Thank you Stephanie for your support and the nice comments on my Bassets 1 photo. They were borther and sister from a litter many years ago. The one on the right got distemper and passed away. The one on the left ran away from her new home and was never found that I know of.

Edward Weston
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

times three. What brought they from the founded land over the flowing sea? Seven stars & seven stones, and one white tree"-The Lord of the Rings
Hi Stephanie, thanks for your comments on Sudden Urge, very much appreciated.
As for reducing the grain in your images, there's been plenty of discussion about this. Try these:
Stephanie, thank you for your nice comments on "Anticipation". I was amazed how well this little guy did while I was taking his picture. It would be nice if they stayed that size...I have several labs....big or small, they are just as lovable & cuddly. Thank you again...much appreciation. Sherree
May is a great time to visit Grand Turk Island, British West Indies. The weather is mild 80F and the humidity fairly low, the skies are a brilliant blue and it's still one month before the start of Hurricane and Thunderstorm season. Thanks for stopping by and viewing the lovely tropical foliage and gorgeous seas Stephanie!

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.
Hey Stephanie, thanks for the comment on the Watusi Bull from African Safari. The Giraffe picture is for tomorrow. I don't have a sunroof on my truck, so I didn't get to see it that close. It was a riot with everything else sticking their heads in the window, though.
