  • Interesting album here. I am familiar with much of what you photographed since I have family in Florida, especially my parents living near Crystal River. I have traveled some of these back roads during my visits.

  • Hi Gene! Thanks for the "official" title you bestowed on Bob and me, but I'm afraid we're just "amateur amateurs" through and through! Always a learning experience every time we head out with a camera around our necks! :-)) But I appreciate your kindness. Thanks for the congratulations on the featured album yesterday. I love your album of Florida scenes, especially the beach compositions. Thanks so much and have a great weekend. Sharon

Got a little sneak peak into that glorious nature that Florida has... Many thanks for sharing as well as taking time to visit and comment on my album as well! Greatly appeciated! Cheers and smiles, amy

  • Hi Gene. How have you been keeping mate?. I thought I'd looked at this album but I hadn't. I called in a few weeks ago and left a thankyou note but was on the run. I like all the water shots and bridges. I just like the look of the whole place. Thanks for sharing mate. Catch you later. Cheers Al.

  • REALLY enjoyed your photos of Florida's back country! Especially since my hometown was Tavares, and also because I too have done photos of Florida's backcountry, but primarily in South Florida where I've lived for the past thirty-plus years. You have some mighty fine photographs there. Thanks for sharing them.

  • Hi Gene, Thank you so much for the real nice comments on my album, Serenity In The Wilderness! It was real cold when I took my walk in the woods but it was just so pretty in there! I'm so glad you liked the pics! This album you have created here is just so nice! The scenery shots and the canals is so great! I lived in Florida the year Andrew came through, and got to see a lot of the state's beauty! I never did go to any of the theme parks while I was there either! I think my favorite pic is The Life Of Riley, it's so pretty and peaceful looking! Great job! Thanks again! Vicky from Pa.

  • Gene, I always enjoy my tour through Florida via your albums. You present a side of the state that isn't the norm for tourists but it is so beautiful none-the-less.Your pride shines through in the captions and it is easy to see why you feel that way. Thanks for your comments in my album. Webshots changed how they send comments and I just found yours.
