SPECTACULAR photos.

This month the judges are going to be stumped.
Each photo is a winner. (in my eyes)
Thank you again for making this so much fun.
Wow, they all are so great. I don't envy the job the judges will have to do on this one to pick the top one.
All the pics are spectacular... The judges surely have their work cut out!!
All the pics are spectacular... The judges surely have their work cut out!! Best wishes to all:)
Wow what a great bunch of photos! I will have to really search for a waterfall..we don't have any here in the plains...hopefully I will get to the North Shore in the next month, either that or get really creative!:)
oh my...i feel so sorry for who ever you got voting this time around...they are all so gorgeous!
They are all gorgeous! The judges will have a hard time choosing for sure!
Great bunch of photos. It's hard to go wrong with sunrise/sunset!
Waterfalls, huh. Hmmm.
What beautiful photos, all of them. A tough job for your judges.....:-) Hugs
Very nice group!
Don't you just love sunsets? And they happen everyday....
I would guess that it's really hard to take a BAD photo of a sunset! These are all beautiful! In my mind, however, there is one clear winner. Now I'll just wait and see if the judges agree with me!
Spectacular photos. I am going to have a lot of difficulty finding a photo of a waterfall here. LOL
So many awesome photos! I love sunsets :oD
We don't have waterfalls here... only fountains... we have lots of fountains lol
I wouldn't want to be a judge! They are so beautiful, each in it's own way!
I enjoyed all of these so much (as well as your own). Will look in on each of the blogs, as well.
Such great photos. I love sunset pictures. I always wish there was a place I could go around me where I could see one, at least once in a while.
Great group of pictures, Joan... But I must admit that your 'teaser' one the other day was the BEST of all of them.... Too bad you can't enter your own contest... ha ha .... Linda Reeder's is my fav this month.
Hugs,
Betsy
So many gorgeous sunsets, they make me want to get a glass of wine and sit back and enjoy all the views.
Waterfalls could be a little difficult here on the edge of the high desert but I'll try. Betsy should enter this one.
the sunsets are magnificent! I finally had to send one of my photo corresponding to the theme, it will be for a next time!
Bye !!
They're all beautiful, but that one by Scott P. is simply amazing!
Oh, my goodness, what beautiful shots, all of them. I had so many sunset/sunrise pictures of my own, I had one heck of a time choosing one to send.
I'm new to your wonderful blog but I'll be back. Loved the photos and Linda Reeder was my favorite. Getting out my waterfall shots now!
