We were very lucky with the weather... it was not supposed to be sunny for another month or two or three... well maybe by June!
Thank you!!!

Wow! This is an excellent series with the lions. You've got just the right light and the texture of the fur is absolutely amazing. I feel as though I could reach out and touch it and it has an almost 3 dimensional quality. I'm impressed, as always.

I use a Panasonic DMC-FZ18... it is a point-and shoot, but a very good one. Some of the features: macro as close as 1 cm., 18x zoom [500mm lens], manual or auto modes, filters, super image stabilization, shutter or aperture priority, Leica lens and lots of others. My wife and I are just learning these cameras and everyday we discover something new! Things have changed so much since the days of 35mm film photography when you had to depend on a GOOD [expensive] color lab that would work with you... now I print out better images at home that I ever could have imagined in the 70's when I had a little photo business and was one of the first color photographers in the Chicago area to break into juried art fairs.
