    The flower petals in the web is a wonderful shot. I really like the solitary gate too. Makes me want to know what it's story is.

    Oh my goodness these are all so beautiful. I feel as if I were there. So, so pretty. I love all the interest...like the petals in the web and the reflection in the puddle. Great set.

    All beautiful. Love the cobwebby ones. The puddle is great. My favorite is the landscape with broken fence in the background and the slant to the clearer portrayed blossoms in the foreground.

    These are outstanding shots. I'm afraid I couldn't pick a favorite, if I had to.

    LOVED the orb weaver! And these pictures look exACTly like springime in the San Joaquin Valley of California. If you had no idea where they had come from you would never be able to tell the difference. Now THAT amazed me.

    The clarity and artistic concept of your photos are amazing. I was stunned by the shack as it reminded me of Belize. Gorgeous with the petals in the web.
