Hello Eti Thank you so much for the visit to my Sunflowers. That is Russian Giant variety. I hope next year to have every variety. Bad drought here this year.Only the giants did well. Yes that is a Green Spider..he was a first for me. Have a close up shot in the Cold Comfort Album to be moved to the Sunflower Album. Your take on each photo gave me titles for them now. I didn't have time to title when I posted ..your impressions make great titles..thank you! Keep up those great photos..I'll be back to visit. Carmen/Texas

said Amypoo11 2006.04.01 at 08:36:32 PST

Hi Eti, you love what you see and your pictures do reflect this love! The rows of tree trunks on #41 remind me of the forest of the foraging bears, which is one of my personal favorites. Thank you for sharing and best wishes from Vienna (Austria), Vera

said veralebail 2006.03.30 at 03:47:25 PST

Thanks Eti for writing in my two latest guest books and I truly appreciate the things you said. It's one thing to go away and take, perhaps, 1000 photos but it's a completely different matter when you get home and have to then sort, edit and title every photo before sticking it into a relevant album! It tends to take the gloss of things a bit and this is why it is so nice to get comments such as yours afterwards. Thanks again and a good old Aussie hug, Peter

said georgieboy98 2006.03.26 at 04:30:27 PST

I have just started a group on yahoo, called The Webshots User Group, the idea is that we can all keep in touch, help each other, chat and also promote our new albums.The group is only open to webshots members. Would love to hear your views on the idea. If you would like to join the group heres the link, when there just click on the join group button. http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/thewebshotsusergroup Kindest regards Keith & Babs

said petergehr 2006.02.07 at 01:03:25 PST

Hi Eti and it's been a treat to view this album again. We have a few of these - lantana, bourgainvillea (though I've never seen it in lavendar) jasmine, sunflowers and one or two others. I think we have similar climates. Thanks for looking at my Yet Another Local Beach album which I ended up by reloading as Webshots told me it would take them rather a long time to find the missing photos. Good job I had back ups! Love and hugs, Peter

said georgieboy98 2006.02.01 at 23:48:39 PST

Hello Eti! Best wishes to you for a joyful and successful year of 2006, with all your incredible talent and wonderful arts you have keep sharing with us, as perfect as this amazing album of true beauties! Thank you! Warm greetings from CS!

Hi Eti. On August 28th my tulip album was featured. Due to the overwhelming amount of guestbook entries I won't be able to look into your albums at the moment. I want to thank you for your kind words. Groeten, Mieke

said miekesphotos2 2005.09.03 at 03:51:12 PDT

Another beautiful album Eti and it portrays a Florida that we in Australia never see! Its great to have this view of it, away from all the hustle and bustle of the coast etc. Gorgeous photography that is very much appreciated. Thanks for your comments on my West Aussie Heritage album, in particular the haunted room. In fact the house is rated No 5 in Australia's most haunted homes list and the owner, who was our guide for the day, told us how - after buying the property - they had to sleep in that house while their new home was being built. Many's the time they would wake up in the morning to find the dressing table had been moved to the other side of the room, pictures thrown on to the floor in the living room and, on one occasion a deadly, but very dead, snake in the middle of the bedroom floor - it had quite obviously been killed to stop it from getting at them, but they were never able to find out how or by whom!! Spooky eh? Betty felt a very definite presence but I must be a disbeliever because I didn't feel a thing! Brrrrrrr - gone chilly all at once!! LOL Bye now, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.08.09 at 03:29:48 PDT

Wow, Eti! Excellent images from you once again! The first one is incredible! Just great! Hug Hunter for me please! Candi

Hi Eti, From my newest album about A New World, you asked about patience---it was the spider I was referring to this time, but a nice catchy question anyway. How are you? This is a gorgeous album you have, still enjoy watching your pictures come up on my screen. Very nice indeed. Thanks for your note. Best regards from this southern Oregon Coast. Ron

said rboise 2005.07.12 at 18:20:17 PDT

Many thanks for sharing as well as a big thanks for those dear comments on my feature album a week ago, so greatly appreciated and made my day very special! Thanks! Take care dear Eti and have a bright and smiley day, amy :)

