Sporophyte Villagers Sing Outloud: Happy Independence Day and Happy Birthday Joe!

One of my longest Flickr friendships was made last summer when I was fortunate enough to meet Joe Vimal Raj Jeyaraj . I was very excited to find another photographer who used my new camera at the time, the Canon SX30 IS. I was amazed at the quality of his images, and thrilled that he was as friendly as he was talented. Joe's taught me so much! We've been trading comments almost every day since we met and become great friends along the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!! I hope you have a GREAT DAY and here's to another year of friendship!! *big hugs*

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
