Photos to share

Wow!  Check out those colors on that 'ginormous grasshopperious'.

Just use your favorite photo editing program to crop part of the bottom. This is a simple feature found on most programs, you don't need Photoshop. A good rule of thumb to start with for proportion/composition is the old Rule of Thirds, so for your pic one third foreground and two thirds background. For some reason, half & half is visually not as appealing, I dunno why.

Thanks for the tip. I have since been cropping all my sunsets and wow...why didn't I think of that. I guess it was too simple a thing.

Hi Danna - Your photographs are amazingly beautiful as always!  Thank you!

I love the black background. Striking, simple, and elegant all at the same time. Great work!

I notice none of the photos have copywrites on them like I am use to seeing on previous posted photos.  How do you keep people from stealing them and calling them theirs?

[Tumblebush]

I just love the way it looks as though you can just reach out and touch those leaves. Like it's 3D. Just beautiful.

Thanks for the comments, they warm my heart.

I usually put copyrights on my shots but actually forgot on these.  They are fairly small though so hopefully no one will steal them.  If someone wants to use on their computer that is fine...    I will see if I can edit the photobucket ones if not I will repost.

Thanks for the reminder Makgirl!

Angelwolf, your pictures are so beautiful that I often use them for my temporary desktop photo.  I can't possibly post about  how much I like every single one, or to anyone else either.  I love them all.  I'm not a photographer, and I don't even know how to clear the memory chip in my little camera, so don't worry, I'm not going to "steal" your photos.  Thanks for all the wonderful pics you post.

Thanks alot.  You are welcome to use them for your desktop.  I can show you how to clear your card sometime.  Let me know and I can come by..  4479

Wow, thanks to Makgirl I figured out that you can add text to photos that you have already posted to photobucket!!!

Oh, they like worms too....Oh wait....that's not a worm!
I found this little guy under a log while while clearing a brush pile one day and thought I had found the largest night crawler alive.
It's called a Rubber Boa.

Thanks Chuck....those grasshoppers were BIG. 

Thimble...how long was that Rubber Boa

[Tumblebush]

He was a baby, at just a little over a foot. 

Thanks Chuck....those grasshoppers were BIG.

My  youngest son and I went up to see one of the two naturally occurring aspen groves in Southern California today.  It's located about 17 miles east of Big Bear on the 38.  I'm still getting the hang of my DSLR, but here are a couple of my shots.
