Again a Canon! Do the exchangeable lenses of your 'old' camera fit for the new one? I see you wandering through and around the house looking for a nice shot! :-) You took wonderful close-ups of the Louisiana Iris and the different Amaryllis, and the cover picture is just breathtaking! My typing skills are for sure not a s good as yours. I managed to type you one message, and as I sent it arrived 3 new messages from You! :-o I am glad your offices are back to New Orleans. A friend told me, there is still a lot to restore in New Orleans. Yes new cameras take time. I should be looking for a new one. Mine is now over 5 years old and it is difficult and VERY expensive to get new batteries. Thanks for looking at Yoav. I think I will miss Yoav's first free walk. In a weeks time they will go with him to New York to visit friends. He sure will not wait for me when there is all America waiting for him! :-) And I think you turned out very well, even without some pictures with your first steps. Now your hair gets the color of mine, slowly slowly you are ready to become a grandfather! And now I go back to my mail. I am just about to finish the mail of the feature day and then are only 48 new ones left!! :-) Have a wonderful time, enjoy every single day of those. They will be remembered forever!- Galit

Thank you so much for your kind words in my featured album, Ted. It made my day. I had so many reactions, that it is almost impossible to have a look at your pictures at the moment. I hope to return later to your albums. Groeten, Mieke

Sorry, Ted! I was so happy with your guestbook message that I didn't notice you had a new album! And a new camera! Good for you, my friend! This may be a test, but you have already produced some really good shots. I esp loved the flower macros. Keep having fun with your new toy!! It seems your are going to be really busy these days! :-) GB, Orly

Hi, Ted; Thank you for the kind comments you left in my guestbook about my featured album! I didn't realize I was featured until I received an avalanche of e-mails--all from Webshots! Thanks again :) Carmela.

I know they are going to be incredible! Thanks for sharing my dear friend...best of luck with that new camera!! Take care...hugs galore...Darlene

Ted, I'm glad you like your new camera - we do have lots of memories to capture in the upcoming years. ENJOY - Connie

Hi Ted, I'm so out of touch I didn't even know they made a 30D. But now that you have one, I know we can look forward to the technology bringing us beautiful photos. Best of luck with that new camera. Alan

<font color="navy"> Hi Ted, I can't believe I'm first to comment on your 'test album' for your new TOY, er tool of the trade! Great work and I see you're getting the hang of it very quickly. It was fun to see what subjects you found to practice with, including the 'man behind the camera' - great shot as is the one of your group at work - I'm guessing a timed exposure. Now I can't wait to see your newest album ... off I go. </font><br> <center><font color="red"> Judy aka L@dybug, Florida </font></center>
