Thank you Rob for the generous comment on "Piercing Qualities". Happy to share it:-)

Hello Rob. Two big thanks from me, one from Arne, and one from BB for the boosts up and comments on "Bleeding Heart 2-Collab." and "BB's Redemption."

Hey, Rob. Thanks for commenting on my picture "...as He smiles...". I am glad that you liked it. :-)

Rob,
I am truly pleased that you have returned to critique my images. There was a time that I thought that you had given up on me. Most of the folks that looked at, Approaching Storm, Conejos Canyon were very cool with their comments. I believe that they either tried to analyze it or do not enjoy B&W images. Personally I liked it and plan posting more Infrared Images in the future. I am writing to you from 11,000 feet, (304 meters) in the San Juan mountains, still in search of that perfect image. Please stay with me on the comments as yours is always most welcomed.

Rob,
Another comment. You are making this old man very happy. Thank you for your support.
Thank you very much for your coments on my, El Santuario de Chimayo. This is a charming mission. The town of Chimayo (New Mexico) is also a wonderful place to capture images.They are known for their red peppers. Strings, or "Ristas" can be seen hanging from houses eveywhere.

Hello Rob. I truly appreciate your kind remarks on Tides In. Thanks. Judy

Hi Rob ! I have not been here very much lately, but now I´m here to thank you for your comment on Near The Abandoned Water-mill. It´s shot not far from my cabin on the country-side an hours drive from Stockholm. I will be there most days in July without a computer...trying to relax from Caedes..lol. Thanks also for the PM you sent me about your nice car series. I always enjoy your series. Have a pleasant summer ! -- Arne --

Hi Rob

Thanks for your comment on "ice cubes"
Had a lot of fun shooting them...but melted harder that day then the icecubes did...grinn.

Paul

haha.. mandarin slices eh? i might be able to do that lol.. good to hear from you Rob.. how are things going my friend? all good i hope.. drop me a line when you can..

Dj

Rob; It is always so good to receive a commen from you. Sadly your request for additional images of the fog lifting from the Grand Canyon cannot be honored.This is in keeping with my policy of only showing what we consider our very best work. Please understand.

hey Rob.. your comments crack me up.. thats a damn good description lol.. glad you enjoyed it.. talk to you soon.. im going to enjoy the rest of my birthday beer..

Dj

ty for the birthday wishes.. *drinks a beer for ya*

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on A Bend In The River.. I am so happy you liked it.. Glad to see you back at the keyboard again.. We went for a ride in the country today... Think I got some good ones..

haha, thanks a lot for your comments on "framed"! As a matter of fact I was thinking about what it would be like if i mirrored it...quite interesting indeed. P.S. of course im not squinting *nudges back* =)

Rob my Busted up Friend;
Please forgive the long delay in answering your comments about my, Solitude Reworked image. This is my busy season and I am rarely home long enough to answer all of the wonderful (and not so wonderful) comments left by everyone. I want to thank you for your kind words and visit to my Solitude and hope that your stay brought you a calmness that I felt as I photographed it.
This is where you should be with a fishing rod ,in your good hand, until you are as good as new again.

Thanks for your cool comment on conkers. lol it was great to read.

" For dessert tonight we will be serving, Moose mousse" What a horrible thought! Not only is it a bad thought about a good mousse, it is also a bad thought about the status of BULLWINKLE.
fotobob

Thanks so much for your comment on Tractor 3.. Yes, All the old cars and tractors were posted with you in mind.. I am glad you are enjoying them.. Hope you are getting well.. So nice to hear from you..

Hey man, awesome shots!

Thanks for posting on 'Camaro' and getting it started with a bang. I had a rough time with blasting sunlight on shiny black that day until I found a few under an awning. Been to some great shows lately, but they all seem to happen in July at 98 degrees of blasting sun.

