Hi Kim! It's been awhile since I have dropped by and I'm so glad I did. You have some fabulous photos and such an eye for photography. I was in a photography challenge group a while back with you if you don't remember me. Anyway, loved your photos and thanks for sharing (I'm glad I kept your site address).
ReplyDeleteHey Kim, it's Kathi from the old photo challenge group. How ironic Gayle stopped by, my old school girlfriend. I have exactly the same comments as Gayle. You make me want to visit Alaska. Your eye for nature is spectacular. I love the eagle pictures. And 5 in one tree........wow! My son has 2 near his home and we're always thrilled to see them. I can't imagine 5 at once. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - your photos are outstanding!!! Love the glimpse into Alaska wildlife & nature & everyday life! :))) Hugs from the opposite side of the NorthPole ;)
