Great to see this, Buzz. We will see you in DC

Outstanding photos! Would you mind telling me what software do you use for the color/black & white photos?

I'll add a story about the Crystal Springs Park photos. I heard from one of Buzz's family members that he would be in town for a week or two before Christmas and taking some photos. I suggested the area around the Crystal Springs Path in the Middlesex Fells Reservation, adding that I would love to have a photo for my husband who hikes there several times a week typically. I imagined an art photo of rocks or mushrooms. Buzz discovered the area looking over Spot Pond and tried for several days to get the right quality of light. The results were breathtaking. Several photos are realistic and detailed and some are surreal; the setting sun made the blue-green lichen glow like emerald. I picked a realistic photo in 20x30 and metallic paper at Buzz's suggestion. The detail is incredible and captured the essence of the Fells with lichen, moss, rock, both evergreen and hardwoods, pools of water in the rock and a last few red-brown leaves in the foreground. We had the photo matted and framed. It looks like an oil painting from a distance and is grand in our 1895 house. It is near a bay window and different times of day highlight different parts of the photo. Buzz's artistic and technical work is outstanding, and he captured the spirit of the area in choice of subject. Thank you, Buzz! You've given us a gift that will last for a lifetime. - Beth & Kelly
