Michele . . . You're SUCH a sweetheart!! Thanks for the support and thanks for missing us. We'll be back . . . and possibly much sooner than I had thought originally. We've had some issues of a serious nature arise (you can e-mail for details) but mostly we've almost taken care of things and just so you know . . . we likely miss you guys a lot more than we are missed! Photography has been a therapeutic escape for us and we'll certainly get back to it soon! :)
Warmest Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
Thanks for the 7! Woooo Hoooo!

Ahhh! Peter looks great after a bath.
I love this image and I miss both you and Marlyce ....
It seems like forever since you have posted images... I do appreciate the checking in when possible but no one seems to be posting much this past week, nor commenting much either...
WE NEED THE CHASTAIN FAMILY !
Even Paul pulled all of his images, and altho there are many , many 'new' members... I miss the old...I mean my first friends too ... I hope you are All well and happy !
Best wishes,
Michele~

That's incredibly kind of you. I have left 2003 photos up to remind me of how much UF has helped me to improve. I have NO DOUBT that you will one day be able (or better) in regards to this kind of work. Use this site to learn! It REALLY helps! Always comment on what you do and don't like - and why. Always listen (but don't - don't always agree) . . and you'll have the greats - like Ansel Adams - shaking in their boots!! Welcome to UF Mike!!

Doyle, I don't know how you do so many different things so well- this is really just stunning. I have never seen anything like it. The clarity colours and closeness- the drops wonderful.
