But, I'm not sure if he was home at the time. Lotta help that is, right? LOL Maine is about as far north as you can get. I'd think you'd do well in Maine. Tell you what. I'll ask Bob (the friend, not the spider) what the colors are like in NH and come back to tell you when he responds. Hopefully, that tropical storm didn't blow all the leaves away (I know -- I'm so positive, LOL).Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-91641823013745294872008-09-29T22:39:00.000-05:002008-09-29T22:39:00.000-05:00??? :) We have a plane ticket (in and out of Man...??? :) We have a plane ticket (in and out of Manchester) and a rental car.

The only really terrific class I've ever taken was a black-and-white/darkroom class that I took while we were living in Ann Arbor. Locally, I went to a workshop taught by Stephen Kirkpatrick (a Mississippi nature photographer who has quite a few published photography books). He's a terrific speaker, but it was just a sit-down workshop without any practical application, unfortunately.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-5482126062804371452008-09-29T16:20:00.000-05:002008-09-29T16:20:00.000-05:00Your photography is always so beautiful--I love th...Your photography is always so beautiful--I love the technique that you used for this flower.

And, then, I thought "Paperback release!" Hahaha. It's kind of a sneaky way to add the book, but it works. <BR/><BR/>I peeked at your list. I'm pretty sure Yellowknife is on my wish list, but I'll have to check. Wild that it took 6 months to get to you!!<BR/><BR/>Chris,<BR/><BR/>Thank you. :)<BR/><BR/>Icedream,<BR/><BR/>It took me a while to get into The Sugar Queen, but once I got going I really enjoyed it -- except for the overeating, which did kind of turn my stomach (probably why I didn't like the beginning). If I had to compare the two, I'd say I liked Garden Spells better because of the crazy apple tree, but I thought that the author's technical skills improved with her second release. <BR/><BR/>Jenclair,<BR/><BR/>It's very difficult. Usually, when I write those lists I change my mind, two days later. I'm not flipping through my calendar, again, because I don't want to change anything!<BR/><BR/>Thanks.

I'd hoped to get out to take more spider lily photos, but then The Misery struck me down. I wish those lilies lasted longer!<BR/><BR/>Ladytink,<BR/><BR/>Aren't they pretty? I'd never seen a spider lily till I moved to Mississippi. <BR/><BR/>Susan,<BR/><BR/>I usually tend to read older books because I rebel against reading what everyone else is reading.
