  • Hello Ken, My belated congratulations with this feature. A well deserved feature for this album. I enjoyed viewing these pictures, and I especially liked the ones taken from the patio (19 and 21) looking into the valley. Thanks for sharing. I am sorry that it took a while before I had the time to visit you, but due to the many reactions I got on being featured, I could not get to you sooner. I did appreciate your reaction on the Autumn Delight album very much. If you are interested, I have just made a new album at the evanwely site called Last days of Summer. Have a nice day and greetings from Holland, Els (wely246/evanwely)

  • Good morning from Portugal, and congratulations for a nice collection being featured. I am late but have been on a 4 months vacation in Finland. Had a wondeful time with family and friends there. Your collection from Napa Valley and the Mondavy Winery brings back good memories from a nice trip we made as a group to your country years ago. Had to make a choise of wines for the group and the choise was Mondavi - and a very good one too. Even today can remenber the feeling we all had for that outstanding choise we had made. Thanks again for making my day again. Greetings and thanks for your visit to my site too. Antti, Nazare, Portugal

  • Hi Ken. So you have to wonder no more, you were right on. South Carolina, Murrell's inlet in and around Myrtle Beach. I've got some new ones not posted yet. Just noticed the one's from New England you have and can't wait to get a look at them. I love New England, Just seems to be an abundance of Color there although I haven't been able to get there (YET ;).

  • Congratulations by this recognition of Webshots so deserved my dear friend. Spain is land of wines. We have almost all the types and varieties of wines and the landscape of the vineyards is spectacular in the autumn. This year I cannot, but in next years I will try to make a album of this type. Benefit of this so special day for you Ken. Any corner of the world will be able today to enjoy its excellent photographies. Be happy Ken, please, be very happy. Best regards from Spain. Jesus.

I love this album of Napa Valley -- it is so appropriately named. I made many trips to Napa when I had relatives living there and have visited the winery in your photos! It has been a number of years though since I have been back and thoroughly enjoyed this trip down memory lane! Thanks again for your visit! Jayne from Arkansas

My country, Piedmont, is a very old european wine country (Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo) and see your shots from new world of quality wine is a little curiosity for me. Your shots are very well done, and now I visit the other beautiful photos of yours. Thank you, It's an honour for me to be in your list of favourite members.

  • Hello Ken. Just had to comment on this wonderful album of yours. I was drawn to it perhaps because I am a wine drinker. Nothing sophisticated I'm afraid, cheap plonk my husband picks up in France - he's a long distance truck driver. My favourite wine though is Italian, through and through. Back to your album - shot #13, the outside view of the stainglass window, is fabulous and I loved the shot of the wine glasses too. In fact all your pics are great. Well done and thans for sharing.
