So I have had the chance to work on a few more pics. Let's kick off Topiary Tuesday. These were out ahead of Flower and Garden.



The donkey and cart are not a topiary, just a cute picture.

Beautiful photography....not sure what you do for a living, but if not photography, you need to plan for a second career

I work in a warehouse, moving waterheaters etc.

Nice pictures (again, as always) Chris, but I have to say that Snow White looks a bit too freaky for me.

First is equipment. Second is getting away from the auto setting. I am still working on improving my composition.

Apologize if this was asked before but what camera do you use? I'm looking for a new camera.

No need to apologize, I have a Canon 6D that I shot during this trip.

Wow! Have certainly enjoyed your pics! Dh was a professional photographer just out of high school (shot all school events also). Used to do weddings too, but got tired of the hours, and the 'Bridezillows'!!

After we married, it has all mostly been a great hobby - sometimes accommodates friends/relatives. He also prints, mats and frames. He also prefers Canon with the interchangeable lenses. Me, I just 'play' with my Canon Auto - many $$$'s cheaper, that I'm not afraid to touch!

Keep bringing on the photos - love the 'post card' lighting 'tweaks'.

North of Mouse, thank you very much. I have never been more than a hobbyist when it comes to photography. Entered a contest once and didn't do so well. So i do it for me, if i get one good shot i can print per trip i am happy.

Ah, but here is the key. "Good" is all in the perception of the viewer.

Some of our "Bad" shots are actually worthy of printing too, because for us, they are the memories.

Regardless whether you get the "Million Dollar Shot" or the 2 cent one, enjoy them all and thanks for sharing them.