Hi Rob - thanks a lot for you wonderful joke on Beautiful But Dangerous..hehe..I really liked it ! -- Arne --

Hi again Rob. It was a really good start to see you "pop up" on my first steam-train image in my series of photos. "Dylta" is one of the best shots, I think and I appreciate your "secret" top voting very much. I´ve missed your series here lately..I wonder if you´re maybe a bit disappointed by the new random voting system without descriptions..(I am..) Don´t think it´s possible to form a fair opinion of an image created together with a description if you cannot read it..!?
Anyway, Thanks very much for your comment, Rob ! -- Arne --

Thanks, Rob. and it would be Byward Market that you would likely enjoy, or another of the smaller (and more real) markets in outlying areas. Thanks for the comments on harvest time. - Dave

hey Rob.. glad you liked Shades.. i really enjyed making this image.. and the camera is getting fun :D thanks as always for the comments and support..

Hello Rob,
thanks for your positive reflections on "Reflection"!
The photo is real, no tricks ,no editing, it is a pool reflection.
The pool is in an old wharf in Den Helder (Holland) and is now used for fun.
Kids can rent motorised rubber boats and have an indoor ride.
And of course I was ahead of them before they could spoil the "mirror".
Thanks, Paul

Your very welcome! 'Can you hear it' was a nice post indeed!

Hi Rob,
Thanks very much for nice comments at "Feuilles d'automne".
Much appreciated.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the positive feedback on "Moon River". It was taken in the evening sun.Yup it's Muskoka alright, you sure do have an eye, sign of a true photographer. I was backroading down a small dirt road just north of Bala, in the Gibson Indian reserve, and presto this river.......John

Rob,
I know that you remember when the Maid of the mist was created, and I am flattered. About my first posting, I am not too sure that you would remember that one. I am in total shock at the number of comments and PM's that I have received asking me to stay on. Yours being on of the ones that has had me reflecting on my choices. Thanks for clearing my head. I will be staying for awhile to see if Caedes makes those changes that we discussed in a couple of PM's. I will be contacting you soon to ask permission to post an image that I have been working on.

hey, Rob!
thanks for your comments on my shot of Powell and Market St.!
it was just a snapshot that i didn't want to crop and i don't know how else to remove the tree! :)
the cloud trails are, indeed, from a plane. it was fleet week and the blue angels were flying over the city all weekend!

Hay Rob,
Thanks for the feeback on "Hay Field" Nice to get around, I hope you take lots of pics while you travel. Never been out west but I know it's a photographer's dream........John

Thanks a lot Rob for your birthday wishes. The aspestos jacket will not help because I'm going to let you help me blow out the candles and I hope that we burn off your eyebrows.
We both miss you,Quiet and the family.

Thank you so much for your fine comments on both Flowers In The Attic and October Rose.. I am learning.. I have so much further to go.. No, I couldn't have possibly centered that rose.. The image wouldn't have balanced properly..

Thank you for your sacrifice to bring back such good pictures :D

Hello Rob...your comments and the fun we've enjoyed here in caedes is so great. It means a lot to me to have good friends like you plus I learn from you...aNd your own photography! Its such a pleasure to see peoples worlds they live in....thank you my friend ..very much!!!

This year we are celebrating Christmas as well as Halloween. We were going to include Easter too but the Bunny kept running away. Oh well there is always next years portrait to look forward to. Both Cameraannie and I feel that we do not need any makeup as we are the most beautiful couple on the face of the earth. We keep hearing people murmur something about love being blind or something like that. By the way the gasses were a Wal-Mart Special. Buy one and get nine pair free. Don't they make me look young and handsome? My son Robert, who is a bit more off center than me, has asked for a couplre of wallet size photos so he can carry them and show all of his fellow co-workers images of his Mom and Dad and then sit back and listen to what they have to say. !:0)Thank for viewing our Annual Portrait of Cameraannie and fotobob

Thanks Rob for your comments on my pic Bucket. Much appreciated. Thanks. Dean

Hello Rob..and many thanx go to you for your comments about my Lonely Beach photo...I feel the same about cropping that off...I would have lost too much other feeling. I know you know how good feelings are when a photo is just right for yourself...and I do believe I hear the surf too and even smell the salty air...hhmmmmm

Hello Rob,
to my big surprise I was elected to be the first Artist of the week, amazing but true.
And so I want to say thanks good friend, for your big support and posting such a nice comment in Dutch! HEEL ERG BEDANKT!
Paul

Shhh ??? what a project! lol I will re-take the picture and do a better job promise! thanks for noticing. I really appreciate your comment! thanks for stoping by.

