@Dimitrios: Thanks Dimitrios!

Helen from Melbourne, Australia

I agree with Dimitrios. Such close and sharp images! You seem to have moved to a new phase Matt.

@Helen: Thanks Helen! I'm trying to move past the bird-on-a-stick, and duck-on-a-pond shots, and I'm flattered you've noticed.

Oh Matt! The details are gorgeous!! I agree with Helen. I haven't seen any of the redwings yet. Of course, we are still in the throws of an all out spring blizzard which has lasted 5 days... and counting.. January in April how kind of Mother Nature... LOL!!!

@amy: Thanks as always Amy. Here in Portland, we have been twenty degrees (F) colder than average, so you're not alone. Spring skiing should last into June. I'm wearing shorts anyway; if we all live in denial, it's bound to get warmer.
