Vin, I think I'm enjoying your shots of people that don't say hello more than just about anything else in the forum right now. Mr floppy hat funny pants is right up there next to miss snooty I need to learn how to hold my camera red dress. Enjoyed the other ones, too, but the butterfly is my second favorite.

This is the best laugh I have had all day! But I feel kinda bad that we are now looking forward to people being rude to you. But on the other hand, it is very nice of you to share that with us!
And the butterfly shot is awesome.
Thanks for the laughs.

Your probably lucky that Guy didn't stop to talk to you! Wearing those pants. I'm pretty sure he's probably an escapee from a mental institution!!! l.o.l Could have been Dangerous!!!! Wait, I think I have a pair just like them. Uh Oh!!

Great set Vin, I like the 1st one, the way you framed the steeple with the trees and the butterfly capture is great. You must have been using the new lens to get that Crow Portrait!!
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael

I LOVE the butterfly one! The colors are amazing.

I'm with Mike. The non-talkers are quite enjoyable, esspecially for all their quirkiness. Meanwhile, back to your people friendly photos. I really like your first. Weathervanes are just plain beautiful and I like the tree frame. Very cool photo!
