WOW - they are all beautiful! Well done.
Well done. Original and colorful.
Welcome from a fellow Michigander!
Nancy - I am 5' tall and use a Canon 60D also. Years ago I found it works well to have the tall people sit and the short ones stand behind them if it is a large crowd. And they love it! If necessary - I always try and put the people where they are most comfortable - be it on a horse or on the grass. Do what is comfortable for you and them. Their level (pet or children) always seem to be best at their level. And don't forget to enjoy what you are doing!
A friend of mine wrote a more appropriate response - from the other side of the pond - a little different point of view I think you might enjoy:

As a veteran all I can say is - Sometimes errors are made by the powers that be, such as whether or not the said information deserves to be on the fiction list vs non-fiction. A common occurrence when writers actually believe their own work to be the truth. How many fictitious works have been labeled non-fiction. Nuff said. You believe what you want to believe - by whom ever you want to believe - but don't you dare - tell me what I should believe. Cheryl Colley USAF
