Some very, very nice stuff here. Lovely flower shots, and I like the mill.

I especially like the water droplets on the lily pads, nice composition and 
detail and pleasingly simple. (But there is a little tiny blue thing, that 
looks like a section of slender blue straw on one of the pads, I'd clone that 
out.)

Nit picky old me. :-)

Good, good stuff.

Marnie -

Thanks for those kind words.  I never noticed the blue thing until you 
pointed it out - now it sticks out like a sore thumb.  I'll have to work 
on getting rid of it.

I seem to have a talent for spotting blue things which then drive the 
photographer crazy because that is now all he/she can see.

Bit strange. :-)  Just doing my bit to make PDMLers' life better.

Hehehehe.

Nice shots Paul.  I'm a sucker for those early landscapes and flowers/plants.

Thanks, Bob.  Me, too - the variegated colors in the tulips was hard to

I enjoyed these. I like Boston at Night. I like some of the tulip pics. 
What you call Monarda, we call Bee Balm. That shot is a little too 
bright, and lacking saturation. I would frame it tighter as well.  The 
cemetery and health world shots are well executed. Thanks for sharing.

My favs:

HealthWorld - I like the beehive like view...

The Ridge - probably because I live elsewhere

Sweet Harvest - because I like apples :-)

Freedom of Speech - we have cars like this at home

The weakest few:

Needles and Drops - I find it empty

Emerging Maple Leaf - you should've allowed for a bit of more space on 
the bottom


Tulips 3 - no whole flowers in the frame

Fall Prairie - straighten the horizon, will you please ;-)

Well, just few pics out of 26 and just a few words to add...
