Thank you very much for your comments on "Bad Hair Day", they really are appreciated. The Pacific Rain Forests offer many such sights and are always a pleasure to visit. I live on the other side of Washington which is also a desert. The desert also has its' beauty and I frequently photograph it. On occasion I travel to Phoenix and love to photograph in the surrounding area.
I am honored to have my works in your favorites area. Thank you.
Thank you Joel for the comments you left at “Irresistible” I agree it does have a motivational poster look to it, although I hadn’t noticed it until you mentioned it. Thanks again.
Joel, thanks a bunch for the comment on "Taughannock". I know how you feel about lack of water, northeast Ohio is almost devoid of any sort of waterfalls! Thanks again and I'm glad you like it!
Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and He saved them from their distress. He brought them out of their gloom and darkness and broke their chains in pieces. (Psalm 107:13-14)
Thanks Joel for the comment on "Lembert Dome" -- it was taken across the Tuolumne River, just outside the campground. Thanks also for adding it to your favorites, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
thanks joel for the comment on "porphyrophobia"... i searched for "fear of the color purple" in google and that's what many sites defined it as.. thanks for the explanation
Hi Joel. Thanks for taking the time and stopping in to my gallery. I'm sure glad you liked the Pelican Strike photo. I took about fifty of them over an evening, before I found one that I liked. By the way I love your sunset shots. You definitely have it going on there.
Joel, thanks for your post on 'Green field' - much appreciated. I'm not a tourism salesman I promise, but South Africa certainly has a lot to offer! Anyway, thanks again
Hi Joel. Thanks for your comments on "Summer Tranquility". It's been pretty hot up here in Vancouver this summer also - compared to what we are used to. Can't imagine what it must be like in the desert!
Hello Joel:Thanks. I’m glad you liked “Fall Reflected”. That was one of my fun images. I was standing in the water up to my knees and as it was a warm day the cold water sure felt good.

Thanks Joel for taking the time to view and comment on my "Aspens" photo. That image was taken in October and it was the first time that I saw Aspens. They were beautiful. I would love to go back to that area again,

Wow Joel such praises. Thanks. . I'm really glad you liked "Foggy Mt. Rainier Sunrise from Reflection Lake". When I started photographing, that morning, you could just see the Mountain. A little breeze came up and 15 minutes later the fog was gone. Just the right place at the right time. Thanks again.
Joel - thanks for your post on 'View from the Eiffel Tower #2' - much appreciated. As for wanting to go to Stonehenge - you should definitely go there - I'm going to dig out and scan a photo from when we were over there last year..
Hey Joel: I'm so glad you liked “Natures' Masterpiece” and thanks for your comments. They really are appreciated. That is the beauty of soft focus; it helps it to achieve a dreamy ambiance.
Thank you for such gracious comments on "Winter Wonderland". I’m always honored to have your comments on my Images and to be in your Favorites Gallery. Thanks.
Thanks for the welcome Joel! I will post another pic of black and yellow argiope today i think. its more of a whole body shot like you requested. Thanks for the comments : )
lol haha nice rhyme :P thanks for commenting on "mystic" and thanks for that little tidbit about the zodiac signs. that was intreiging.....dam thats a hard word to spell lol.
Hi Joel: Thanks for your comments on "Mr. Redwing Waits. I love photographing animals and birds that have a large circle of fear (they run or fly before you get within, up close and personal, photography range). Getting close enough is always magical. I think they probably are the same bird as the Redwinged Blackbird winters in your neck of the woods, so to speak.
Hey Joel, thanks for the comment on "Purples 'n Greens" - glad you like it! Yeah, I thought it looked like a weird soft kind of thistle as well.. Guess we'll never know..
Wow a double 10. Thanks for such kind words on "Deep in a forest of Light" & "Over the Edge". You are most welcome on photos that speak of the great Northwest. But I find the images that I have from the Phoenix area have a quiet beauty all their own. I guess it's new to me and the only time of year I've been there is late winter and early spring. I'll have to post more from there. Thanks again I'm honored.
Thank you for your words about My Way. They are what motivates me to keep contributing to Caedes. What you said is specially meaningful since it comes from the master of sunsets.
Thanks for your thoughts on "Shadows". I agree with you, the clouds were over-exposed, but I had another person tell me that the ground wasn't bright enough. It was a compromise for both, so the sky didn't blind the veiwer, and the ground was recognizable. I like the blue too. Thanks again.
I agree completely that the blurrs are distracting my image "Cancun" but no I dont have photoshop and it was harder to delete the people.. Thanks for the suggestion and comment though.

Joel, thanks a bunch for the kind words on "Big Mountains, Big Skies". It is nice to know that you think it should have a higher c-index than it currently has. Also, thanks for the 10/10! I am honored to have one of my photos in your favorites.
"What other reason could there be to get up in the morning except to set ourselves free."
If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Thanks for the comment on "Monhegan Surf 1". I did try some shots with slower shutter as you suggest, but didn't like the results. Unlike waterfalls where most of the water is flowing more or less together, the flow patterns of water in breaking waves seems to be much more chaotic. When I went to the slower shutter, it just made the waves into big white blobs. Maybe if I got the speed "just right", I could get the effect you suggest, but on this trip I didn't. But hey, that's a reason to go back!
Thanks Joel, for your comment on Evil Intent, i can see your point, i have been in your great state a few times, it's one of my favorite, Thanks again, Dwight.

Hey Joel, thanks for the comment on (Munich by Night). I have foud that taking many pictures of the same subject almost always pays off in the end. Glad you enjoyed the picture~
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
Hey Joel, thanks for the comments on "Behold the Rock of Ages". I told Keith that I thought Menashtash would be a nice name to have. Can you imagine the ribbing a kid would take with a name like that?
