Molly - Sounds like you are having fun. :) And that is indeed some serious fog. I like the solitary tree, though. Makes the photo.03/11/2010 - 11:17 am

Marcie - Gorgeous simplicity. And - I have Alyson's book and subscribe to her site. Would love to hear more of what you've learned. We seem to be in the same 'business'.03/11/2010 - 1:32 pm

Debi - Sounds like a great seminar, Bo! I'll be sure to check out her blog shortly. Sounds like I need some of that information as well! Great shot, too, btw. Fog outside is good to make one focus on inside stuff.03/11/2010 - 3:13 pm

Marcie - Thanks for all of the great links. As for camera bags - you may want to check-out 'epiphanie' and 'Jill-e'. Unfortunately - I can't speak about either of them..but they do look good!03/10/2010 - 6:41 am

Gandalf - The wall of pix is great. Are you up there?03/10/2010 - 7:37 am

Molly - Awesome photo.03/10/2010 - 10:09 am

Debi - This post is chocked full of information, Bo. I DO have a nice camera bag that I use for business gigs - a Temba Rolling Carrier. It carries my laptop and business papers and has ample compartments for two camera bodies with lens' attached AND plenty of space for extra lenses, etc. AND, the camera portion lifts out making it a perfect overnight bag! That it rolls has saved my sanity, though occasionally I still have to schlep it. However, that said, I still need a good bag for in the field. Often, I choose one lens for hiking and need another that I simply couldn't carry. So yeah..I'm interested in hearing from other women photographers, too. THANKS for all these neat links! Very useful!03/11/2010 - 3:19 pm

Rosie leaves 'n blooms - Hello there and welcome to Blotanical - I hope you enjoy meeting new gardeners over there - normally I post on blogs and send a message through Blotanical but this week I don't have alot of free time. Pop over to my scottish garden blog sometime. I too am yearning for those spring days - they can't come soon enough03/08/2010 - 2:44 pm

Montucky - Love the green! Here now there are tiny green things emerging from the ground. So welcome!03/08/2010 - 7:45 pm

Marcie - Yes...we're being teased by spring as well. Love the repetition of pattern here. Almost abstract..but not quite.03/09/2010 - 4:24 am

Gandalf - great visual pattern, and alas Spring will come and ski season will be done dancing. :(03/09/2010 - 7:34 am

Molly - Springtime! Gotta love it. This is a simple but very pleasing shot. :)03/09/2010 - 10:43 am

Debi - YAY! for Conservancies! They keep us sane during the winter months!03/11/2010 - 3:22 pm

Karen Wallace - What beautiful blooms Bo! I'm thrilled that even in the snowiest of times you can see a little 'tropicalness'...03/04/2010 - 2:52 am

Marcie - Exquisite detail. WOW!03/04/2010 - 7:40 am

Gandalf - Very lovely. I find orchids to be exquisit flowers.03/04/2010 - 7:54 am

Anna Surface - Bo, you are so fortunate to have Olbrich Botanical Gardens close by. These are exquisite orchids... as others have stated. Lovely close-up, composition and detail bringing the flowers forth in a pop with hello faces. :)03/04/2010 - 8:41 am

debsgarden - You have some beautiful photographs on your blog! This orchid s a wonderful color. I just happened upon your site in a roundabout way through blotanical. I will visit again!03/04/2010 - 9:50 am

Molly - Simply lovely. And they are purple which makes them even prettier!03/04/2010 - 4:58 pm

Montucky - How beautiful! I would love to have a place like that close enough to visit on a cold winter's day.03/04/2010 - 8:03 pm

Debi - Sigh. I'm so ready for spring!03/05/2010 - 12:29 pm

bernie kasper - Beautiful image Bo..I can never photograph Orchids to my liking but you really nailed this one, fine work !!03/05/2010 - 3:57 pm

Gandalf - A very fun photo.03/02/2010 - 10:49 am

Marcie - What fun..and a great find!!!03/02/2010 - 12:54 pm

Montucky - Those were the days and the Christmas lights are very fitting with them!03/02/2010 - 9:47 pm

