Album Description:

Holland Michigan is located in the Southwest part of the state on the shores of Lake Michigan. The Holland Harbor with it's "Big Red" lighthouse and adjacent beach are very scenic and have special meaning for me, since I grew up there.

  • Thanks for the invite Randy. Only 1200 pictures, you say? Then for sure there are more albums to come. I have posted six from my trip and have about four more to go. I look forward to seeing the rest of yours because they are always so incredibly wonderful. I still think you need to do a coffee table book of your pictures and poems. I enjoyed this immensely.

  • Randy, Thanks for the invite. This album is gorgeous. I really love the one sunset in frame 21. I don't get to see many sunsets where I live, so all I have to do is take a peek every so often in your albums for these beautiful sunsets. Thanks for sharing your talent. Darla

  • Well Mr. R, wondered where you disappeared to, there's usually something of an album in the waiting to see in my inbox, but not lately...downloaded the first photo. An interesting color, sometimes I wish this State had some colorful structures on our coastal plains. Thanks for uploading. ron

  • This is a beautiful album. Since I was born in Dearborn Michigan, thru your pictures I can see other parts of the state in which I was born. Thank you so much for sharing them with the rest of us. BTW, isn't it true that when you are raised around water, you have to be around water all the time. I find that with myself. Your friend, Kathy

  • Hi Randy, Great that you visited Holland harbour, I had not seen any photos of this place. It is very quiet over there. Big Red is dominating the harbour and the ships are sailing on the sea. You conveyed the charm of these quiet scenes very well. And your sunsets are as usual superclass. Thanks for the invite, Tjebbe

  • thank you for sharing this album, randy. i can totally relate to your attachment to this particular beach, as i grew up near rialto beach on the olympic peninsula of washington, and have those same feelings of returning home each time i have the opportunity to visit there. funny, but the beach always looks the same, just as it did when i was a kid. perhaps that's what makes it so special, the one constant in our ever-changing world. thanks for sharing your journey home with all of us. -k8

  • Hey Randy. Thanks for the invite to your album. Sorry I haven't had as much time to pop back and view your albums as I'd like too............and I see you've been busy. Hopefully I'll have more time now Autumn has set in!! Knowing how you like your sunsets, if you get chance check out my album http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/560990976XJzNLo "Sunset after the storm". The cloud formations were spectacular. All the best. Wendy

  • Dear Randy, Fantastic album of Holland Harbor! You grow up on a very beautiful place! Why did you leave such a lovely place, I would stay there forever! Thanks for the invitation, I thought you were in my Holland :-) but your Holland is great a super place! Big hug, Joke

  • Hi Randy, Cool album. Enjoyed it. I stopped by to see your streamlining. I uploaded a few new video clips to my 10000 lights album, then tried to remove one and it locked the whole album up. Totally useless, including the link from the current Members Choice in Travel>>Arizona. I filed another complaint, but I will tell you my fuse is running pretty short with WS. Earlier I checked out a couple of my friends sites on Fotki. I hadn't been there for a while. I will tell you what! Their current slideshow blows WS's away!.....like a hurricane blast. Its full screen photo if you hit the F11 key. The controls also blow WS away! Wow. You need to check it out. Think I will investigate membership. Rick/Arizona

  • Randy, I thought you had a whole lot more albums?? I know you did...where did they all go to? I just read your email. what in the world is going on?? You mentioned swtsoftcountry ....she is your friend, but definately NO friend of mine. just back in the end of September, out of the blue she starts writing to me cruel and nasty messages and everytime I answered her and defended myself, it got worse....so I started ignoring her. I feel she is another sharon, especially with what she has written on her profile page about it's her job to make everyone smile... She had never written to me before and why all of the sudden out of the blue she did, I'll never figure it out...anyway, what's this with sharon?? sharon has a screw loose. she quotes all of these poems and things from the bible, yet she is such a horrid person.. Terry aka trcowboy, a very religous well like man here on ws, who is dying a slow painfull death, wrote to sharon and told her that is was not right for the way she had treated me and that it should have been private between her and I and WS...he wrote to her and said a real christian person such as she professes to be would never have acted in such a manner. she wrote him back and said he was right and she would not handle the situation the same way again....so tell me what is going on now with that witch??....by the way, maybe you should delete this after you read it...
