So far my vote is with Uncle Frank's picture , it would be stunning with an insect on it as well ! Landscapes are usually my thing but I have one miserable looking flower that I took with my old Panasonic a while back , it looks like flowers is a very popular category ...

Sara-
My wife had a double mastectomy in January. Because of the first bout with Hodgkin's and the high dose of radiation they gave her she can't have any more. Plus they know that is what caused this cancer to develop. Her last chemo treatment will be the last Friday of this month. And believe me she is looking forward to that one. Right now it's the what if's that are getting her down. But she is doing better with that also.
And thank you for the comment on the photo.

By the way, that is a great picture.* *

Oh, I hope you are going to throw her a nice "no more chemo" party. How did she do with it? I was amazed with how well my mother-in-law did with the chemo but she is rare with how well she did. She's been done for quite a while and is just now starting though to feel the effects fade. I can unerstand the "what if" factor getting to her, it is a scary situation to be in.

Well, no one seems to like mine and I'm not voting for myself (wouldn't be fair) so I say fotobram, I love that picture!

I think UNcle Franks was a standout, rather than the rest being junk or bad....
