Happy New Year to you too dear friend...Sorry that I haven't been around much here in Fotki, I thought I would have some free time this winter but it's been a very busy time instead. Thank you so much for your lovely Xmas card and for thinking of me.
Hugs, Laura

Sorry that I forgot to mention in my first message just how absolutely beautiful the painting is on this page!!!  My favorite color and a butterfly as a bonus!!!  They still totally amaze me.  Donna Mohn Frost

Hi John .... How have you and your family been?
Just commented on three of your birds. I'll do some
more next time. My fingers are sore and I can't
write much at one time.

"If you surrender more completely
to the moments as they pass, you live
more richly those moments.

Just for you dear friend...

Great series at Magic Wings, my friend!

Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful Basset Waddle and Oz-Fest photos. It looks like it was a great and fun time....I'm jealous! If only I lived a little closer (Texas is a looooong way from New York).

I snuck a peak at your "Champ Album" and had some wonderful memories of horse shows from my teenaged years. I showed Arabs and Morgans and did do some hunter classes with them as well. Those were the days!

Thanks again for sharing!

thanks so much for sharing!!! I will be back to see your photos in future! I really enjoyed them. They have such beauty and provoke thought about how beautiful the world is...

John,

Thanks for your comment on my rustic house shot. Should you find yourself here one day, let me know.
