Hey Friends....
Just to let you know I'll be "missing in action" here on PB for a few weeks due to a full schedule of out of town trips, family time, projects, house guests, etc. I'll be thinking of you all and catching shots to share when I get back. Enjoy spring turning to summer....it's a great time of the year! Happy shooting, my friends!!!

wtf? then you need to get that iPhone asap so you don't have to be MIA. Super good shots. I love that you got dirty. God, I'm such a little kid whenever I go out shooting. I'm always in creeks and crawling around on my belly. Whenever I go before work and I'm not on my bicycle I have to bring a change of clothes :P Have fun on all your trips and with your guests, etc. Maybe I'll come to Colorado this summer... who knows. ????? · 2012-05-14: 09:06

Looking at these lovely shots I can feel the intensity of the pleasure you had in taking them. What a lovely way to spend time. Carpe diem indeed! Have a great time, I'm looking forward to your return already. SADHYA · 2012-05-14: 09:16

Great shots and I know the feeling. Ken and I went to snap a river real quick?? I lost a lens cap filled one boot up with mud the other with water nearly fell in the river and sprained a finger all in 10 minutes! Enjoy your summer!! SheriJ · 2012-05-14: 10:58

These are beautiful. Have fun while you are MIA and I look forward to lots of shares when you return, :) Love the Dandelions! God's gift to a child. The only flower they can pick from any yard and the old crab living there will not say a word. :) karmankwarner · 2012-05-14: 11:16
