Dear Thelma, This is an interesting album. I mailed it to a friend of mine who visited the Papuas too and as she is a very good nurse she did some treatments over there and after one day there was a queu. Soon I will have a look at your China album. For as concerning my travels; in general they last 4 to 5 weeks. In the meantime I have to work and earn the money moreover as I have family in Italy I have to go there too. With my bet regarfds, Heleen

Hi Thelma, I'm glad the Tanna photos warmed up your winter. No tour, we just went and enjoyed the place. Maybe a bit like PNG, at least it is as far as the malaria goes - which I got about 10 days after we got back. How's Don? Steve

<font color="#000080" > Hi, you have several great albums of very exotic places. I envy you! The yearly round trip to Tasmania must be taxing. I now "know" two people born in Tasmania: you and the late great actor Errol Flynn. Coincidentally, one of my Webshots friend (gladysclancy), an Australian, is at this very moment visiting Tasmania. <font color="#a00000" > Greetings from Florida, Paul. <font color="#000080" > P.S. Thank you for your kind words on my Florida birds album. The Reddish Egret is one of four egrets we have here in Florida and the pictures in all of my Florida birds albums are all of wild birds photographed in Florida within 500m of my car and represent less than 25% of those present in here during the winter months. During the summer months, however, most of these same birds head north along with our American and Canadian seasonal residents. As abundant and easy to photograph as the birds are during the winter, that’s how scarce and difficult they become during the summer months. In the natural areas, the heat, humidity and insects make that adventure anything but easy or pleasurable. </font>

Thank you for your pictures from Papua New Guinea. We spent five years in that colorful land coming back to the States in 1986. Your pictures brought back many memories. John Murphree

I would love it if you would drop by and tell me what you think about my work. Thanks again, J.A.McGraw

Hi, Thelma, when I need inspiration for further photographic expeditions, I take a peep at your albums. It works everytime ! Just wanted to let you know that I have a new album about the ruins of Hampi which, in the 16th century, was the capital of the powerful and famous Vijayanagar empire. Take a look. Best wishes Suresh Krishna, India

said suresh_krishna 2004.02.27 at 19:29:03 PST

Hi again, In the event I did use any of your photos I would naturally say where I found them. You may have more visitors admiring your work in a few months! Paul

said koropaul 2004.01.11 at 19:24:10 PST

Thelma, These PNG pic are the best! I lived there in 1982-84 and again in bougainville 87-88 a total of 3 years. I am sharing some thoughts and insights on the SW Pacific in March'04 for the local Community College. Do you mind if I refer people to your collection? I would like to use a pic or two if I may? Thanks, Paul

said koropaul 2004.01.04 at 13:17:47 PST

Hi, just a quick note as I have not looked at all the pics yet. I lived in PNG from 1964-1982 (Lae). Thankls for the chance to view your photo's Ron MIENTJES Bundaberg QLD

Could you help me to find photo's of the paradise birds of New Guinea? T.U. in advance. gr. Joop

said 2002.10.26 at 14:07:37 PDT

Hi Thelma! Thank you for leaving a nice comment in my album. Yes, I used to live one block away from the Mormon Temple in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was just starting to get creative with photography at that time (3 years ago), nd got lucky with a flaming sunset. Your Papua New Guinea is a spectacular album. Where are you from? One of these days I will travel to Australia, especially that I have enough mileage for a free ticket now, and may be take a swing at Papua New Guinea. Once again, Thank you for the compliment on my album. Have a nice day.

Very interesting and informative. Tks for sharing.

said danien 2002.09.24 at 12:09:24 PDT

Hi Thelma, Thank you for signing my guestbook! And I wish already a good trip to Malaysia. The main way to get to Taman Negara is to take a train / bus to Jerantut from the central busstation in KL. From Jerantut you have to get a bus or taxi (taxi is very cheap) to Kuala Tembeling. From there you can get a boat (nice rivertrip from 3 hours). But you can also go by taxi to Kampung Kuala Tahan (same price but only 1 hour)

said luckylucky119 2002.09.21 at 10:43:20 PDT

What a spectacular display of photography. You must have had an oustanding time. Wow....not fair! Cheers Greg (keep in touch)

Your photos are wonderful. They captured the essence of your trip- how different our world is! Each cultural group adds richness to the fabric of diversity. You did a fine job with these photos.

Hi Thelma, very enjoyable, I don't think I would like to meet one of those guys in a dark place, My Nephew worked over there untill they attacked him, & only for the guard dog he would be dead. Although it looks very colourful. Did you enjoy your visit there? I will answer your other note tomorrow. Jeanie.
