Mothers Day Pics

[Big Mark]

took my mom down to the wetlands behind my house today while she was up visiting for Mothers Day. I know the location and subjects are getting old, but I'd still love to get any feedback you folks have to offer. Hopefully I'll get a chance in the next few weeks to get out to some new locales and get some different subjects.

Thanks in advance for any comments/critiques.

Oh yeah, might as well add this here for the umpteenth time - the pups in the picture are up for adoption.

Mark, your pics are getting better. I really like the one of your mom with the wildflowers in the back and the pups in the middle.

I love the first dogs pic too...the wild flowers are nice as well.

Thanks for all the feedback folks, it's greatly appreciated - and Plu, it's great to hear you think I'm improving. :)

It's funny, what are "weeds" in real life become "wild flowers" in photos. This is the first year that we havent sprayed to kill those flowers (cows cant eat them and they choke out the grass). This year we've sold that land to become a wetlands conservancy so they're growing wild again. They really are beautiful, but they turn your feet/legs/dogs yellow as you walk through them.

Yeah, the weeds are beautiful. I pulled up about an acre of them around my Momma's over the weekend. If she thinks something is pretty, be it weed or something exotic, she plants it and many times chokes out her flower beds.:44: But in a setting like that, they work.