Thigh deep snow? You've given me the chills just thinking about that. Where was the picture taken?

Hi Rob.Thanks for the comments on "Park Bridge".It did look like a warm spring photo instead of a photo in October.Yes, I like wandering around in the "forest Floor" photo too..Thanks again.

Thanks for staring at my "Boathouse in Fog." I like the feeling of the image too. C-Index, I never even noticed it until you mentioned it. Numbers do not mater to me. It is comments, such as yours that is my report card. I have also found that posting on weekends, especially Sundays are slow days as indicated by the number of viewers. Must be football season.

Hello Rob.I dont think Shelby put that plastic under the cobra but may well have.It was a nice car show and I may post a few more from there ..Rob

hi rob. the point i was making on viewing your great pix of cityscapes...was..i thought seeing a bit of sky with it would add even a bit more to the view...and yes you may send me one of that....thanks for sharing!

Thanks Rob, glad you liked Can't Catch Me.. Blondie is such a stinker.. He will let me get close as long as I don't have my camera.. Someday I will catch him.. As for the bird feeders.. I have several and they are always empty.. He gets into everything and rarely lets another squirrrel near..

Thanks Rob for your great comment on On The Banks Of The River #2.. i'm glad you liked it.. I didnt know about the Jacaranda blossom.. *runs out to stand under the tree, tries to shake it.. LOL.. I'll have to remember that for next year... Hope you had a great New Year, and I hope 2006 brings all you wish for... =)

hey thanks for the advice on 'A Classic' -much appreciated

Hi Rob...thanks alot for looking at Sweet Sixteen...it's much appreciated...yes, the photo was taken in Owen Sound...are you well aquainted with that city?...actually I was born there but have lived in Toronto most of my years...ironically, my brother was born in Toronto but lives in Owen Sound...funny how things work out...anyhow, thanks again.:Pat.

i just saw your gallary and i LUV all your photos! Please keep it up.

Hey Rob,

thank you for your visit at "Afternoon Pond" and for leaving me such a nice comment. I really appreciate your time and words and I'm glad you liked my picture. I did also enjoy that peaceful scenery with the afternoon sun shining her warm light on that wooden platform. This picture was taken at a nice and warm Sunday afternoon in November last year.

Have a grat time and feel free to visit "my gallery"
Bernd

Hey there Rob my friend....gratefully obliged for your kind input to 'Old Frame etc.'...This place is nearly a complete ruin of 'undemined' age! it is situated in a place that is fairly 'distant' from 'LIVING' habitation!..after I took this shot..there was a (I can only describe it as an unearthy scream!) I told myself it was only an animal !!! but "Sod-it" I said and 'legged' it as fast as my bandy legs would go!....there was a huge sigh of relief as I got back in to my car and had a few more 'Wee Drams' !!!! Cheers for now anyway.......Bob

Rob - Thank You for your comments on Jet Go cart. My friend lives about half a mile away, and we decided to fire it up on a county road. Its very noisy and fun to operate. I really had fun taking this picture.

Hello Rob, that word (Ooooo…) you used at “Precarious Perch” speaks volumes :-) Thank you.

