Hi Tim, Some really nice flower shots, bright colors and nice lighting. I really enjoyed the water droplets, especially the closeups. I was a little disappointed though because I was thinking they were going to be pictures of the city. I was born in Akron and lived some time as a child in Cincinnati. That reminded me of our theme galleries. Are we going to have any more of those? I wouldn't mind a city theme as in the city we live in. But that would only be one picture each. What if we did a bunch of city pictures, posted them in our sites on a special page and set a date for the final product to be seen by the rest of the group? Say, maybe in 4 to 6 weeks? Everyone could participate. Any thoughts, comments, agree, disagree?

We are blessed here in north east ohio with a beautiful chain of parks that surround the city of cleveland, and the cuyahoga valley national park as well. Tonight I visited Hinkley Reservation and shot the pics that are in the following gallery http://www.w8tah.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=21846 Comments and criticisms are most welcome TIM -- Tim Holmes W8TAH - Amateur Extra Operator Medina County AEC Skywarn Advanced Storm Spotter Certified Certified Severe Weather Specialist StormNet Chase 9
