On our last visit to MVNWR this trip, the sunrise was cloudless. We saw a few night herons in the distance and maybe a heron or the single sandhill crane, but there were almost no birds in long stretches of the waterway. The air was filled with the sounds of small birds, all hidden in the tall...

Great photos and page design. Brings me back to country life in an instant.

These colors and textures are fabulous!

Great APP and page design for your photo. ;)

Love this. I've always felt happy wearing a bright yellow rain jacket. Oz is sure cute in his, and I love the big photo of Cher taking up most of the right page.

This got hard the minute I realized I had to use the slide film stamp fragment a zillion times to make a frame because I needed it to be from Rachel's kit, and no clue how to count it. :D Rachel Jefferies: Soulangeana paper, paintchip, stampfragment, staples, stars, texturedpaint (6) Anna...

On Wednesday there were even fewer birds than on the first two days. We wondered if we'd see anything as we drove toward MVNWR through pea-soup fog. Then suddenly we were out of it and got to enjoy about fifteen minutes of golden sun before it clouded over and got dark.

Wow! Beautiful work.

As soon as I saw this I was looking for the 'Vette. Love it! Great old photos and it's perfect to have the text in small blocks so I can read, look at photos, then read some more. Also love the sign and how it shows you think everything through. ;)

Fan.tas.tic! :cool:

Wonderful fun page. I love the wavy typography and your girl always brings a smile.

Looks great, and I've noted a state change for you. Hmmm. Stay cool. :cool:

Your title work is stunning and this is a wonderful heritage page. I love the lighting.

Thank you so much, Eva. I'm happy to find another magpie lover. ;)

Since the light was so low when we started our walk 20 minutes before sunrise, I decided to try the monopod. I'm pretty sure I got a good photo of the magpie because of the stabilization, and staying far enough away that he didn't suspect I was taking his photo. As I walked a few feet closer, he...

Thanks. It means a lot!

Wonderful and so creative. Love everything about this. ;)
