The last couple of days when I've gone to make comments on other photos, I found that many were in large format, all in a row -- and I didn't see a way to leave a comment.  Are a lot of you changing the format of your galleries?  Is it a smugmug thing?  Is there a trick to leaving comments when the galleries are in that format?  Am I missing something? ....  which is entirely possible.   :-)

This is another shot from Tuesday night, but I was still working on it last night. The guy was walking his dog, and I suddenly realised that he was going to go through the glare from the floodlights. I was disappointed with the original, because I didn't have chance to set it up properly and there was some camera shake. I decided to go with an artistic feel rather than a natural one and I hope this works. I used the watercolour filter in Elements on top of a B&W conversion and a simple frame.

Thanks for the wonderful comments on yesterday's Cathedral shot, it is one of my favourite views and I never tire of it. This was taken at the opposite end of the Cathedral, where the lawns and trees create a very different atmosphere.

Maeve was grabbing for the bunny, so we had to move it out of her reach -- then she was reaching for me -- and then she finally noticed the grass and almost tumbled out of her basket trying to get it.  Looks like she's learning things from her cousin Johnny.  :-)

And I have to mention her adorable bunny hat.  Maeve's other grandma has been crocheting hats for her since before she was born, so for Maeve's very first Easter grandma made a special one with bunny ears!  (April 3, 2009)

Cold and blustery today and I needed a fix of spring.
We went out to dinner and behind the restaurant was this gorgeous view! (October 22, 2009)
