Kathryn Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 And I think this is my last one. The cute little bromeliads were everywhere during the horseback riding, but my horse was cooperating with my picture taking. This is the best one I got. Click Here to Join the IPS Today!

NCpalmqueen Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Kim The photos are stunning. You captured the details nicely even in the low light. Everyone who attended must have had professional cameras as all the photos are awesome. What kind of camera do you have (same question for Angela)? Thanks for posting. Wish I could have gone.
