              :lunapic 130165696578242 5: Well, it's just that I genuinely like and enjoy photography in all it's aspects and it always amazes me if some one likes something I've done. I just do it for the pleasure of creating something I can't draw or paint, but not to show off and say "look what I can do". I'm one of the those who can't sing, dance or whistle and maybe holding a camera gives me some sort of things I can do!:dunno::snork:

                We all have a talent hidden somewhere Armandii and yours is very obviously behind a lens. Great pictures! :dbgrtmb:

                      Thanks, Sheal, al, loli, fern, mowgley, HsuH for disagreeing with me:heehee:
                      I'm afraid it's true, loli:snork: I've always been "jealous" of those who can draw, paint or play any instrument as I have no ability in those areas whatsoever. While I was out in Cuba last year I met a guy who could sing like Frank Sinatra and could pick up any instrument and play it:biggrin: :gaah::snork:
                      Anyway, enough of that!!, here's a friend of mine I found in the Green House and who sat on the tip of my finger while I walked around the garden and then let me take some pics of him.

                        If you turned your pictures into a calender I'd buy it. It's quite fun making your own!

                          :ideaIPB:Thanks, al, that's an interesting idea to say the least.:thumbsup::snork: I'm coming out of retirement for a 3 day week for around the next year so I might be getting short of time but I might just make one and be brave enough to send it, free gratis, to those who might want one.:dunno::snork:. Like I said I do it for the pure pleasure of holding a camera [and usually an old second hand lens] in my hand and wandering around trying to get a good shot of something and it's a nice surprise that someone might like the result of that.:snork:
