3. CP, those are stunning
You really ought to look into publishing your beach pics, or at the very least, selling them as stock photos. They are phenomenal. :)

9. My dear LynzM.....
I thank you so much! It truly means a lot......

I've had a number of people tell me what you're telling me....

Perhaps I will go into the Photo Forum for some advice, since I have NO idea how I would do such a thing.....

Your praise is incredible.....I appreciate it and you a lot! :loveya: :hug:

13. My dear Shine......
Well, since it is completely impossible for me to be up at sunrise, sunset pics are the only way for me to go!

Talented? Maybe.....I just point the camera at the sky, and it does the rest....

Thank you so much!

Yes, I did get some birds....I always want to, since I know how much you enjoy them!

Of course, I enjoy them as well......But today, the shore birds were too far away, and they weren't as interesting as they usually are....Oh well!

But at least the sky made up for those lacks!

And how! Thanks for coming by......

34. Hello, Nicole!
I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting before!

Thanks for visiting my photo thread.....I love doing these, and every week or so, I get down to the beach and have a ball!

It was truly amazing to see all this in person! The shorebirds and the waves were unimpressive today, but the sky more than made up for those!

I appreciate your kind comments!

I thank you for your very kind comments! I felt number 2 was also very good...esp. with that lucky bird I caught!

I feel very fortunate that I have the beach and the horizon lines......

But sometimes I miss the really high mountains that you have....

Oh well......we can't have everything!

Just think, move to California's coast, and have views like these routinely!

Of course, today, all is gray and gloom.......but never mind that!

But some days it isn't.......

Today, it is all cloudy and overcast......if that helps you any......

I am quite sure you have some lovely views there in Denver....

All you have to do is look .........

57. We do have great views. I won't complain about that
Sometimes the views are breath taking. On a clear day you can see from Long's Peak to Pikes Peak and this in the middle.

Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.....

You just might want to have your own photo thread one of these days.....

Esp. if you have a couple more like that one hanging around!

And you know, I'd come in your thread just as you came into mine.....

My goodness, you take my breath away.....

Thank you so much.....

I don't believe we have been properly introduced...it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance...

I just record what's there....the beauty is from someplace else....

Perhaps god, perhaps mother nature...who knows? But it moves me so much...

And it is my pleasure,and truly a necessity for me, to bring these to you, and to anyone who cares to look.
