Hey globetrotter,

I see you're off again! That looks like a great trip. Hey when you're in the fotki office could you take a photo of my photo on the wall (you know from that contest ages ago) if it's still there? Look forward to the pics of you and Stein in the good old US of A. Keep us posted with your plans.

Peter

Hi Peter!!!

Hey,,, buddy!!! Getting those photographs of the 33 winners of the Fotki Photo Contest is way up on my list as one of the reasons I have planned to Go to the Fotki Office in Times Square NYC !!!

Of, course it will be great to meet the staff... but I remember promising my friends that I would get those shots someday!!! Well, when Stein and I visit there in May we will do that... (I missed out!!! / I was #34) Only the first 33 were winners '-)))

Hope you are fine,,, been busy with spring stuff... have a great weekend... Gary

PS,,, sorry I haven't been into all the photo contests for a year or so,,, besides the fact that it got too time consuming for me, it also got to political for my tastes... But it's nice to see that others are enjoying it so much... and that's what it should be about for those who partake,,, fun not more stress... All the best!!! Gary

Hi back at ya Gar - I know this weather has just got to let up for us sooner or later and hopefully sooner. It has rained since (I think Friday) and we had showers again yesterday and today - come see some of the few pics I took on my way home from work on Monday evening (After the rain album) I took them at Lake Whitney just down the road from me - the waterfall was so powerful and so brown - I was surprised by the color....
and with the news these past days from Virginia Tech - very depressing - so today I had to make something fun for little Matt - come see the chocolate pops for his birthday party.
Hugs from me to you
