LostHawaiian: Fireworks is excellent!! My attention is split between that and the last one. Nice to see you posting again.

Creative simon: I appreciate your compliments. Butterflies and birds are a challenge. They never sit still. Butterflies if they do sit usually fold their wings up and so you can’t see the wonderful colors. Both are a challenge. I got my best pictures at the butterfly and bird conservatory in Key West. It was beautiful. Yes I realize that you are easily influenced by Jennifer—it’s hard not to. Friday night reminds me of several things—it could be a light or it looks like one of the long gone Queens with a crown—I’ll stop there.

RiverNan: Nice to see you back. I hope you had as much fun on vacation as we did. I think William crawled down on his back and shot a corpse of trees straight up. I, of course, envy that as the good old arthritis says no to this type of position. Of course anyone who can slide down the river bank and still have here camera should be able to do it also. There are some wonderful possibilities shooting vertical. You have now made the entry into the egghead society—congratulations.

William: I appreciate all your commenting. You come up with the most amazing images from normal everyday things. Fresh meet the minds is well done.

Cyan: Thanks for the compliments! I agree with you on number 4—there are a lot of eyes in it. It’s definitely worth waiting for you to post. The explosion of color is unique and very attractive.

Country’s Mama: Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

JoeV: Welcome to the Special Effects Challenge. We hope you enjoyed your stop and will visit us again. As you can see, we have a lot of fun coming up with different types of image.

Clicker2014: Thanks for commenting. Am I right in the assumption that the tournaments are curling?

LostHawaiian: I’ll give you full credit for coming by and making a quick comment. Enjoy your rest and maybe we’ll see some more great art tomorrow.

JENNIFER: You’re beginning to sound like yourself again. Your comments and artwork certainly indicate that. Spinner is beautiful. Thanks for all the comments

Pgl: We had sunshine today also. I even got out in the yard and pruned some rose bushes. The dragonfly post is beautiful. I like the color combinations. They are a challenge to shoot as they don’t sit still for long. Thanks for the compliments and comments. Orange Glow is unique and very interesting. The center reminds me of a big catfish coming out from underneath a root.

LILY MARLENE: Nice to see you stopping by and commenting. I’ve missed you.

Congratulations to all—we now are in edition #8. Admin caught up with us early this time.
