Ed: A pretty marvelous collection. I especially like the fog and cloud images. The atmospherics really lend a lot to the images. Your love for your region is apparent. Most excellent.>=))>

A beautiful collection of images. Living in the same region as you, these are the kind of photos I often aim for, but don’t often get. I’m not sure I could pick a favorite. I like them all

Ed, this is an excellent collection. I do remember several of them, but some look new (at least to me… :wink:). The color shifts bottom to top in the second shot are wonderful. The lions head in the stream is a great find. The cherry blossom view is a fine mix of real and abstract. I also enjoy the collection of colors and shapes in the collection of leaves.

These are beautiful landscapes, Ed. What strikes me is the sense of place in these images. I like your use of fog and water in so many of these.

Nice to see some of these again; I can see why they were your favorites. You live in such a great place for fall images, and the others from different seasons look great as well. Happy Holidays!

Ed, a truly wonderful collection here. I really enjoyed the first water and rock scene when you originally posted it and find it holds that same strong appeal for me.
Of course all the foliage scenes are enviable for us desert rats. Also, the closeup of the fallen leaves and foliage is another fine image as it’s presented.

Great collection, Ed. Hard to pick any favorites.
