The most common theme behind flowers? Love them both and everything else.

1. Here are a couple of recent ones

[Celebration]

2. okay

[Mira]

8. Makes me feel like I'm right there with you.

The first one is as sizzling as the last one is sweet. The water begs for a late swim.

[alfredo]

20. Love the first one too.

[Mira]

3. Here's one I brought home from Florida

[Saphire]

4. Mira, those colors are magnificent. What a wonderful photo!

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

9. This is output and frame material!

:)

[Mira]

10. I blush. thanks. but you know what...

I have better ones.
In Florida, where I was, in the Keys, at 8:15 pm or so, all you need to do is lift your camera and push. Anybody can do it.

I have a series of a sunset I shot in Sarasota at the beach, where the vendor who sits in the sand and sells little paintings said:
"I've never, in over 400 nights here, seen a more spectacular sunset."
I'm waiting for a contest about "sunsets".
LOL
Actually I'm pretty sure I posted one or two of that evening here once. But you all were too proud of me to speak, as Shel Silverstein would say.
So I'll wait.

18. Just gotta love..

those tropical sunsets. This one is gorgeous.

[Saphire]

5. Marfa, Texas

[Mira]

7. OHHHHHH - since everything in Texas is exra large,

would that be called a "Burning Bush?"

This is spectacular, and highly unusual looking. I'm glad there is the second tree, and also the hint of the side of the road.
Really HOT.

6. Here's one from Everett, WA

It could use some editing but I don't have the time.........

[alfredo]

11. mine

used the sunset setting on my Canon G10, a tripod, and a minimum of post processing (curves and saturation).

[trusty elf]

12. Mine seems rather ordinary compared to some of these,

but I don't have anything else.

[alfredo]

13. The foreground makes the image.

[Mira]

23. It's a commercial for the color Blood Red.

How does one make the jaw dropping smiley
:jawdrop:

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

14. Here's one from tonight

Equinox and all that, doncha know........... :bounce:

[Mira]

15. A fitting and breathtaking addition to so many I can't comment on all of them.

this has turned into a spectacular thread as I scroll through the additions.

[Richard D]

16. Just so happens . . .

After the last few days I was hoping to find something like this here. Aloha!

[Mira]

17. It is so nice to see you - it's been a while. And

with what you brought for presents it's just like an early Christmas.
Phenomenal additions.
(have you been South of the Border(s) lately?)

[Richard D]

21. Thank you!

This year's trip to Peru was not particularly inspiring. One of those "what was I thinking" trips where nearly everything went wrong. So gratefully I was given an opportunity for a low-budget R &R trip to Kauai. I'm loving this place.

[MattSh]

19. Summer Sunset

10 image stitched panorama, (probably could have done it in 5 images) and HDR.

[Ptah]

22. Here's one from a couple of years ago

[Mira]

26. It's spectacular! n/t

[JeffR]

24. Y'all are killing me with these images.

Each one of them is special and glorious. Well done, everyone! And thanks, Gamey, for this thread. It does the soul good.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

25. Another Everett Sunset

This was different than most, the cloud shapes were very cool

[Mira]

27. I'm running out of superlatives.

I'm smiling and wondering what would GD do voting on these, probably self-destruct in frustration.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Here you go:

[Itchinjim]

29. Three from the past:

Winter Solstice 2007

Skye Bridge 2004

Miami 2008

30. Saturday's Sunset

[DisgustipatedinCA]

31. One from last Saturday, another from May

Yosemite Valley from the "Tunnel View", September 18, 2010



Farm outside Santa Rosa, CA, May 11, 2010

[Mira]

32. OMG - the first one reminds me of the moment

someone taught me the phrase "Is you cussin' me?"
Well, that's what popped into my mind. And it is all so very very good.
Not only do I envy your ability to take such a wonderful photo, but I envy that YOU ARE THERE.

I am, gracias a Dios, a person who is not given to envy as a rule. But when it comes to being in the West, all I wish for is to be younger.
Then I would pull up roots and go to the places that call me all the time....in a heartbeat.

Too much information.
I shut up now.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

33. Thanks, Mira.

I've lived away from the west coast, but it's home to me, and I hope to stay for good this time around. I try to never forget how fortunate I am to live near Yosemite, and some other west coast features.

By the way, I love the shots of your house, i.e., "the set".

Thanks, Mira.

34. Let's make a deal.

Firstly, thanks for your kind comments.
I post this stuff with inferior photos but from overwhelming excitement. And from your acceptance and feedback I find there is room for it.

The deal is, if ever you need a place to hang your hat and explore this East side, I have guest rooms now that I no longer rent them. Roots without obligation.
And I without shame look for places to hang my hat and park my head while I explore the West, and its karmic roots I can't explain.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

35. it's a deal

If you ever find yourself wanting to visit the Sonoma | Napa wine country, or San Francisco, or the Mendocino coast, we have a place for you. Seriously. Just let me know. And thank you.

[Mira]

36. Yeah! Thank you. Who knows what the future brings.

The best travel is when you travel with natives of the area you are visiting.

[hippywife]

37. There are some really gorgeous

photos in this thread. Great idea. :hi:
