Hello Jill, Another fine album! I really liked the hornets nest, loved the frost pics too. Hope this finds you doing well, I had fun walking thru your woods. Thanks Carolyn

Hi Jill, Had to have 16 with the periwinkle on the forest floor. Wish I could join you in one of your walks. Never mind I can follow you through here and have a nice cuppa while I'm at it. Lovely album, thanks for sharing Love and Hugs Chris and Jay

Hi dear Jill, you've had the opportunity to get out into your beloved wood - good for you! I'm hoping that means your head is feeling better and the 'cobwebs' are gone! We're chilly here today; it never got above 48F. It would be good for a walk in the woods but we don't have any nearby. It's a good day for Olympic sports on TV! Husg, Judy

Hello my friend, thanks for the GB and those lovely kind words, it is pouring with rain here but I think we can do with it, anyway it keeps me indoors answering all these GB,s, I like you have fav woods I always feel relaxed and happy just wandering through them, take care and will talk soon no doubt, hugs and Adirondacks (Just been to Claudia's GB so you can have them as well)

Hi Jill, thank you for you lovely message. I always think now I am free for doing what I want - and very quickly find myself again running after the lost time. I am so happy I found this album. The cover picture is gorgeous! I like your views at the hidden beauties of nature! The iced weed is one of those too; and the wasp's nest, the oaks in pic #8, the great view at the edge of the woods. Your close-ups are brilliant and crystal clear some of them like microscopic views. Photography shows amazing things! That little tit in pic #34 enlightens the picture and my day too. We had today 70 mm of rain. . . .! And at last I enjoyed to see your beautiful family, especially #2. What a shot! Everyone is smiling! Jill, it is always a pleasure to visit here! Have a wonderful day! - Galit from Israel

Hello Jill, what stunning and beautiful images! Excellent close up shots, great colours, and your compositions are first class. Viewing this album has been a real treat; cheers from Keith in OZ.

Nice additions Jill and that sure was one very cold morning. Very nice to see though, especially when it is quite hot at this end. I often wonder about people who say they don't take photos in winter because there is nothing there to take - you have certainly given the lie to that. Nice work, Hugs, Peter

Hello Jill! We love your new additions! Indeed, we are enjoying the same nature wonders in little details! But also the hoarfrost in your global views is so beautiful (pictures 26 and 29!) It seems you have very low teperatures, too! Thanks for your nice messages in our hoarfrost album! Love and hugs, Henri and Käthi

Hi Jill I know you love this place and yesterday the sun shone and would you believe that I was also in one of my favourite woods too. and the ground was frost covered just the same, I love that shot of the ice, take good care my friend and wrap up warm in this cold weather, Ken xx

Hi Jill, I love the new additions in your album. The Fungi, is such a beautiful photo, you have done well to get so close up to it, I put it on full screen and it looks great. As well of the rest of your album. Take Care. Thanks for sharing. Ray and Eileen. (UK)

Hi Jill, what GREAT additions to this album. They are all beautiful, but I'm very partial to #s25 & 28, the Frosted Holly and Bramble. They are truly wonderful. I'm off to spend the day with a newly widowed friend (1 wk ago today), will take my camera, but not sure I'll have a chance to use it. Have a good day ... Hugs, Judy

This is a great little album Jill and so good to see you all together as a family - precious moments to treasure and I suspect that the cover shot will be printed out, framed and hung up in a prominent spot somewhere in your house. I also loved the mpeg by the way and hope you were able to get my entry in your guest book for that. I must say you were all extremely well in tune and will assume that the wine was a factor in that production! Whatever, it was very well done and you are certainly making full use of the features on your camera. Best wishes to you all for 2006, love and hugs, Peter

Hi Jill, What fun walking with you and your family through the woods. Are you crazy out there walking in the cold???????? I'm a warm weather walker, so have to wait until May or so, to walk outside. I love the Fuji photos. Your Macros are better than mine. We are expecting snow, just like you. 4 inches or more. Great shots dear lady. Love the photos. Sharon the crazy lady.

Hi Jill! Great album, cant imagine seeing so much green, but it does look chilly, judging by the coats. I se you found fungi (grin) arent they great? Thanks for sharing your walk! - hugs, claudia

Hello Jill! What a nice card for season's wishes! You look all so happy there, may have been cold? Your wood looks just like ours now, without snow but a beautiful carpet with leaves! We are astonished that you still fond fungi! The wasp nest is cute, like an animal climbing on a branch... The "Edge of the wood" is a especially nice picture! Best wishes also to you! Henri and Käthi

Hi Jill,a lovely album and good to see you all out together for a woodland walk on Boxing day,I think I'd have enjoyed a good walk after all that extra calories at Christmas,loved the shot of you all enjoying the mulled wine in the woods,now that's what I call style,hope you had a wonderful Christmas,Regards,Rod.

chrisrod100 2005.12.28 at 11:07:31 PST
Can I REALLY be first to comment on your 'Boxing day walk'??? Isn't it fantastic to get out in the wood for some fresh air and exercise to walk off the Christmas pudding? Our Christmas day was quite different in that we had to abandon the long sleeves and find something less warm to wear; it heated up to around 75F in the afternoon! Enjoy your week and have a very Happy New Year. ... Warm Florida hugs, Judy
