    Thank you both for your kind comments. That photo was taken with my Galaxy S6 which, any day now, will be replaced by a Galaxy S7, which is supposed to have an even better camera. I think they sacrificed some megapixels for better low light quality, but I have heard rave reviews of it. As I've said, I know essentially nothing about photography, but I'm finding it intriguing.

    I like your picture, Tyrion. I think it's a little too centered and symmetrical to be interesting. It is what it is and not anything more. It does give new meaning to the term earbuds. And they do look like tiny horns, maybe on a baby satan.

    Love, love, love your "curved horizon" pic and the one of the little girl. Actually two of your best, so far, Tony.

    Nice shots, Tyrion. I've photographed similar buds, too.

    I like the contrast stem x buds, spring growing out of winter, the old grey stem exploding in a double feast of colours!

    It was just my opinion, NorthStar.No right or wrong to it. I like a kaleidoscopic pattern as much as the next guy.

    Beautiful pic, Tyrion. You are to be envied for your back porch view. I love the white on white colors-and the asymmetrical trees in the corner.

    Of course. I think you took my reply as rather more serious than it was.

    That's lovely view from your yard, Tyrion.

    How did you get this symmetrical picture, North Star?

    Yes, that is nice. The vertical lines of the porch railings speckled with falling snow add interest to the picture.

    qimissung, that was the most not-a-compliment I've received or seen here on LitNet. I'm not aware of people speaking to each other like that here. Reminds me of something I think I heard one, something like "If you don't have something nice to say..."?

    Thank you. It's actually my front deck, and I'm going to post more from that vantage.

    Another winter shot, dusk I think, of the view from the front, or part of it:
