Warren and Tom,

This thread was a great idea. My hat is off to you.

I really admire folks who can take excellent macro shots or portrait photography. I have never been able to do much with lighting. I rely instead on natural light and good composition. I try to catch an interesting scene as it occurs, and I let my camera do the work.

This is what I photograph on the average Saturday when I am closer to home. And it's just as much fun!
