Our fellow trekker and great friend Aires Mario da Cruz (oscarromulus) is celebrating his Birthday today October 24!

I’d like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIO! I’m sure you’ll have a great day over in Canada!

My small contribution is a million flowers for Mario; wood anemones to be accurate, as captured one fine day in the spring…

I hope you’ll find some pleasure in my humble flowers, Mario!

Hi Pablo

What a beautiful dedication and a charming landscape!
I'm sure Mario will love it!
These wood anemones are really lovely and contrast well with pretty much everything else around them, creating this impression artistical view here. They really are a lot and almost look like an avalanche comming down the hill :)
Nicely taken!

Bravo and TFS

Hi! Millions for Mario! Millions for Pablo! Forever!

I thank you twice. Once for your thoughtful reminder as to Mario's B'Day, and again to you for just being here with such wonderful images. It is a blanket of white. A nice way to remember summer and spring, now so long away. It is beauty in it's simplicity!
Bob

How can I EVER thank you enough for this KIND KIND gesture.
I'm HUMBLED.
DEAR DEAR PABLO.
THANK YOU.

Hi Pablo, hi Mario,
Mario: Happy Birthday!
Pablo: good minimalistic photo. So much yet so few at the same time - I mean so many flowers, but so few may be seen! Nice compo. Though it seems like You used 'sharpen more' effect a little bit more than the optimal. But nevertheless I like it. Tfs, greetings, László

Hello Pablo,
What an excellent birthday celebration shot for Mario!
Superb capture of a slope of Wood Anemones, or what we call in Swedish Vitsippor. Nice contrast of the striking white of the flowers and the dark green of the foliage in a fine diagonal composition.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Pablo,
A million beautiful flowers for a great friend and photographer - Aires Mario. You have presented an exquisite gift which is nonpariel and make everyone feel proud here. Seems like twinkling stars among a bed of green. Simply majestic. Kudos.

Hi Pablo,
A wonderful present to a great person.
This must have been a difficult photo to shrapen correctly, all these details can create havok when it comes to the pixel count.
Love the play of shadow and light
TFS,

Mario is a lucky guy to be presented with such a fine gift on his birthday, Pablo.
This is a truly amazing view of millions of wild flowers strewn across the meadow.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.

Hello Pablo. Excellent shot at this wood anemones on the slope. It looks like snow on the ground in the thumbnail. The light and casts shadow create brilliance and contrast to the shot. Well framed and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Ciao Pablo,
bellissima immagine di questo prato punteggiato da questi piccoli fiori bianchi che contrastano con il verde, ottima gestione sia della zona in luce che in ombra, molto bella anche la prospettiva diagonale.
TFS.
