Description
I sit here in amazement that I am sharing my 1000th post with you here on Renderosity.
For those of you who might be curious (obviously I was!), it is my 835th post to the Photography Gallery.
The mind boggles. (Well, okay, MY mind boggles!)
..........
Last weekend when I went to MooseRidge Gardens with Cindy and Ann, we sat and had lunch with Cindy's friend before we walked around the gardens. As we got up from the table, Cindy said, "I can't wait to see what sort of pictures you get from those glass floats over there."
"Glass??" I said, my interest perking up to maximum. I had been sitting with my back to the pool, and didn't even know it was there. This was the first image I shot at MooseRidge, and it's my favorite.
I love the reflection of the clouds, the way the light plays with the glass ball, the surface tension, the FEEL of the thing!
So ... many thanks to Cindy for a wonderful day, for introducing Ann and I to her friend, for the opportunity to see the garden, and for pointing me in the direction of this shot!
Oh, and btw ... MooseRidge is a private home, not a B&B or a restaurant. I believe some of you got the wrong idea when you saw how extensive the place is. We just went and had lunch with Cindy's friend who owns the place and is the genius behind the garden design.
..........
After 1000 images and a little more than 2-1/2 years, I am still happy to be here. Renderosity rocks! I can't tell you how much pleasure it gives me to be a part of this community. Many thanks to all of you for your inspiration and support, and for being a part of my life here!

I LOVE this foto, as you well know. It's my favorite kind of thing--water, reflections and simple beauty (well, yeah, I know I'm over the top occasionally), and you do it to perfection. May you have at least a gazillion more!!

Congrat to have 1000th. You good with pictures and words too. This picture is so peaceful and quite. I keep looking this half dome object and admire a wonderful smooth surface of it. Glass and Tara unseparetable.

Wow!!!! 1000,...and to think I doted over Cheri for hitting the 100 mark yesterday. I should bestow ten times the fawning over this post, you helped give Cheri confidence, and we have met the most wonderful of friends in you! You certainly post some of the most unusual photos, rainbow glass, a section of a saddle, because you don't think we could handle the whole thing, stalking pots, and now this. I feel bad for the hapless pool boys who are so easily tempted with these globes of shiny glass you are using as bait. As always, you've taken something most of us would probably just not even notice, and produce a beautiful, thought invoking piece of art. Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone, for sharing them all with us,...and thank you M'lady, for being you!!

Congratulations, Tara achieves the big One-Oh-Oh-Oh on Renderosity. Unfortunately, it doesn't get any easier on the dedicated ladder to Two-Oh-Oh-Oh.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome. I love the photo. When I seen the thumbnail I thought, why did someone throw a hamster ball in the water. Then I read it was a glass float. Then I seen the name and of coarse a unique and unusual shot. I love your unique shots, they are always so intriguing and we never know if we are going to get the full picture. Keep them coming and I will keep looking and loving them. You are such an amazing person and I am honored to have come to know you.

Yipes! 1000? Awesome -- and congrats! This is a cool shot -- reminds me of Chihuly's work (glass artist, not a photographer).
