Went down to my local nearby brook to try a new shot for "down by the river"

[Mira]

It's an all but dried up place at the moment. I deleted all but this one shot:



What do you think I captured here?

[CurtEastPoint]

1. A little magic, I think!

I took one once like that... a single leaf caught in a near-invisible spider silk string. Lovely!

2. +1

"a little magic" that elusive something we all try to capture

[Mira]

4. I enjoyed seeing that it worked out. Thanks. n/t

It is my birthday today, and the best present I got was Limbaugh getting kicked out of Philadelphia's radio station. But I also liked the little leaf just hanging there...

[Celebration]

6. Happy Birthday!

Wonderful photo!

[Mira]

7. Thank you. Twice :) n/t

[Mira]

3. Exactly.

You nailed it. Thanks for responding, and thanks for liking it.

10. Great photography

I just found your posts,Mira..I am new and slowly finding my
way around DU...I see I have missed a treasure trove of your
photography!

I hope you had a great birthday!

[Mira]

11. Thanks a lot Dalai_1

12. A wonderful shot

[Mira]

13. Thanks,

I'm glad you are posting in the photography group these days. I'm enjoying your work.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Thanks. River

May go get sme shots of the San Diego river.

18. Your entry is just wonderful, I just saw it. A worthy first one.

It's too big though. I would ordinarily wait for the host to notice, but he is in Paris at the moment, whereas I sit in my hot kitchen, so you can get a jump on switching it out.
The longest side can only be 800 megapixels. In photobucket this is a relatively easy change to make.

19. In my computer it is easy to do

I might have to post instructions one of these days how to resize in preview on the MAC...

(These days I even have software that can sort of do it on the IPAD)

15. That shot

was worth keeping. I love photographs that capture the rare and the special.

[Mira]

16. Thanks, Mz Pip. It means a lot to get your praise.

Refresh my memory: Are you the person in charge of "Summer"?
Is it coming up soon, I'm sweltering, and can't get any hotter

[Mz Pip]

17. Sept 1

I was in charge of Winter, but that has come and gone for sure, so we decided to just wait on the seasonals and skip to summer starting Sept 1..

It's 63 degrees here today. Perfect for me.

I'm taking the train to Chicago tomorrow where it is in the 90s. I am not amused. I do not do heat well at all.
