The picture of the lake is beautiful. Thank you so much for the helpful info.
Now that is a postcard-worthy photo!
That's a gorgeous photo over the lake, so seriously stop apologizing it was taken on a phone. Gorgeous.
Hi, Shannon. I think the picture looks great. Wouldn't have guessed it was taken with a cell phone.
Thanks for the links you shared.
That's a beautiful pic!
Good grief, Shannon! They let you have phones in the cell? Never would of guessed that. Although, I've heard how they sneak the phones into the cell.
Ignore me, Shannon. Great photo! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks again for no mention of some silly blog hop!
Yes, I share that I'm still your biggest adoring fan! How about that, eh........
Gary :)
What a stunning view. And the reflection makes the image doubly beautiful.
Love sunset photos. I love looking at sunsets here where I live, because they make our mountains look incredibly beautiful. :-)
Great photo, and I would've never known that you captured it on a cell phone! Thanks for all of the interesting links. The rejection anthology sounds like it's right up my alley!
