As my interest in photography grew during retirement years, I came to enjoy and learn from the images of my family and friends. To show my appreciation for their work, and to acknowledge their role in my progress (or at least I hope there has been progress) I have asked them to contribute a few images for this album which I post as a tribute to them.
I have included a text box to introduce each contibutors work.
Please sign the guest book, all of us will appreciate your comments. Choose favorites if you wish, first choice and top 3 for instance. You may also enter comments under any single photo.

Enjoyed the project very much Dad. Will there be additions and/or modifications made as new photos warrant?
I don't plan to add, exchange, or otherwise extend the project. I have been more than pleased with the album reception and the contributions by the various photographers has been superb, Dad. - Paul, Fri, 29 Jul 2011 8:06AM
Just OUTSTANDING BB! - harry henkel, Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:08PM
Colonel: Great shots! Too many favorites to mention. You found a wonderful hobby that you excel at. I give the album a "9" (if it included a picture of Lea it would have easily rated a "10"). Peace, Frank - Frank & Marian Sciacchitano, Tue, 26 Jul 2011 3:17PM
There are so many that it is hard to pick the best ,plus 2 more. I'll go back and try to pick the best and place my opinion under each - Dale Wahl, Mon, 25 Jul 2011 5:53PM
Great collection of photography. Thanks Colonel. - Duane Weiss, Mon, 25 Jul 2011 1:35PM
Great job on the album, Col. Thanks for including me, I should have also sent you some of Dee's shots, she has some beauties! - Rockey & Dee, Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:38PM
Fantastic pictures! Thank you so much for sending them. As interesting as the pictures were the identifications of your friends and family which accompanied them - Anne, Mon, 25 Jul 2011 11:27AM
BB,
Great shots. Were you that close to the gators or did you shoot with a telephoto lens?
OK, I fixed the size of the Fairbury and Wedge shots, I had failed to crop before loading. - dad | www.colonelbb.com, Sun, 24 Jul 2011 3:06PM
Dad, the gallery looks good. I'd ask that you add a link for any of the photogs websites, if they've got one, to the little write ups... Also, you might want to select 800 or 1024 ppi etc as the default size (and uncheck full size) so the huge pics don't get out. I don't think I want the full resolution images available for download plus it's really hard to see otherwise. There's a lot of diverse photographers here and I know that each of the folks have a ton of other, even better, work as well as generally super interesting stuff. Thanks for thinking to do this. I may try the same thing eventually when my brain can handle it! :-) - Yarbz | www.yarbz.com, Sun, 24 Jul 2011 2:18PM
