Hope you're doing well! Tell your hubby hello from Greg and me!
Wow these are some great photos..I really liked DJan's Fog..what a view, and Ratty's Deer in the Fog..awesome..and Pat's Foggy Trees..excellent..these are some very talented people!! :)
The judges are going to have a tough job! All these photos are fabulous. And I'd love a pair of those Hello Kitty boots to go puddle jumping in!
Happy weekend,

Take pictures of what you do at the cabin for landscaping..we will all love to see. Hi to Greg too and you guys start thinking of when you want to come to see our lake!
