Red berries

Canon 40D with 100mm macro lens
ISO400 F5.0 SS1/320

Friends, I got peed on last night. I was standing in line to buy ice cream for my kids and felt a splash on the back of my (bare) legs. I turned around and saw that the cute little girl behind me had wet her pants rather forcefully. I didn't want to make her feel ashamed so I didn't yell, "Hey man, I'm not into water sports." This has nothing to do with my photo; I just wanted to share. How often do you get peed on when you go get ice cream? Wait, don't answer that.

Oh my word! That is awful...that you got peed on, not the picture.

I almost got peed on by a skunk when I was out for my early morning run last year. I don't take that route anymore.

ROFL! Sorry to laugh, but MAN that is funny! I can't say that I have ever gotten peed on while standing in line to get ice cream... but you watch, now I've jinxed myself and next time some kid will pee down my leg. :p

AWESOME berry shot- it does look like those fake berries you see on wreaths at Christmastime! Your focus is AMAZING!

Ok, I can honestly say that has never happened to me--ESPECIALLY by a GIRL!!! Whoa! Love those berries--they are almost translucent with that light. Nice shot.

Funny, funny story --- and one I am so scared of happening. DS is pretty well potty-trained, but I get awfully nervous in public places.

As for the photo --- I am horrible at anything other than people shots, but you are fantastic. It looks great.

LOL! You have the craziest experiences! I hope you still like ice cream! I've never been peed on but my son pooped in my purse in the doctor's office, once.)I love the contrast of and intensity of the colors in your berry photo.

Oh my gosh that is so funny. I can honestly say that has never happened to me while buying ice cream...I mean ever, yeah that's what I meant.

I love this picture! The color is perfection.
