Thanks everyone! This is only the first iris bloom so far. It is 80 degrees out right now. Kind of windy, but feels great. Carolyn, you can come anytime! :) Everything is starting to bud out. I have a few redbud blooms, the bluebonnets are really starting to kick in.Cathy Barrows March 12, 2006

Jill and Diana, thank you so much. I go from filter to filter choosing which is my favorite. Right now the Mr. Contrast filter from Flaming Pear is my favorite. All my images for the last couple of days were using it in one way or another. #2531712Sylvia Rossler April 25, 2006

Thanks so much everyone. I find more and more that although I enjoy taking and composing the pictures my real love lies in the post processing and manipulation of the image. Thanks for allowing me the pleasure of doing that. #2694489Noel Baebler April 26, 2006
