Very nice, Roger!

I should have realized these were Chihuly in 2. Very nice.

Good for you! I'm glad to know this. It really irritates me when they rename or name some thing wrong. They tried to do that to some historic property in our family. Our family owned it from 1852 to 2000. The business was operated by my ancestors until my grandfather sold the business to a local man in 1962 who then changed the name and rented the property from our family until about 1985. I sold the 1/4 block with two historic properties in 2000 to the local millionaire who restored them. They wanted to name the property after the guy who bought my grandfathers business who never even owned the property. They have done this with several properties, we need locals on this board. Anyway...the government or anyone else should not be able to do this because there are important and historical reasons property, etc, are named as they are and shouldn't be forgotten!

Very artistic!

Gorgeous, Erv! Great detail in the petals of the hibiscus. The purple petunia, same, beautiful

Very nice! Beautiful bird.

Nice photos. Very creative! I really like 3 also.

Thanks for the tip!

Enchanting! Love the carousel! Super memories. My grandfather loved them also. They put one in our mall many years ago. My grandfather was in his 80's and we rode the carousel. Happiness wouldn't begin to describe how much it meant to him. Thanks for posting!

Beautiful, Erv! I'll keep trying!

Very nice! The first one would make a great poster. The second is really heart touching. I love to see mothers/parents teaching their children. Very special moment.

Went back up to Martinsville and took copies of the photos to Bob. I thought he was going to cry. He was so appreciative and couldn't believe how great his tomatoes looked. He had some stripes, which are still non acidic but are a yellow with red strips and turn into a blush. They are sweet and very flavorful. He gave me some of those. Really sweet man. These are the times when photography has such great, deep rewards.

I just did my first run through of this week's challenge, narrowed it down to about 50... Going back to look again. There are some wonderful, beautiful, creative, imaginative, striking works of art. Don't deny yourself this stroll through our gallery and your opportunity to make a difference in this forum. You will encourage and inspire the artists that you vote for. Don't forget to PM them after the results to let them know why you voted or even just liked their photograph. Thanks all and have a super photographic week! Get out there and shoot!
