I am glad I found your galleries again. My computer had crashed and lost your site in the favorites list. Your photography is great. Doing some photgraphy myself. Always been a pleasure to view yours. Thanks for sharing your photos and my wife, Linda, and I are glad to have found you again.

Soenda03-Sep-2006 08:11
Thanks so much for stopping by to leave your nice thoughts about our Karlie. We lost her on Wednesday, 8/30. Out of the blue this morning, the older of our two cats died unexpectedly. I tell you, the kindness of other pet owners has been a real comfort. Seeing your "Favorites of Buddy" was an upper I needed---a reminder of the good times that we sometimes forget when these things happen.

In regards to 'Seven Sins Gallery'..
Thank you for you comments!.......... 'Sir'
I was wondering why you brought up 'greed'.
You are to kind to say i'm a special talent but....
I'm not to 'prideful' to accept that compliment!
Nor to 'envious' to say,
your photography has beautiful depth, great color and wonderful clarity!
You must have some pretty nice camera's.
No I'm not so special just a good organizer and arranger.
I have a special eye for the unique!
Have a good evening!
Perplexed indeed!
You made my day!

Thanks for commenting on my dog Ollie the wonder chewer. I love him but he has to learn to channel his chewing in a more appropriate manner (sigh). I'm a sucker for dogs (and kids and other critters) too.

Great pictures, they made me smile tonight.

Great photos! I love how you captured the waterfalls with a slow shutter speed. You are very fortunate to have such beautiful surroundings.
Kelly 13-Apr-2005 23:40
I always thought Vancouver Island / West Coast of Canada was the most beautiful place on earth. I am constantly in awe of the scenery there. Spectacular :o) You really do a wonderful job of capturing the beauty, great scenery and a great eye too.

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful part of the country! I didn't know that Dances with Wolves (one of my favorite movies!) was filmed here! How lucky to be able to hike in such beautiful scenery every day. Someday I hope to visit this area. And you've inspired me to start a dog PAD. I'll have to find another dog, since Skippy hates having his picture taken, too!

Hi prplexd,
Thanks for visiting my gallery, and for gentle words concerning
my dog Mozart, that decided to go to the "Dog's Heaven".
Keep shooting Buddy, that I will consider my friend too, from
now on...
Cheer's from Portugal.
Dean Eaton 09-Mar-2005 14:58
You should know that Buddy has inspired me to make up a continuing story for a very sick friend who will be housebound for at least three months.

I borrow one photo per "chapter", with a credit for your photo's source, and send it along to her. Buddy is searching for his human friend the Old Prospector, and the trail has been a tough one!

These are some of the best dog photos I've ever seen, and Buddy has a lot of personality. And - the lucky pup seems to have a great owner, too.

Thanks... Dean Eaton

Al, i have been researching your "little problem". Sounds like your software is stripping the EXIF data. i looked at the specs for your camera...i should say, the software that comes w/ your camera... do you upload into the Zoombrowser EX program?? we use the same software to upload our pics and the data reamains in tact.

hope u can figure it out...

have been enjoying your galleries!
