Darlene Benson: Hi Dad! I absolutely love the lillies. They are sooooo beautiful. The perennial garden I put in for Mom has lillies in it as well. We are going to add every year with a variety of colors and assortment of lillies. That seems to be my favorite flower after seeing the variety of lillies you've had in your garden in the past years. Keep up the good work with the photo's. I love looking at them. Take care and tell Nancy I said "Hi". Love to you both, Dee August 31, 2009 7:16AM Rose: Hi Bob! Hope you and Nancy are doing well and life is being kind to you both. Really absolutely adore the lillies, I like them all and they are so detailed that you can even see the dew on them. Very nice. It takes beautiful pics like these to remind you of taking time out to indulged what beauty nature has to offer. Can't see these in cities! Thanks Bob.

I have been here a few years also and enjoy looking at different albums. Have a Great Day Di kentuckysapphire September 7, 2007 2:45PM Dee: Hello Dad! Excellent job on the spring/summer pictures. They are sooooooo beautiful. Hope you are having fun making the new flower boxes this year. Looking forward to viewing the flowers next year in the new boxes. Keep up the excellent work. Love to you and Nancy. Love ya, Darlene July 8, 2007 8:48AM Rose: Hello :), I loved all the flowers in your Spring/Summer Album Bob, they are really nice,I especially like all the yellow and white ones, the daisies and the purple and while flowers. Nice colours! Flowers are truely a smiling explosion of God's Grace- so delicate and colourful. The White and yellow ones also remind me of Buttercups, in the UK we have rollings hills full, and everyone runs through them and picks them up. Then, they place them under the chin to see a yellow glow which can either mean you like butter or will have radiant health and even someone smiling on you. Keep up the nice work!! great big regards to you and yours and to Karla hehe out there!!! July 8, 2007 5:52AM Karlamate: Thankyou once again for sending me news od your spring/Summer collection for 2007. It is always a pleasure to see your wonderful photos and to know that you never forget me after all these years. Hugs to you and Nancy and anyone else from old SC days who might read this. Cheers from Australia. Karla July 7, 2007 11:25PM Cimin: Hi Grandpa. Very cute. Caleb really enjoyed seeing the kittens on the computer too. May 20, 2007 11:27AM Dee: Hi Dad, Just viewed the slideshow on the kittens. They are sooooooo adorable. Excellent detail on the gorgeous blue eyes. I bet you are having a blast with them. Enjoy them while they are young and cute. This is when they like to entertain. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the spring/summer shots of the gardens. Love ya, Darlene May 20, 2007 8:41AM Todd: Very nice. Makes you want one or five. May 20, 2007 7:32AM bran: Oh how cute! Makes me want one. Love you guys hope all is well. Miss you May 19, 2007 4:17PM Melissa Ciesco: TOOO Cute!! The music in the background definitely makes you think of kitties playing and having fun! Love you and take care. May 19, 2007 11:58AM Rose: Hi Bob!! Those kittens are absolutely adorable. I wouldn't be surprise if you've been playing with them in your beautiful garden. Growing up, we had two cats in our family and they always had kittens. The ginger cat lived till an old age and the other was a darker one. The ginger cat was always around though. The kittens were hilarious always after anything trailing even a loosened shoe lace ! Really great pics there and you have put focus on the eyes really beautifully.

Bye, Maria www.picturetrail.com/mary-lu August 22, 2001 5:36AM mklue: Happened to catch your "Johny Jump-Up" picture on today's POD archives, so I went to check out your albums. VERY NICE!!! You especially have a talent with flower macros, and I loved the light paintings. The more I looked at your albums, the more I noticed how similarly you and I think artistically!! To compare styles, check out my albums - member name: mklue I bet you'll see more than a few similarities! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. August 20, 2001 5:44AM Jo: Dear Bob, Went straight to the humpbacks...Your photos speak for themselves, just beautiful... The music you have chosen brings it all into such a beautiful harmoney and balance. If I can ever get myself to leave the humpbacks, I promise to venture through your entire portfolio...I may have to stay here for the remainder of the day! Just totally absorbed! Thank-you for the experience. You have a true gift and are so generous to share it with so many. Continued success in your evolved ability to take us through lens of your adventures. Jo (hopigirl) August 16, 2001 11:43AM Amy: Your photos of the gray squirrels and many bird species are nice! The bald eagle photo is stunning. The sandpiper is a ruddy turnstone; the "unknown" appears to be a green heron with his head feathers raised, something I've never seen them do; and "little okra" is a tree swallow. I'm a wildlife biologist and being an avid birder of many years, I'd love to learn how to take photos of them with the large zoom lens we have on our good camera. August 9, 2001 9:24AM Darlene, Bill, & Amanda: Hi Dad(Grandpa) We really loved the pictures of the kittens & humpback whales. Enjoyed going through them. The pictures of the humpback whales brought us back to that wonderful day. We couldn't have asked for a better day to go whale watching. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Love ya!!!! July 28, 2001 9:12AM Becky+Todd: Hello future dad, I love all the picture. I really loved the ones of the little kittens they are so cute.

April 22, 2001 12:36PM heather: Hi there - I just checked out your picture trail as I am interested in wildlife and flora photography and thinking of creating my own picture trail. Could I just point out that a koala is not a bear and is not related to bears in any way at all, being a marsupial. I enjoyed your site.
