if this isn't a 10 and a blue border then I just don't get how they pick them , it seems more by the people who post and not by the content of the picture.... Just saying!!!

Thank you everyone who took the time to rate and write I am always so grateful and thanks to the approver's, But I must say as of late there have been way to many sub-par photos let into this category because of who rather than what the actual content of the photos have been. I am however grateful and thanks for listening Randel

About randel52
randel52 Hello ,Just your avid adventurer retired and living in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Only 25 miles outside of Yosemite National Forest.I am the owner of the Peace Valley Ranch in Mariposa California.The beauty of the wildlife and the forest always seems to find me running for a camera. I have a love for adventure and Motorcycles and am usually traveling or out riding one of my motorcycles, when not enjoying the view from my front porch.I really have enjoyed the photography and the people I have met here in the last eight yearsa at Wunderground. It is a wonderful place to share stories and our art.For me each shot is a memory lived and to be able to share it with others brings me so much joy. Thanks for stopping by!! Randel52
