We have some fish in our pond, but nothing as pretty as those.

Talk about Carpe diem – Sieze the day. Sieze the neme. Excellent round up of nemes and wonderful montages.

Beautiful koi collection. Yeah, don’t we just love to be near the coast? Enjoy your weekend and have fun with your D60. Hehe, My D40x is just 3 weeks old, so please bear with my photos. I also use the P/S.

Love your collection of shadows, and your beautiful shots of the koi fish. The last time we were at Newport Beach was in 1986, with our three young children. We were visiting friends in LA, who took us on the most wonderful day’s outing on their son’s cruiser. I guess it’s changed a lot since then!

Both of these collages are fantastic. I have to admit though, I think that fish collage is probably my favorite of your collages yet! AWESOME.
