The Hope Of Spring

I have decided to rename my post for today to something more fitting for our friends in Egypt, "The Hope Of Spring." I want to use this as a tribute to our friends, to show support for their stand, and their dedication for a free tomorrow. The Winter is coming to an end, but the Hope Of Spring is upon our friends in Egypt. They stood strong for what they believed in, and their voice was heard. It should be an example to us all to be willing to stand tall, to stand united for what we believe in. Congratulations! We are so happy for you.

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

The water is so clear - reflections so beautiful - I am so drawn into your photos and words. I like the tribute, although our friends in Egypt need to be careful to not elect someone or a group that will control them in a different not so positive way.

[Pamela Mandeville]

Amazing photo! And the perfect reflection - I hope for the calm, smooth transition for Egypt that the water portrays.

[Moe Lauchert]

Totally lovin' in the clarity of the water! The sky is more clear in the reflection, who needs an N.D filter when you have a crystal clear stream! Great rich colors of whatever is growing in the background. Even though there's snow on the ground the warmth of the colors of the small rich orange spaces are enough to offset the cold winter feel. Love it man!
