Hello Fred. Here I live not more than 150 miles from "Covered Crossing" and I'm learning things from someone half way around the world that I didn't know. I really appreciate your comments. I've entered that data into my image sorting software.

I think I'll go look through your Gallery.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

Thanks for you comment on Friendly Grasshopper.. This character follows me all over the garden.. He (or she) seems to like me, and know I would never hurt him.. He seemed to be posing for me.. I was very close and not a bit of fear.. I got several good shots but liked this one the best... I do appreciate your comment..

Thank you Fred for the comments on "Between Classes". I know what you mean by liking these old building. I like to photograph them in order to preserve them in case something does happen to them. I try to do more than take "record" shots. I love to preserve them artistically.

The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling; “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

Hoi Fred
bedankt voor je compliment voor "cabbage white butterfly (Pieris brassicae)"
Het klopt...het is een beetje een vreemde foto geworden waarbij het inderdaad lijkt alsof het koolwitje los staat van de buddleia.
Ik heb trouwens een technisch vraagje voor je...misschien weet jij daar antwoord op.
Ik heb sinds kort WinXP op mijn laptop staan en nu valt me op dat als ik een foto fullscreen wil zien in IE hij de foto niet fullscreen maakt maar gewoon de randen van de foto afhakt.
En dit ondanks het feit dat het in IE staat aangegeven dat hij de afbeelding moet aanpassen.
Nu viel me later op dat meer mensen met XP dit probleem hebben.
Weet jij misschien raad...Ik vraag gewoon maar aan iedereen?

Thanks for the really nice comment at Flying Free. I am happy to share my pictures, and always glad to hear that someone likes them.

Hi Fred...so glad you enjoyed ~ Seasoned ~ and I appreciate your visit and nice comments on it...many thanks.:Pat.

Hello Fred. Thanks for your nice words on 'Inside the chapel' :-)

Hoi Fred,

Thanks again for your compliments and voting; this time on "Dragonfly on a Blackberry".
Much appreciated.
Groeten, Eric.

Thanks Fred for the kind post on Waimea Canyon. Blackpowder Muzzleloading eh? that has to be one of the more exotic projects i've seen on Caedes :-)

Hoi Fred
Dank je voor je compliment voor "Sympetrum vulgatum?" Ik denk dat je inderdaad gelijk hebt dat het de vulgatum is.
Ik ben alleen door schade en schande wijs geworden....het is en blijft verdomd moeilijk om de soort echt te determineren..of dat nu insecten, planten of paddestoelen zijn.
Als je er echt de boeken bijpakt kom je er al snel achter dat er vaak meer overeenkomsten als verschillen zijn.
En helaas ontbreekt het me aan genoeg tijd om daar ook nog vele uren studie in te steken.
wat ik dan gedeeltelijk natuurlijk toch stiekem doe.

Hello, Fred! Thank you so much for the compliment on Twins of the Sky.. The sunflower and pine against the blue sky... I am just so happy to share some of the photos that mark my memories with those of you in Caedes because I find many good people are able to share some of their moments with me, and they also enjoy mine. This IS A GREAT THING.. and again, I appreciate your kind comments as well as the vote. ~Ouimon~ Paul W

Thank you so much for your kind words on Sunrise. Sorry it took so long to say thank you it has been a busy holiday weekend. The sunrise from my deck is a great thing if it only lasted longer.

Hi Fred. Very nice to meet another carpenter on this site ! ..and thanks for your kind words and high voting on my little mushroom family...lol..the colours contrast very well as you said. I didn´t dare to pick and eat these mushrooms, however..I was not not sure if it was a "skull & bone shroom" or not..lol.There are maybe twelve different mushrooms in the forests I recognize easily. Thanks again. -- Arne --

Hello, carpenter friend ! I was glad to see your kind comment on Shroom Composition. An unusal angle, but I like to find them..and this one works, I think. Is it possible for you to pick some eatable mushrooms in Holland/Netherlands ? I look forward to the mushroom season every year - it´s such a relaxing and joyful thing to try to find them in the woods.
Thanks for stopping by, Fred. -- Arne --.

Hello, Fred, and thanks for your kind comment on "Swans and lilies". And yes, dad was there too - he's just out of shot on the RH side, lurking in the reeds by the near bank and keeping a close eye on things. He hissed just to let us know that was as near as we were going to get :-)

Good morning Fred, I appreciate you taking the time to comment on Exhilarating. That was a great morning to drive around and just look at all the beautiful scenes , the snow was heavy and stuck to everything, but the roads were clear, which made it even better. It was one of those snow falls that make you wonder, how do snowflakes get that big, Again thanks for looking. Dwight.

You are quite welcome for the comment on the snails. They are abundant in my garden, which many people would not like, but they don't eat my plants, they mainly stay in the soil and eat things that they find there. My friends always tease me about loving the snails, but I just have always had a fondness for them. I've never seen a Roman Snail, so your picture was especially delightful!

Kara :-)

Kia Ora Fred, Many thanks for your kind remarks on my cloud picture, its much appreciated :)

Hey Fred,
Thanks a lot for your kind comment on "Just Sitting There", it is much appreciated,
