Tennie, I'm surprised that your area needs rain. Seems like only a few weeks ago that the news was reporting that there were rain storms quite frequently there. But, time flies, so it might have been last spring or early summer & now all that good rain has evaporated.

Yep, storms all over Florida----except missed us but for a slight drizzle. Had almost half an inch a few days ago which really isn't nearly enough.

However, Spring is arriving a couple of weeks early. Trees are budding and starting to leaf out. Some rain would really get things moving.

BJ, love the colors in your rock photo.

I really like your rock photo.Betty. There is another photo within that photo. A cropping of the plant shadow on the rock can also be an effective image IMO.

Good eye, Chas. I went back and had another look and I agree completely. The shadow and the reflection of the rock in the puddle... a portrait crop would be a neat picture too.

I went for a walk along the river today and knocked off a couple more of my 8. I think I'll get them all this month.

I don't know the art definition of still life... but this stump was very still.

Tennie, Chas & Courtney, thanks for the comments. I love the suggestions for different crops. I will definitely do both.

Courtney. I really like your still life. The calm water and the colors of your rocks image are very nice. The partial is so clever :rotfl

Congratulations on posting all 8 - & to whomever has also accomplished all 8.

Well, with the exception of "your choice", this finishes me...
Rusty

Rusty - good idea for partial!!

Betty, thank you.

Courtney

It's the last day of the month so I'll take the opportunity to post another "streak". This greeted me this AM when I went out to do my bird feeder routine...

Rusty

This may be cheating, but I thought it was a great idea.

My last entry for rock is/are 3 pictures I took off the TV show:



As most of you know, Alcatraz was also known as "The Rock"

Rusty, nice partial moon shot. I had been waiting for a con trail for streak, but I never caught one. Your's is sure bright.

Russ, fun idea for Rock! I've seen it from the SF to Sausalito ferry, but never toured it. There was a 2 week waiting list when I tried several years back. They must be making big tourist bucks from the tours.
