hiker,
Thks for stopping by “Place of Dreams”. This is an old slide that I restored using photo shop. It was taken some 20 years ago somewhere in Texas by a stream. I blurred it up a little for the contest. Doubt that it will win anything but I like it. Also, thks for looking at Pink Parade and Cajun Rain.
Pat

Hiker - Thanks for stopping by to see the gilded Bugatti. I have posted two other shots of this car, you can search for a desktop image using the term Bugatti or go to my page and check them out.

Hiker,
Thankyou so much for viewing Cajun Rain. I’m glad you liked the little old time cabin sitting in the rain. I just adored that structure when I saw it, but the rain running off the roof got my attention even more. Thus the title. Glad you enjoyed.
Pat

Dear hiking friend,
Thanks so much for your apppreciation expressed so nicely in respect to 'sunset in January'.
*another Hiker - like myself* LOL

Hiker,
I am so far behind my thank you’s, it ain’t even funny. So, please allow me (abeit late) to thank you for dropping in on the various compositions of the Louisiana Plantation series. We covered a lot of history, didn’t we? I learned a lot and I hope you did also. There’s lots more history to be explored and in time, we will do so. Thks again for all of your lovely comments.
Pat

Hey Hiker,

Thanks for the comments on 'Ohanapecosh River' very much appreciated. The river runs pretty fast through here and does make a fair amount of noise.

Thanks Hiker, for your favourable words on "Triptych". Perhaps do not find everyone a frame beautiful. But some subjects ask simply for something special. As a result, get you then a eye-catcher.
Finely that I have share these picture with you.
Wil

Hello Hiker,
Reference "Alligator Alley"...I love the Louisiana swampland. It is so photogenic with it's cypress trees and wildlife. There have been quite a few referneces to this resembling a painting. I like that. Works for me. Thks for stopping by. I really appreciate it.
Pat

Dear hiking friend,
Everybody who likes my baby:
1. must be a very special person
2. immediately becomes my friend
3. receives great big wet kiss from Boo boo LOL
Many thanks for paying your due tribute to my beautiful baby LOL
*leaves completely happy and amused too*

Also, many thanks for your most interesting comment on 'beauty's price'.
The one holly bush you saw is a very small one - just planted and in a pot so we will wait and see what its gender is.
Many thanks once again and best regards !!!

Reference "Bad Hair Day" and "Bad Hair Day 2". Isn't that a mean lookin little booger? He was not happy being photographed but I'm glad you got az kick out of viewing him. Thks Hiker.
Pat

Reference: "I turned around and there she was" You are right. That little ole lady could talk the left hind leg off a brown dog. Shw would go on and on and on. She was great. Thks for stopping by.
Pat

Nat

hi hiker, the pic you saw was taken from the side of the staten island ferry, not far from Liberty Island. glad you liked it, thanks.
rob

Thank you for commenting on my post "Still Waters". I hadn't noticed the tilt to the left but then as a liberal Democrat from northern Minnesota I have always had a tendency to tilt to the left.

Thank you Hiker for your nice comment on Lakeside Path. I am pleased you like it. Autumn colours are always nice to capture.

Thank you so much for the great comment you left for "Hummingbird" best one I ever got.

Thank you for your nice comments on my Hayfield photo...I appreciate yoru thoughts so very much.. Verena

Thank you Hiker, for your kind comments on "Butterfly 1" so glad you enjoyed it.

Hello Hiker! Gator World was shot through a glass wall. The image quality was not what I wanted so I did some adjustments in Photoshop. I'm glad that you find this interesting.
Russ

Thank you Hiker, for your comment on "Tiger Swallowtail" glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Hiker ... glad you liked "Thendara Train 1". Even happier you left your wonderful comment ... Thank You! I'm familiar with the inn you mentioned. Haven't eaten there but hope to next time I have the opportunity. I love the Adirondacks and I'm fortunate enough to have a friend with a cabin outside Old Forge. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks again!

Hey Hiker,

Thanks for the comments on 'St.Helens Devastation 5' very much appreciated.

Hey again Hiker,

Thanks for the comments on 'St.Helens Devastation 6' I really appreciate it. You are correct.

Hello there Hiker! Belated thanks for your wonderfully supportive message about 'Sunlit Font on Abbey Ruins'. I'm delighted you find the scene as captivating as I did. Such a wonderful stroke of luck: I'd left my wheelchair-bound mother in the graveyard (still very much alive and enjoying the dappled shade, I hasten to add) whilst I battled through the undergrowth to get inside the abbey, just when a shaft of sunlight was falling on the font. Unbelievably, that magnificent old tree was growing in the very centre of what was probably the nave and it gives a wonderful contrast to the stone.

Thanks again for making time to leave such a lovely message. Greatly appreciated.

Hey , thx for the comment on water lily ; glad you liked it.

So glad you came by to see "Generations" and "Hawaiians" and enjoyed them. Your kind words are appreciated. Thanks, Anita

Thanks for your kind comments on "FromThe Mount Washington". Any comments of encouragement are appreciated.

Hey Hiker,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mount St.Helens' I really do appreciate it. If Mt.Rainier were to blow it would be very bad and it is an active volcano. I can see the top of it from here. Plus we can see Mt.Adams, another volcano.

Hey again Hiker,

Thanks for the comments on 'Cowlitz Chimneys' very much appreciated.

Hello Don.....Thankyou for taking the time to have a look at (IRON GATE) and for your kind comments...it is very much appreciated...Yes you are right when you say the dark trees help to highlight the distant back ground...Thanks....All the best....Mick.

