Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

"Perfect Peace"

My last entry...

I shot this trumpeter swan in Wyoming a few years ago with the same camera, Canon EOS 20D.  I softened this photo and used a vignette effect in Photoshop CS2.  I love it because the swan doesn't seem to have a care in the world.  A picture of perfect peace.

I'm not sure if this challenge is still open for entries, but if not, just delete this, my fourth and final one. Thank you.

Taken late last summer with my Canon S3 IS while visiting my mother in my home town in Wi. This same underground spring has been gushing forth from that pipe in that local park since I was a child in the 1950's. (Ok, they've probably had to replace the pipe once or twice since then?)  What sweet memories it recalls! :)
It also reminds me of Jn. 7:38

This was taken with a Cannon s5Is about ten minutes ago. I haven't done anything to it.

There were soooo many great photos in this one.  I think Pat needs to pay us for judging this one.  ;)

This was my first time to enter any kind of challange (contest). I must say it was a lot of fun and a challange to compete with professionals. I can hardly wiat for the next challange.

I would appreciate some feedback on how I can improve my photography, so I would like to hear from the members on how to do so.

Thanks,

This is cool, when do I get my winner's check?  ;D

But seriously, thanks to everyone. This photo has special meaning for me, and I'm always humbled to find others like it too.

I think I have a really good idea for the next challenge.

Let me know what I need to do to announce it.

Thanks to all, and as always, Blessings to all!
