These pictures are gorgeous, Kat. It's amazing how you captured all the colors. I just want to roll around in that field. :)

I think there were 2 pictures in the whole original group I took that had people in them. Not sure you'd want to roll around out there, though. I kept having to sidestep fertilizer the coyotes left ;p

Unless I can totally tell on my camera that an image is out of focus badly I generally do not delete pics off it until I get them home and downloaded to the puter and can see them full sized.

*nods* me, either, usually (except this one time i don't like to talk about where I accidentally deleted some 600 pics) but, usually, when I go home expecting to be disappointed, I am, so this was a great surprise :D
