Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

 "Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished  there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again."
 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

Yep, thats always going to be a dramatic shot, and you were definetely in the right place at the right time for this one. Although I'm a rendering fan, I also do a bit of photography and I'd have been very pleased to have achieved a shot like this one! I particularly like the way that the centre of the image has not been "burned out" by by the sun - important in an image of this kind.
