Drone Fly - What an amazing photograph of an amazing creature! We don't usually see insects in such detail, but when I find a shot like this, I am always amazed at how many different textures, colors, parts, and pieces make up their "design." And how very well designed they are to do what they do. When I see the details like this, the "ick!" factor goes away (or is subdued), and I am impressed by what interesting creatures they really are - when you take the time and have the opportunity to look carefully. Fascinating! Thank you! ~Sue

Cabin in the Sky - Gorgeous scenery, looks like it's floating! ~Lisa

Quiet Times - Wonderful! ~Sue

Autumn Garden - A perfect time to view this picture. The 1st day of fall 2012. It supports my mood for beautiful fall colors on sunny cool days. Your view of the world around us in central Illinois parallels the vision in my mind's eye of days to come! Beautiful!!! ~Stephe

Drive - I waved at my Mom and Dad, and my sister too, when you flew over Montefiore--and I felt a warm hug from my Bubbe. Thanks for that heartwarming story--and, of course, I knew Wendy would save you. Daughters do that. Happy New Year! ~Irene

Paw Prints on My Heart - Wonderful article! I'm sitting here in tears, remembering Muffin and Trouble who were our "ladies." We were lucky enough to have them for 19 years, and they've been gone for 10, but I still miss them both. But, 19 years is a lot longer than 10 or 11, and now I realize how VERY lucky we were to have them that long. ~Sue