Hey there Rob, my pal....grateful thanks for your kind words to Ice-Flow
appreciated...especially from you.......Bob

Hey Rob, that was a 'cracker' ...you had Mrs and me in stitches...BUT...it might have been a toadstool!.....More please my friend...I could always do with a chuckle anytime!!
Cheers for now....Bob

The reason I was milling about your gallery so much, was because I saw your signature. It said to look at your gallery. So, I did :)

Hey there Rob..I really appreciated your viewing to my 'Ass'!......This one would available to you for a Valentines Kiss!...The Donkey, I mean!!!........bOb

Hi Rob. Thanks for a great comment on my wintry shot of the Sofia Church in Stockholm. I got a nice shot of a flock of crows circulating around the church spire too, but the quality of that long distance shot was not good enough. Maybe I´ll try to find some other interesting buildings to show you instead.

PS. Your Ice-hockey ladies in Torino are fantastic...I´m very impressed ! DS. (= Arne )

hey Rob.. sorry its taken so long to responde to the comment you left on Misery.. still playing catch-up from my days in Florida.. glad you liked it, ya smartass ;) take care my friend..

Rain Drop Pussy Willow was taken on a small bush next to a local college lake. I used the telephoto macro mode on my KonicaMinolta DiMAGE A200 at f-11, iso50 and used a fill flash that caused the shadowed background to go black. I never realised that Pussy Willows transformed like this. Thanks Rob for taking the time to view and comment on this image.
Russ

Hey Rob by looking at some of your local pictures you don't happen to live in Guelph do you?

Hi Rob! It was a real pleasure reading your kind review of 'In Morning Purity Arrayed', thanks so very much for your nice words and taking time out to view and comment, I'm most grateful to you and I'm so pleased you like it!
Hugs!
Cindy

Hey Rob ,it was definitley fun getting down there it was all ice and snow on the stairs.
It took awhile getting down and back up.

Wipe your mouth Rob, your drooling! There's plenty for everyone. Thanks for commenting on my 2nd Caedes BBQ image.
Russ

Hi Rob...many thanks for your visit to The Canuck Boys...glad you liked it and please excuse my lateness in replying...unexpected work, the BBQ, and a little interruption in internet service recently has put me way behind in all my comments and replies..that BBQ was fun wasn't it, lol...thanks again for all your efforts there.:Pat.

Hi there Rob, thanks for forwarding the warplane museum link to me. Yeah, it got me smiling. The angle you chose could have fooled many. cheers! :)

Hehehe thanks Rob for joining in the Aussie style St. Paddy's Day celebrations.. glad you enjoyed it.. =D

Hello Rob. I’m glad you like “Private Reflections” and appreciate your comments about it. Thank you. It’s one of the most peaceful places I have visited.

Hello Rob....Thank you very much for what you wrote about "Spring Tease". I really appreciated that! Dianna :^))

Thanks Rob for the nice comments on my Bee Blossom image. I appreciate your support.
Russ

Bee Blossom 2 was a close-up image that turned out well with a little cropping. Thanks Rob for the lovely comments on this image.
Russ

Hey Rob! Thanks for checking out the entertainment! Ummm..I'm not sure what Kiefer will say but I have a feeling we may find out! LOL Thanks again!

Thanks Rob for the comments on "Raven Hill". Trying to get a handle on the new camera.

Hi there .. thank you for nice comments (Deer in Bracebridge) .. and welcome note.

Thanks Rob for the nice comments on my Bee Blossom image. I love making these close-up shots but it's often hard getting these little guy to hold still long enough to lock in the focus. Shot at iso50, f11 with fill flash using the telephoto-macro mode.
Russ

Bee Blossom 2 is a tight crop of an off center image that I took during the Cherry Blossom Festival. This composition seems to work well and I appreciate your support. Thanks Rob for taking the time to view and comment on this image.

Hey Rob. It's quite a compliment to be offerred to "duel" with you, but in truth I am now working on a team trying to beat the hurricane season to repair the flood protection in New Orleans before the next storm hits. It leaves me very little time for photography or even participation in the Caedes community. We're under a sixty-hour week mandate until the flood protection is repaired, so I must decline your offer.

