First of all ... a very very HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our friends in the USA.  I'll be looking around some of the forums for those traditional yearly stories.  I love reading about how you all celebrate.

Next off .... Well, a few people have asked me for pics from my hols ... so, I've posted the better ones on the Internet.

You can see them at:

The collections from this trip are under the titles UK and Spain. If you're interested though, there are other collections from just a few of my travels.

If you're an artist, please feel free to add your pics to the group for artesans and artists that I've created:  Here

Take care and celebrate well and if you're not celebrating, like us here in EU, well ... enjoy your day and week.

Namaste and hugs all round

Hello Dr. V.,

How are you?  I'd like to echo your sentiments
to our American friends who are celebrating
Thanksgiving at home and abroad.

It looks like you had a great vacation!  So modest -
all your photos are splendid and reveal your zest
for the finer aspects of life.

Thank you for sharing and stay in touch!

Namaste

Hi there! It looks like you saw a lot of things during your recent trip and had a good time with your new camera and friends. I enjoyed your whole collection. We look forward to getting together with you soon.

Hello Venerina,

I am impressed by your photos, obviously you are having fun with that new camera, but there is more to it than that, if I may express my opinion. (Go for it Robert, get yourself hooted!)

Traditionally, in the well to do books of photography they all insist that a picture should contain if not a person at least an animal for the purpose of giving a dimension or at best a distance relevancy to the scenery. (One great way of making a mother in law think she’s popular! Oups!) But you go beyond this and that is smart.

Going beyond this recommendation, as I see it, it creates a resultant impression of them as one and thereby could be, if set into a painting; portray a personality that can only be yours. Now, that is a success if it were to be correct.

It is a massive advantage to be passionate in the search for life in its particular angles.

Now as to the personality, …. let that be for a future forum all to itself. J

Yours friendly,

Robert.
