Joe, I looked at the rest of your photos. To say I am shocked at the development along Big Redfish Lake would be an understatement. My Lord, will it ever end?

Thanks for the snaps - looks like you had an empty seat in the boat. Please call me next time.

Wow!
Those pix are gorgeous!
Thank you.

The pine tree shot is one of my all time favorites...I can't stop looking at it!

It is even more interesting if you tilt you head to the side so that it looks like a Christmas Tree with skinny arms. I have some more photos from this evening at Grayton which I will post later.

The Pine Tree Picture needs to be on my wall somehow. What a great shot.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Smiling JOe

Maybe it will make it onto my 2007 Calendar. Until then, just save the larger copy and make it an 8"x10" and print it.

You are exactly right. That is a perfect, and I do mean perfect, Christmas Tree. I never would have tilted my head to look at it if you had not mentioned it. I would love to have a watercolor painting of that for my lake house (that we only have the lot for and no house yet). Great Photo!

Blue Mountain Beach is the new Seagrove. Who knew?

SJ, you are so gifted! I know that I should know this, but are you a professional photographer? The photos are beautiful, but there's more to it - there's a lot of heart and soul in them. I've always guessed that you are a realtor of contractor. I know I could read all of your posts to find out, but then I'd feel like a stalker.

I really admire you - your artwork, your knowledge, your kindness, your straightforwardness.

I hope my husband and I have the opportunity to meet you some day (if he'd be willing to as his introverted, but wonderful, self).

Great picture! I think violin more than Christmas tree.

Smiling JOe

Thanks all! I think most people could be thought of as a good photographer down here, surrounded by so much beauty.

BR, I am a Realtor by trade.

I agree with everyone. The lake picture is now my favorite. Have you ever thought about doing a SoWal calendar. The lake pic would be January. Start the new year with Peace and tranquility.

But don’t forget the sideway Christmas tree with freaky skinny arms .

Smiling JOe

It is almost winter like, even thought the temps were in the upper 60's yesterday morning. I did think about putting together a SoWal calendar, but much too late in the year. I would like to have something available by the end of Oct '06 for 2007.