I really am not very good at demand photography anyway as witnessed by my inability to *ever* come up with anything for the contests we have here, so I wouldn't be very good competition. Thanks my friend, and keep snapping!

Rob;
When I read your comment about my ;"Wildflowers and Waterfall" I knew that I was back among friends. Thank you for your warn words. It has been a long haul and not finished as of yet, but I now have a bit of breathing room to enjoy my love of the photographic image Your comment has, as always, left a warm feeling deep inside of me.

hi Rob,

Love your "sheesh" series. I must admit, 1 & 2 are my favourites - I think it's the subject's saying sheesh, not we the observers! And what an brand-new baby elephant you've captured, she's fabulous (are these guys all from the MTZ?).

cheers, kim

hi rob:
Thanks for you comment on To Sail Beyond the Sunset. I agree about the boat .. but it wouldn't turn around!! Looking at the picture again I can see it could use a touch of sharpening too. Oh well.

Thanks Rob for the comments on "Blue Lake Eve".Yes, the transition from day to night is an interesting time to do some photography.That was one of the first I took with the new camera and is not quite sharp enough for me but again that time of day can be forgiving for an off sharp photo such as this...

I love this site and everyone I've met has stimulated my artistic side in some way or another. I am embarrassed to say this, but I guess I've missed this message portion of Caedes all this time, as I have just spent the last hour and a half reading over all the kind comments and thanks from ppl to whom I have left posts on their uploads. I usually drop a personal message when ppl comment on mine, but I suppose this is a better way to do it. So my apologies to all...I'll endeavor to do a better job in the future. Every time I turn around on here, there is yet something more to explore, so I want to thank each and every one of you for all your kind comments and the time you take to look at our posts and leave a line or two. I'm sure enjoying my photographic side much more now that I've found this site and all the wonderful ppl on it :)PJ

hi rob,
i saw your entries in one of the threads, and decided to see your gallery for myself. i didnt linger, but i just wanted to tell you i thought the photos you posted are great. so, nice work, and keep posting :o)
rob

Ah, I know all about the beauty of Vancouver.
I live there :)

Hi Rob, thanks for the nice comment on my On The Job,
much appreciated, Don

Thank you...VERY MUCH. Your comment on my O Holy Night image is greatly appreciated. I understand that feeling you had and I am glad you and "Quiet" experienced that beautiful dinner/event together.
Charlotte Church sings the song with this unwavering beauty that makes me get chills and tears....{ as does Josh Groban}. Have a Merry Christmas {you too Ms Quiet}....

thanx Rob for your lovely comment on going up and yep a was suprised when I saw this one, lucky shot you may say

Rob wrote about `Dutch tradition"
I too have enjoyed entirely too many oilebol, but then again, celebrated entirely too many New Years too come to think of it! ...the oilebol was better. That along with Upple Fluppa (horrible spelling here), spiced Gouda with Rusks and a few other unpronounceable delicacies.

Hoi, Rob!
Thanks for your funny comment! "Great Humor"
I hope you doing well on the first New Year day!
Have a great time this year!
John

Hey Rob ... Great to have you drop by "You Promise I'll Be Famous". Appreciate your leaving a comment and amazed at what an eagle eye you have. I never noticed the reflection in the little guys eye. Thanks for pointing it out. :o)

Hello & how the heck are u and the sweet lillady?

Rob, just checked out the link you send me and.....I LOVE Hoarfrost! lol

Geri

Hey Rob --- thanks for your comments on Motorcycle Reflections/ I know what you mean about the difficulty in hiding your own reflection. I was going to 'shop me out of that one but I figured .. what the heck .. leave me in.

Hello Rob! I've been unable to spend the amount of time on caedes like I want too and I'm way behind on my comments. Although I haven't had the time to comment on your images lately, I have viewed, enjoyed and drawn inspiration from them. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Russ

Dear Rob,
Thanks a lot for your comments and the long narrative on "Notre Dame Saints". But really, why is this guy headless anyway?!
