Paul, I truly love all of your gorgeous scenery! It must be so nice to be able to hike to all these beautiful places! I have had a very busy summer helping my parents, so have not been able to keep up with my shutterfly share sites as I would like too! I see that I have been missing out on a lot of beautiful scenery! I am going to try to get here sooner this time! I am having my parents move into the house with us, my dad has a hospital bed now, and we are just going to put it into the living room, and take care of him, because mom cannot do it all by herself! My dad will never go to a nursing home! I believe that if all is possible that we should take care of our parents! I also have my son and wife moving in tomorrow since he was laid off last month they lost their apt., and had no where to go, so my grandson who is 9 years old has been living with us this month so he could start school in a new place! It is funny because it is the same elementary school that we all went to! It is way better than the one he was at before! He loves it there! So we have a full house with our two little dogs, and my grandsons small collie dog he got from 4-H club, and 3 guinea pigs! Help!!!! LOL!!!! See you around shutterfly, Deb

I agree with Sandy completely Paul, you are truly gifted and your photos bring beauty and inspiration. Many thanks. Safe travels my friend and be well.
9/6/2011 2:38:10 AM - 004039609442
The Lord has blessed you with an amazing gift. Your photo's make me feel like I am actually on location, and there is no place I would rather be than soaking up all the beauty Tahoe has to offer :)

Hi Paul!! Thanks for your very kind comments on my ANCP books!! I appreciate you checking them out!!
I love making them and have many in the works...finding time to work on them...well, now that's the problem! ha!
I agree with Barb........I would love a day where we could get our feet in all of that great water you have around you...and cool off!! C'mon Fall!! haha!
Fiesta is in about a month!! Balloons everywhere!
Have a great week!!
7/29/2011 8:28:41 PM - 002029331419
Hey Paul!! Baseball and Hiking...what a life! :0)
The hand is healing...getting a little stronger each week!
What a terrific season of hiking your having....keep on snapping!!

Paul, I saw your album on Deb Speed's site and wanted to let you know your mission to uplift was accomplished. You also have shown Nevada to be a beautiful and awesome state to enjoy. I believe even if you can not travel that God's beauty and wonder is right beside us. Some people walk or drive right by but shutterbugs like us want to capture and share . Please feel free to check my site and comment. outside122.shutterfly.com I will look more around this site. I live in Pennsylvania and many photos from my walks, bike rides, and car travels . Enjoy Maria

Dear Paul,
You are so brave to get out there in the snow. I am from back east and the snow is of no interest to me. hahaha... Thanks for stopping by my Big Hikes page. Shutterfly asked me to set up that page from one of my books about two years ago to start promoting their Share Sites at the time. Here is the link to my family page. I am a bit behind but I will be updating it shortly.

Hey Paul! It's always fun to see where your hiking around...in the white stuff and in the sunshine!!
The Chickadees are just to cute... I think you've made some very good friends!
It's always fun to come see what you've been up too!!
2/25/2011 8:37:18 PM - 001024320926
Hi Paul, I love the new pictures!! You really stay active! Snow covered countrysides are one of my favorite scenes, you have so many great ones! My area of Texas has had two snows this year and one giant ice storm, no fun! The snows were really pretty though. Plus I just got back from Durango, it snowed while we were there, really pretty!!
I hope that all is well for you and yours. I don't get around to the sites as well as I did before, work has really taken off and I have a few projects keeping me busy! I always love my visits when I'm here though :)
2/24/2011 4:10:39 PM - 002029331419
Hey Paul!!...what a fun album you have for your Peak 7766 snowshoe! I just think that the Blue and white and green make such a dramatic picture! :0)

Hey Paul...just coming by to see what's new....I saw that you all got a ton of snow, so I thought you might have been out there stomping around in it!! ha!
I was right!!
Love your pictures ....so pretty!!!...Your really doing some great shots with your new camera!! :0) have a terrific weekend!
