Thank you, Yvonne Aleman.

Nicely done. As I tagged along it was obvious the clouds and cold weather would play hell on the chances for good photos.

Cold, yes (no bikinis). Clouds, no.

Great job, regardless.

Praise from a gracious pro, no less. Nice. (But there were plenty of clouds in some of the images I saw.)

Thanks. I meant that other than blocking the warm sunlight, clouds don't need to be a negative.
They do dull the colors and create unwanted shadows, but they also even out the light and in some cases can become an integral part of the image.

From the shots in the slideshow it didn't look like she had any problems. (saturation slider to the rescue! )

I defer to the sage. I can pick and edit photos, but when it comes to taking them I have (quite intentionally) chosen to suck. Writing well is hard enough.

Very cool.

smile Cash Bar!! lol

Yvonne informed me that the stuffed animal primate I labeled in a caption as a "gorilla" is, in fact, an orangutan. The caption has been corrected ... gotta keep your apes straight, right?

And Greg can smile. He just don't choose to all the time.

if I had Yvonne hangin off my arm you wouldn't b able to wipe the smile off my face with a Mack truck....lol
