I toss out my hummingbird feed weekly, when it's hot more often, and we don't have your kind of heat!

PS those dunes are amazing. I too would like to know where they are and how hot was it on your run?

Nice photos, Lainey.

Bruneau Dunes State Park - Idaho. I know running on the beach is hard with the sand, so dunes must raise the difficulty factor quite a bit!

Wasn't sure if that was YOUR name or someone you admired. Should have googled Peter Green. Now I must.

Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park in Idaho. It was a 6:30 a.m. start so it was only 54 degrees at the start thank goodness.

Hey Lainey,

In response to your flower critiques - it all depends upon the individual. It’s the same with art...some like Norman Rockwell and others the works of Oscar-Claude Monet or extreme contemporaries like Cleve Gray. I’ve observed that your photography is more of a straight forward with detail being paramount, with mine…an artistic flair is attempted (and sometimes much falls into bokeh). There really is no right or wrong.

Personally, I like the rose photo.

I think Layney is strong on color and composition as well as the mechanics of capturing detail.
Sorry, Lainey...didn't mean to pretend to be a critic. But you know how it goes...Those who can, do. Those who can't critique. I don't know art but I know what I like (and why).

Thanks, all. Comments (honest ones which you do give) are appreciated. It's how one learns. I see pretty things, I like to take pictures of said pretty things. I don't believe I have much of an artistic flair. I count on Mother Nature for that.
