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!
