DailyPhotos > popular today > At some point in the future, I plan to buy a nice macro lens.  Until then, I will have to settle for close-up filters.  This is just a picture of a knot in a rope.  I had fun playing with the close-up filters but didn’t exactly come up with anything stunning.

I appreciate all of the encouragement from the group the last few days.  My issues with my photographs are influenced a lot by my mood away from the camera.  I apologize for bringing some of that baggage over here, for better or worse the daily photographs end up being a photo blog of sorts.  It is a nice way to record the year and life creeping into the mix is inevitable.  Lately I haven’t been able to contribute as much as I’d like to the community in terms of commenting on your images.  Hopefully this week will be better for me in terms of time to look at the other galleries.

DailyPhotos > popular today > Day 193 - Happy Mothers Day. I had a wonderful time visiting my mother today.  I got to do all kinds of fun things outside to help my mom celebrate.

My sister and mom are still fostering cats and kittens for njcattitude.org.  They are caring for 9 kittens and 3 cats, in addition to all of their own.  Seems almost like a cat-hoarders apprentice  program to me. :)

They are extremely cute and sweet, though.  I posted a bunch of shots in my cattitude gallery for those who can't seem get enough of cat and kitten pictures.

This is a shot from a garden in my neighborhood.  I was attracted by the combination of Dandylions and Tulips.

DailyPhotos > popular today > May 11, 2008  Happy Mother's Day

I spent my Mother's day hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.  When I saw this sign, I realized that both Dave and I are very far away from our moms who are both in Florida at sea level.  Wish we were all on the same elevation! 
Love you both!  Happy Mother's Day!