Hi Don ... Thanks an awful lot for the great comment on "Caedesian Cattle Car". Hope your upcoming trip to the Adirondacks is an enjoyable one. I'll be keeping an eye out for any "nuts" you might have found while there. :o)

Hi there, about my Bannack photo, yes you can go inside almost all of these little places. A few are not open to the public, but I was able to meet and talk to the Ranger Lady that lives near there, and she allowed me to go in and take pics of those that arent usually accessible. I will post some of the pics next week . Im leaving tomorrow(Sat) again til Tues, but then I'll be posting more. Thanx so much for your interest...verena

Hi there, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments for " Scottish Highland " they are very much appreciated. Glad you like it, Sometimes the merges work ok others not so good.

Auline

Hi Don, I appreciate your kind comment on "welcome to the world 2" I will post another in a few days.

Hey Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Cispus River' very much appreciated. The water is cold and this area is about fifteen miles from the mountain at best guess. I'm sure there was a fair amount of ash here...not sure, most of it went east and hit us.

Hey again Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Iron Creek' I really appreciate it.

Hi Don,
Many thanks for your support and participation in the Gator Drama series. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Your comments kept me thinking and planning as we went. Many aspects of the drama were true. It was a dangerous place to be. There is a narrow gravel road around the lake and gators will come up on it to “greet” you. The marsh hens really did give me a scare and the gator really did get much too close to me. Thks again for all the fun your comments provided. I see your name finally leaked out. It wasn't me!
Pat

Thanks for coming by "Angels Gather Here" Don. Your very kind comments are always welcome. Anita

Hi Don, thank you for stopping by and viewing "Cardinal on deck" I enjoyed your nice comment.

Hi, thanks for taking a look at New Years Bliss and leaving a comment. You wouldn't believe how many attempts it took to get the sun perfect aligned behind the branch of the tree. So I am really pleased you mentioned that specifically :)

So glad you strolled along the beach at "Galveston Daybreak" Don. Thanks for your kind words and constant support. Anita

Thanks for coming by "Before the Crowds Come" Don. If you get there before the day is too far gone, it is beautiful. Thanks for your kind words. Anita

Hello Hiker, thanks for your positive comments on "reflections", I don't know what slanted means (too full maybe?)but I don't have photoshop and besides; I just like my view the way it is(LOL), glad you liked it too !!

Hi Don, so glad you liked my "Birds eye" photo, and thank's for the comments.

Also glad you enjoyed "There is no end" Thank you

He got that close to me because I wasn't paying attention. I was busy photographing some marsh hens. Oh well, I lived to tell about it. Thks for viewing.
Pat

Hey Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mt.Adams' very much appreciated.

Hey again Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mt.Adams from Glenwood' I really appreciate it. How could you live here and ignore such beauty?

Hey some more Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mt.Rainier from Randle' very much appreciated. This area even though close to St.Helens was not affected. This is logged off, what they call clear cutting which leaves nothing.

Hey Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mountain Trail' much appreciated. No I didn't camp here, I don't think you can up here, not sure. Bear and Cougar are a real threat here as well and hiker are told what to do should encounter either one. Poop your pants, scream, and run like crazy.

And again Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Pine Creek' very much appreciated.

Hey there Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Lower Falls' I really appreciate it.

Hey Don, Ref: Sunset, Louisiana Style.Thks for taking a look at this. I like it too if I do say so. It was a beautiful sunset. I could have "gussied" it up a little but that was straight out of the camera. Nothing done except to run it through "Neat Image" to reduce some low light noise.
Pat

So glad you came by to see "Freedom Flight" Don. It's actually on the railing of my favorite restaurant there...Shugru's at Hillside Shopping Center. Glad it brought good memories for you. Thanks for your kind words. Anita

Thank you so much for your great comment on "Little Hummer" you made my day.

Hey Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Twin Falls Creek' very much appreciated.

Hey again Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Lewis River' I really appreciate it.

Hey there Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Lower Falls 2' very much appreciated.

Hey some more Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Mountain Creek' I really appreciate it. If I were into hiking more I would be out of work too. I used to ride mountain bikes in these mountains and could have quit work for that too.

Now then Don...you got your Ma-in-Law mixed up with Wor-Lass!......A big 'Cow-Pie' comes to mind? heh! heh!
Thanks for your comments and visit.....Bob

Glad you came by "My Pad" and enjoyed it Don. Thanks for the nice words. Always appreciated. Anita

So glad you liked "blue eye" thank you for the nice comment Don, have a great day.

Hiker,
I want to thank you for taking a look at Goodnight And Sleep Tight and Anxious Moon.
I think I love sunsets better than anything other class of subjects to shoot. Your opinions are highly valued.
Pat

Hey again Don,
Thks for visiting "Artistic Logs". My new camera is eating my lunch right now. So much to learn. But, I know I will like it. Thks for taking the time to comment.
Pat

Thanks for the comment on "Badlands"! When the weather cools off I'm going to go back out into the badlands to shoot some more.

Hey Don , thx for the comment on croc 1 ; glad you liked it

Hi Don, thank you for the kind words on my Hummingbird photos, so glad you liked them.

Thanks for your kind comment at ‘Raging Waters’. Since so many people ask where it was taken, I’ll include it in the description to save myself some time haha. But it was taken in Bird Bay in South Australia.

Hey Don,

Thanks for the comments on 'Pine Creek 2' very much appreciated.

Hey again Don,

Hey some more Don,

Hello Don! Thank you for you long and interesting comment on my Bannack photo series..it means a lot to me to know you enjoyed them. And I'm glad you find the history of it interesting too...thanx so very much....verena
