I appreciate that you took a look at the site. It is a selection of
images made over the years, many fairly recently; I have almost 300,000
more in the computer, and am using this down time to cull, sort,
rediscover, which led to deciding to put up a site to share. I had been
sharing with DropBox but that became a problem as DropBox started
requiring viewers to pay a fee to get in to see new postings (because my
total was too many megabytes for the free version of DropBox.) The site
has been up since the last few days of March, seems to be getting a
number of viewers...
Pat says Thanks, too. She has been a birder almost thirty years, I
started when we got together in 2006.
