But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
Thanks for the positive feedback on "Foggy Morning", It's hard to take a bad shot there. It truly is a spectacular place. There are more pics to come from the same spot so keep an eye out for them ( search under jmar )

Hi there Jess, and thanks for leaving a nice comment on "Strata". I'm not really into geology, but I thought the clearly defined veins in this rock were unusual and attractive enough to make a good picture. I'm glad you agreed :-)
Thanks Jess for taking the time to view and comment on my Ashes 2 photo. She has been the best cat we ever had. She is getting old and thinks she is the boss over everyone, even Toby. I showed him this photo and he was afraid of it.

Thanks again Jess for viewing and commenting on my Daytona Beach 4 photo. Early mornings on the beach is my favorite time and this guy seemed to be having a good time.

Thanks Jess for the nice comments on my Toby photo. He does use that look to beg for scraps without being annoying. He just sits there and watches your every move.

Thanks Jess for your comment on Dizzy #2... im glad you like it... if you like this check out hypnotic..lol .. now that one will hurt your eyes and your brain... lol
Jess, thanks for taking time to comment on Camouflage it Ain't. It is one heck of a long way from Akron USA to Tasmania, and it is very cool that you stopped by may gallery. The internet is so amazing and we're begining to take it all for granted!
Hello Jess. Thanks for your support and comments about "Alectown Landscape". I found the west of NSW to be a photographic challenge. I’m pleased that you approve of my efforts :-)

If my comment on your work ever seems to criticise, it does not. It is always so that we may learn together.
Hi Jess. Thanks for the real nice comments on "Picnic Anyone?" I'm glad it looks good on your desktop.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Hi Jess. Thanks for your comment on " To infinity and beyond" glad you liked it. This is one of Perths, W.A.'s northern suburbs beaches, not as exotic as New Caledonia. I like the Christmas tree too. Cheers Al.
It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless Us, Every One!

Hi Jess, thank you so much for commenting on "The Flower Shop". I really appreciate It. It so nice when people take the time to visit. Jess, your little kitty is getting so tired, he just told me. Ha Ha! Marilyn
Thanks Jess for the comments on my Cades Cove Sunbeam photo. This was originally in color but the colors went weird in the darker areas so I converted it to B&W. I was trying to capture the mood of the scene. I'm glad that you liked it.

Hi Jess, tks so much for your comments on Cat's Eye. The rework was on the image as a whole, but if you want to compare, go see the one in my gallery, the original.
Tks

Thanks Jess for your comment on "Joyous Skies". I think there is a need for perspective when looking at things much larger than us. I will look forward to viewing your work in the future.
Thank you Jess for taking the time to view and post a comment on this image. I was on my way to the grocery store when I saw the beautiful clouds. I stopped along the way to photograph this sunset. I have several photos of this vibrant sunset to upload. I'm glad that you like this Macon Sunset 3 photo.

Thanks Jess for viewing and commenting on my River Walk 2 image. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Right now it only goes about 2 miles. It will be extended about 10 or 12 more miles and be on both sides of the river.

Hi Jess, glad you liked On A Clear Day. Thanks very much for leaving a comment. I'm sure your memories of the Grand Canyon area are as fond as mine. Aside from Disney, I have heard that the Grand Canyon is the top destination for visitors from outside the US.
Hello, Jess!
About uploading. You are lucky you have someone to help you! I've tried numerous times to upload pics, but my computer(I think) won't let me. I also have dial-up, which may be hindering the process too. Did you have a technical problem with uploading?
Hi Jess - thanks for your words on 'Wing'. Re my friends in high places - I was in the middle isle and leant over some obliging window-seat passengers who naturally thought I was a little mad - thanks anyway!
I had to drop by and comment on your icon. I started cracking up as soon as I saw it on one of the comments you made- it reminds me of my old crazy cat hee hee :)
