Thank you so much for your birthday wishes and kind comments and acknowledgment of me. I also appreciate your “praising” my “regularity”. I’ve committed to my readers to do a weekly Picture to Ponder and so, out of my “saying so”, I do it.

I can’t believe I started out at 4 times a week, then two. Have you been around that long…. as a subscriber I mean? One blog you might enjoy that’s super regular is
Lani Garity’s http://www.lanipuppetmaker.blogspot.com

I appreciate your sharing that I’ve had an influence on the way you and your husband now look at and photograph nature. And thanks for the laugh… your now “seeing faces – tikis – everywhere.” I’m grinning again when I re-read
that comment. Why not post some of the photos on your blog. And, be sure and let us know when you do.

Have a great Christmas and a delightful, joyful, healthy and prosperous New Year.

With love and appreciation,

Sheila

Happy Birthday! You exemplify a young persona to me – always exploring, sharing freely, trying new things. And you’re so regular about your postings, which is something I’m striving to emulate on my own blog, and not getting anywhere near. This post is really spot-on – what we determine to be our reality BECOMES our reality, so better be careful what we think and say about it.

I’m missing loved ones on this holiday, too, but feeling them near as I go about gardening, creating beaded snowflakes, and decorating for Christmas.

You have certainly influenced the way my husband Matt and I look at and photograph nature. We are seeing faces – tikis – everywhere.

Thanks for being who you are! You grace the world.

With appreciation and love,
Sheila

Thanks for your comments. I watched your first video. I was impressed. It’s a great video and halfway through I started laughing. The underside of the first router looks like a face. If you’ve been subscribing to Picture to Ponder for a while, you know I see faces in a lot of things.

Thanks for your query on my Point and Shoot Photo Courses – http://www.pointandshootphotocourses.com. I will be setting the schedule for the next sessions sometime next week. I appreciate your interest in informing your group about the course. I do have an affiliate program. I will PM you.

Thanks,
Sheila

I feel inspired by your words and photos. It is tough to walk here in the cold of winter but just the same my eye is getting keener throughout my travels.

Thanks for the inspiration,

Rick

PS: I run a woodworking forum called routerforums and my blog called routerworkshop.net. I have been talking about producing custom made paint boxes decorated with the water slide decals. These decals use photographs to create the finishing touches to the woodworker’s creations.

I was looking for some lessons for the point and shoot camera operator and I was intrigued with your tele-seminars. Can you give me more information?

Most of my readers are woodworker first but most likely own a point and shoot camera. Can I advertise your next course to my group? If so please advise?

Again thanks for being on the web.

Regards, Rick
