your knees broken? Get down and shoot from anywhere but eye level ;-p
Again this is another shot you could try your Orton experiments with.
lol, knees are good but my back is killing me after an incident trying to pick up my mother after she fell :eek: (it's been a bad week).Quote:

but I promise to look at different angles and give it a shot (pun intended :rolleyes:) just be patient as I drive you nutty with my attempts :D
As long as you don't mind me throwing in a few little digs (suggestions and pushes) to inspire you then I don't mind being patient :)Quote:

Nice trail and a good capture of it.
Hope your mum is ok too.!!
ya, but what if it's muddy?:rolleyes:
never! how on earth can I get better if I have no feedback? I never mind a nudge or dig or temptation to try something new. I have no pretensions as to my ability. but I do desire to improve and I believe that since joining this forum I have improved (at least marginally) due to the patience and comments that others on this forum have been kind enough to give me.Quote:

lol, I am starting to feel like a group project!
MA: my mom is going to be okay but her aging is going to do me in. She refuses to use a cane but falls much more easily. oh wait, as she says, she 'doesn't fall at all, just sometimes if she loses her balance she can't catch herself' :headslap: after bringing her to my place after a loss of balance in which she broke a rib and wrist she said that she didn't need the walker when getting out of the car and the fell on my lawn. :eek: I survived my kids but may not survive my mother :wall-an:
Mud I don't mind. which is good, living in NS it's hard to avoid.
and I get the idea of impact. I just have to remember in the moment. I will, I promise :o
:) Sounds like you have your hands full!
And you ARE our group project at the moment! ;)

I got #2 yesterday.
Sheesh....800 miles away and he can still make me nuts on occasion...:wall-an:
Combine this with having to get the remainder of my things from the ex's house who sent me a curtly worded email and this was why I was so flipping cranky yesterday and today too!
Sometimes I just want to move to Alaska and get a cabin in the woodswith no phone, no interent, just me a dog and a camera....sigh :yell:
I'll be glad when this week is over with.......:sorry:for the rant, feeling a bit down today is all.
You'd miss me ;)Quote:

lol, it's an honour just to be nominated. I'll try to not let you down.Quote:

But if you do decide to run away to that cabin in the woods, call me. I'll bring the dogs. and the pony. :goodvibes
Thanks for the encouraging words Z...sometimes it's just not as easy to not let the bad things override the good....most of the times it is but the last couple of days the glass seems half-empty where as most of the times it is pretty half-full!Quote:
