An awesome bunch if I ever saw any!

Thank you for putting so much time and thought and effort into them.

courage to participate.
Thanks also to GD - your enthusiastic response and your votes are very much appreciated by us camera toters. Other than our own fun interactions and the learning we do every month in the Photography Forum, you are what keeps us bringing our photos to you.

Congrats to everyone who participated!

It was a nice thing to see on my birthday, to be in the top ten with such incredible pics. I have never got into the top ten. That was wicked cool!

BTW...the baby robins have fledged and are now running around the backyard (they still can't fly real well).

I love to see the pictures that our talented DUers take! Truly lovely!
