First I need to take the time to say thank you for your comments, not just yesterday, but every day. If I didn’t have dial up, I’d take the time to e-mail you all personally every day. Your kind words (and suggestions on how to improve my images) are most appreciated.
OK, I’ve got a cleaning at the dentist’s today. I have highly sensitive teeth and receding gums, so I dread this visit twice a year. God bless those women, though. They are gentle, and they do this with my son sitting on my lap peering into my mouth most of the time. (Another reason to love a small town.) Wish me luck, can’t wait until it’s over.
As our courthouse green is very small, and the two rows of historic buildings facing each other are very close, the only way to shoot these buildings is with a wide angle lens. I’m working on these images. This day the sky was washed out, so I used a different wide angle lens. My youngest daughter agreed to where it for me while I shot.

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Understanding all of us, and being there for us.
I like this series, it's fun and creative. "Great Lens" gotta love that wide angle!
Good luck at the dentist (I dread that as well).
I've taken pictures of reflections in sunglasses, but never with the same intentions. Very creatively done. Also like the over all color tones in these pictures. They're pleasing to the eye.
Think happy thoughts while you're at the dentist. =)
Can't give you much comfort on the dentist...been there very very few times cuz according to him me teeth are perfect but best of luck anyways...
the shot is fantastic, loving the angle, great reflection...8.25/10
Neat photos I love the bulding in the last photo! Reflections are always interesting to photoraph!Your daughter a great sport supporting moms hobby!
Excellent reflections, love all of these.
Great choice of wide angle "lenses". That's a nice twist! :-) Good luck at the dentist! Tony has a cleaning today, too. Gotta get those teeth nice and shiny and ready for the first day of school!
I love the creative storytelling. The DOF is nice. I love the sharpness of the images in the sunglass lens compared to the very blurry background. Very fun series!
That's some fun pictures. I love playing with reflections.
Innovative approach and fun. Very nice.
Good luck at the dentist. I hate going as well.
Lovely reflections, great series!
These are great Micki. I really like all three of them.
What a lovely way to show your town!
Your Daughter makes for a great model too!
we got 2 in 1 photo here (portrait and landscape)...nice idea to frame the reflection on the sunglass...really nice composition:-)))
btw i have to thank u also to make daily comment and visit my 2 photo blogs..i really appreciated- i love ur sunday quess?(awesome idea)-i never miss it, fun!!!- :-))
This is great! The unique framing and the model make it a fab series.
Much better shots than if they had just been of the buildings by themselves.
Very creative Micki! I like all three! By now you are already home from the dentist. I hope it went okay. I too hate to go:(
is broadband not available in your area??
Seems you even paid attention to the reflection in the sunglasses, something I never would have thought of!
What are we seeing int the eyes of the others ? Fantastic shots to present the historic buildings!
very creative idea Micki!
Ya, I like the profile of your daughter with the reflection on her glasses. That is really interesting. Kinda like viewing life throught the obscure eyes of a teenager. Quite profound really.
Of the three, the final shot is my favorite both in terms of composition and effectiveness of that alternative wide-angle lens :-)
Hope all went smoothly for you at the DMD!
I like the first and third photo. the reflection is nice
Genial image.^.
