(So sorry S Duff Bay B Byrd, I couldn't post anymore images. It was wearing me out.)

    What fun here. Some wonderful images, some whimsical, some wild. You've taken us all over the planet and back again and the sense conveyed is that of a riotous garden springing madly to life.

    Is that tree really called Rhino Tree?
    Or you just made it up?!
    That tree is so horny.
    Guess it's in season! Ha ha...

    So many wonderful shots!

    What a bunch of great eclectic stuff. I guess my favorites were the signs (especially the Fearless Fosdick ~ I know, it shows my age, dammit!) and the beauty queen (It probably looks like me in a tiara ~ BTW, those are character lines, not wrinkles!).

    Thank for this impressive stream of gorgeous colors and shapes. I like the randomness of the choice and the absolute variety of these excellent images.

    Excellent compositions in color, shape, texture and content. I would say that using an abstract language for framing these wonderful works that the environment offers, showing what your eye sees personal and creative. As stated by Ginnie, each worth in itself, has its own personality and should be commenting at a time.

    I've said it before, but it deserves to be repeated. You have a amazing eye for details, and it really shows in the collage. They are all greate but I really love the Blue Marlin, the fish net and the swimming pool.