Susan See - Love the lighting and reflections!03/02/2010 - 10:29 pm

Molly - This photo made me smile!03/04/2010 - 4:55 pm

Sue - Fabulous and fun!!!03/07/2010 - 12:34 pm

Molly - Decisions, decisions, right? LOL03/01/2010 - 1:24 pm

Anna - An omelet with cheese and peppers with a good dash of hot sauce would taste very good! I like photographing bottles... with stuff or not. Nice hot stuff shot. :)03/01/2010 - 4:46 pm

Montucky - An omelette sounds good, and of course plenty of the good stuff to put on it. That looks just a little like one of the shelves in our kitchen.03/01/2010 - 9:27 pm

Gandalf - great photo. Love the hot sauce.03/02/2010 - 10:48 am

Debi - This makes me hungry. Everything tastes better with hot sauce on it, and I'm crazy about Mexican omelets with hot sauce. Tabasco is KING in my world but I'm up to trying them all! Next time I visit Wisconsin I so need to try this place - I'm salivating!03/03/2010 - 2:34 pm

Montucky - That's really pretty! Looks like a furry winter jacket on the leaves.02/28/2010 - 4:08 pm

Marcie - Exquisite detail. That white fuzzy stuff looks so soft...03/01/2010 - 6:18 am

Gandalf - Reminds me of Fuzzy Wuzzy03/01/2010 - 8:04 am

Molly - The detail is incredible in this.03/01/2010 - 1:19 pm

Debi - AH, man...I'm ready to see some new green growth, fuzzy or not! This is choice - thanks for the treat!03/03/2010 - 2:32 pm

Marcie - Am just loving these historic houses. Especially love the fence and gate in this one!02/07/2010 - 7:00 am

Molly - Ah, this is my favorite of the two. Hard to explain, but this picture sparks my imagination. That's a good thing. :)02/07/2010 - 9:18 am

Sue - Three floors! Wow...that must have been the life of luxury 150 years ago.02/07/2010 - 10:52 am

Debi - Oh. Wow. THIS is why I fell in love with Wisconsin - love the architecture. And the trees and landscape, too!02/12/2010 - 7:12 am

Marcie - Love these simply styled old homes. Beautifully captured!!!02/06/2010 - 7:11 am

Sue - Ooo I would imagine it would be even better to photograph while it is closed for the winter -- no people to clutter the image. Nicely captured!02/06/2010 - 9:06 am

Montucky - I wish I could have watched as these were being built. Those were stone masons who knew their business. Nearly two centuries and they still look great. Excellent photo!02/06/2010 - 11:45 am

Anna - What a lovely shot! I just love the old limestone buildings and houses.02/06/2010 - 3:25 pm

Molly - Definitely a pretty shot.02/07/2010 - 9:16 am

Debi - Stunning, stunning, stunning.02/12/2010 - 7:13 am

Emma Newman - Wow. That just hit me like a juggernaut in the gut. Thank you for sharing it... I think I needed that message today too.02/02/2010 - 12:32 pm

Joanna Young - Bo, me too. I loved this photo and the way you drew us into the post, and the message, and those moments when that is just what we need to hear...02/02/2010 - 12:33 pm

Gandalf - Very full post. The visual effect of the reflections in the glass and the image in the building as well as the message.02/02/2010 - 2:31 pm

Anna - A beautiful window capture and a very apt message. Indeed. I certainly needed that message today. Perfect.02/02/2010 - 2:47 pm

Sue - As I looked at the wonderful image I could see there was writing, but couldn't read it. Thanks for sharing the words -- a important message contained in those words.02/02/2010 - 4:46 pm

Montucky - That is indeed a message and thanks for passing it on!02/02/2010 - 8:29 pm

Molly - Somehow we always manage to find the exact thing we needed to hear... it is so true.02/02/2010 - 10:26 pm

Susan - ooooooh....love the message hidden within...and then clear and claifying!02/04/2010 - 6:53 am

Robin - I think it's a message I needed to read, too. Thank you, Bo. It's a great shot. I've been getting caught up with you and admiring your recent shots. You're an amazing photographer.02/08/2010 - 2:26 pm
