What a lovely scene! I like the depth of this image and even better is the warm glow of the evening light. You have done a fine job in both the capture and editing, Patti. There are so many ways this could be presented. I like your choices a lot.Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010
Thank you, Steve...that means a lot :)Patti #8385125

Wow! This is a cool capture! ... or should I say, warm! Beautiful colour tones and reflections! Fabulous work, Patricia! Is that a Witch's Cauldron by any chance? Ha! Ha! :) #8385196Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010
It is, Lorna!!! Come on down :)Thanks! Patti #8385200

Of course it is...that's where all of my designer shoes come from!! #8385217Lorna Shutter February 15, 2010
You mean the black ones with the buckles and the curled pointy toes? :D #8385242Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010
No No...but if that's what you want I think we could whip some up :) Mine are Italian strappy things! #8385252Steve M. Harrington February 15, 2010

LOL, Michelle! I learned a new word today ... "aplomb"!
