Can't thank you all enough for all the many, many times you've taken a look at my photos, added a very welcome comment, made a Fave or left a kind invite. Just knowing that you give me a chance to share the amazing things in nature that I find locally or just outside my city makes it all seem so much more worthwhile. I know I'm always learning new things from your postings - hopefully, you see a few photos here of something you've never seen before or haven't seen for a long time : ) I wish I was able to keep up with comments and visits - sorry to all those of you whom I don't manage to get back to, for physical reasons and time limit reasons. And this "getting old" really sucks!! Oh, and I just have to chuckle when I see 1,665,823 total views in My Stats - so ridiculous, but totally overwhelming, too, and quite humbling. THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO much!!! Please, no need to comment -oops, looks like I was a bit too late to add that!
