Snowqueen - no, they're very alike, but there's nearly two years between them.

Haven't checked in for some time. Mark, your girls look wonderful !!
Let's call this "Scans Taken by You"
I'll borrow this thread to send out my 104 year old happy Easter message. Something from my stamp / postcard collection:
O, so beautiful! if only I have a girl !
Sitting in the garden, I noticed this cloud formation and thought it might make an unusual picture.

Went to South Cornwall the previous week and stayed on Goonhilly Downs. Absoulutely beautiful place:

Aha, so you do get sun. Unusual is right and interesting composition with the plants in the foreground.
It is beautiful based on what you have shared. Thanks

Thank's Gilliatt, I have been somewhat removed from the photography front recently, but now I've found some extra time to look at what my camera (actually it's really a computer with a lens attached) can do. Despite, or perhaps because of the wizardry, there is an element of charlatanry ( which is the curse of our age) that enables us to gerrymander our photos rather than rely on our individual skill to get acceptable results. So that taking pictures becomes secondary to getting a shot that can be altered according to requirements. The picture I have posted was taken with the camera set at Auto against some budding rose bushes, whereas in the past, I would have had to arrange the settings for myself.

You are preaching to the choir. I gain more satisfaction out of a photograph that was composed prior to snapping the shutter. I have toyed with the digital filters, but even then I feel some guilt to the point that I attach the old manual lenses so I can use the physical screw on filters.