Hello Again Eti, this is another fantastic album. I must specify the pic #2 with the white jasmine growing on the fence and this nice green background and your special framed blue sky in pics 24 and 25, very special and appealing. Have a great day, Yan/Ottawa

Hi Eti: I just toured some of your albums, and especially enjoyed this one around Florida. That is a fantastic shot of the &quot;Tree Orchid&quot;. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics. Don/BC, Canada

said donkeyquod 2005.06.14 at 07:14:19 PDT

Hi Eti, I thank you up front for your real nice comments in my Fungi album, my, those were quite welcome. So, back to back decided it was a good time to visit your site and I'm glad I did. Downloaded #1, 3, 13 and 31 in this album, quite beautiful-all. The frames really bring out the subtle beauty in your photos, I have to congratulate you on your wonders of photography. You say that you've again taken up the hobby of photography, but you really never leave it, most just don't find the time or have forgotten their cameras many times before at the most opportune time. I see a shot or two I'd like to be taking with a camera, only not to have my camera with me. Its really quite aggravating. The next day doesn't cut it either, because the sun will never be in the same place twice including the clouds, wind and weather. If ever you get a chance to catch that one GREAT picture, stop the car and take the picture, you'll never have to wonder about it again. The Ocala album, where you spoke of the open cleared area, appeared to be a clearcut of ALL to me...if it were here, this would be called a 'selective cut'. It promotes a very large 'fire trail', because there's nothing for the fire to burn when it runs to this open area. This might be what they're doing here, but without asking the folks that contract this out, you'll never know for sure. Most government agencies won't volunteer anything, so you have to ask and they have to tell you because you're paying their wages out of your taxes. I do appreciate getting your invitations because I know your photography is right on the cutting edge. How could you use this hobby/vocation within your classroom activities. You know what they say, &quot;a picture is worth a thousand words&quot;. Best regards and thanks for all these visual records. Ron/Oregon Coast

said rboise 2005.06.12 at 09:13:54 PDT

Ciao Eti! I'm so happy to get support from photogrphers whome I hold in such high esteem like you. You're the queen of the macrophotogrphy in this album. I am speechless in front of the wonders you can realize with your special skillness of giving result to flower subjects with sun light: 11 and 13 are enchanting, and then also 26, 33, 34 and 35. I simply adore photo number 21. Thank you again. Have a great week-end. Ale :-)

Hi Eti! Thanks for the congratulations on my featured album. I enjoyed viewiing your album of Florida beauty. This was especially enjoyable because you captured photos of things we don't normally think about when we think of Florida. We were at Disney World in March and lived in Titusville many, many years ago. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend. Sharon from Missouri

Hello Eti! I visited several of your albums and I enjoyed your feeling for detail, colour and light. In your album &quot;Florida...& quot; I especially liked 'Sunflower', 'Alamanda' and 'Tree Orchids'. I hope to see more of these in the future. Freddy (Belgium)

said freddycb 2005.04.28 at 10:55:54 PDT

Hi Eti, Thanks for inviting me to view your Florida album. It makes me homesick for Maui where we also have bougainvillea and palms. You have good focus on your groups of flowers which is something I struggle with. Also, the frames enhance the photos. Thanks again for sharing. Janine from Edmonds, Washington

said janruss316 2005.04.28 at 08:21:46 PDT

Ciao Eti! Thanks for your nice invitation to see your wonderful albums! I love these flowers and the saturated colors in your photos; my compliments also for compositions and frames. My favorites are &quot;tracks into and out the pines&quot; and &quot;lavendar bougainvilla&quot;. &quot;Sunrise in the grass&quot; is a dreaming picture. Best Regards. Luca (Italy)
