  1. Love the fall/autumn atmpshere this is breathing, very well exposed. And to top it of, a nice species intro. It's quite a thrilling race between the 3 of you :) Posted 11 years ago
    1. Yes, the fall colors were absolutely beautiful this year! It is my favorite time of year, but sadly it is coming to a close. But with it brings a new season of photography opportunities. And yes, I have noticed a lot of new species going up by a select couple of other users; I feel like I was a little behind over the weekend. It will be interesting to see how it ends up in the end. It is for sure bringing a lot of new species to the site with everyone's combined efforts! Posted 11 years ago
      1. Totally, we're at 150 new ones now. You're at 29, only 4 removed from #1 at 33. Posted 11 years ago
