Hi Luc! I wanted to thank you for the very sweet message you wrote in the blog this morning regarding Bob and me being Featured Members this weekend. I was surprised to find that honor when I got up this morning. I just appreciate you and your albums so much. You have been a real friend for many years now. I love this album more each time I view it--tonight I was admiring Lady Gourda de Victoria because it's such a great shot by you and also I love that bird. At the St. Louis Zoo these birds are in the Bird House and the lighting is very low, plus one has to photograph through wires, so it's next to impossible to capture these beauties. I also enjoyed Lost in Thought; that beautiful red bird. Is it an Ibis? I don't even know if I spelled that correctly. :-) Hope you have a relaxing weekend. Your friend, Sharon (and Bob sends regards also)

Bonjour Luc, Cet album est vraiment fantastique, il n'est pas facile de photographier des oiseaux et des animaux et de reussir a les faire ressortir autant, toi tu as reussi. J'en ai fait l'essai hier au zoo de quebec, avec mon petit appareil et j'admire le travail que tu as fait. Tes photos sont presque plus belles que nature =) Je ne sais pas si vous en avez entendu parler a Montreal,ici a Quebec le ministre responsable de la Capitale Nationale (Michel Despres) a decide de fermer le zoo de Quebec, qui est le plus vieux en Amerique du Nord (75 ans) C'est suppose etre effectif a compter du 3 fevrier 06. Il y a beaucoup de contestation et de mouvements presentement dans ce dossier et on espere que le ministre reviendra sur sa decision... Merci de tes commentaires et bravo pour ton album. Je reviendrai faire d'autres visites a tes albums car je prefere voir les albums des "amis webshots" un a un pour mieux les apprecier... Marielle

You are a magnificent ambassador for the species. I commend you on your sensitivity. That nature would allow you to capture such vividry is something rare. Others merely photograph. You my friend are magic and it shows, you've captured their essence. Congratulations. Bengyl(These lovely creatures have been blessed with such a propagator of the species.) My dad had 2 macaws when I was growing up, we used to talk to each other. =^.^= In August of this past year, 4 sandhill cranes walked up my driveway. I live over a veterinary hospital-they just sauntered up the drive, moving as one unit. They were close to 5 ft. tall. What an experience! It was the week actually a day before the hurricanes hit down south, they must have known and diverted from their usual migratory passage.

Hi Luc, great photos of my biological specialty--birds. Coco is a really nice one. But all are well done. And your titles are well thought out. That is something I dont do well-title my photos. One thing Ive noticed in photo competitions and exhibits is that very often the winning photos are not usually the best photographs, but they instead have really catchy titles. Your work here has both-good photography and great titles. Also thanks for your very generous comments on my recent album. Mike

Hi Luc, had to come back and see one of my favorite subjects again. Love the Philosopher. Gorgeous bird. Your captions are great and seem to fit the photos. Great shots Luc of a hard to photograph subject. You've done a great job on them. No wonder you are one of my favorites :) Take care, Hugs..Sharon

Just so beautiful. Luc, you have captured these favorits of mine very nicely, like the afternoon meeting,Dico Touraco and the What the...? Like your titles a lot. Mean at least half of everything - to my mind. Makes your collection much more interesting with these additions. I myself use even these subtitles quite often. Warm greetings from Portugal.Not raining any more, though glad we had tree days some moisture in the air. Have a nice day, Antti - and thanks for your nice visit - appreciated - much.

Hi Luc! I'm back again one more time to see what you have added to your album. I just love birds and the fun of trying to photograph them and you have done a superb job of getting them to pose for you! Be honest--I bet you talk to them like I do, don't you? Not everyone wants to admit that they talk to the birds and animals, but it really does help get their attention for a photo. Have a wonderful day! Sharon

Hi Luc. I enjoyed looking at this album mate. You have captured some great shots. The ones that aren't obviousley in the avery are extra special. The red Ibus is amazing and the spoonbills always get me in. Number 31 has to be the ugliest bird on the planet. I think God did not want him to be liked. lol. You managed to get a Aussie bird in as well, number 38 the magpie. As always your captions add to the experiance. Catch you later mate and thanks for sharing. Cheers Al...

midnightlace2 2005.09.07 at 07:36:25 PDT
I'm back Luc! I was going to pick a favorite, but each one is a beauty and I don't want to hurt the birds' feelings by choosing just one favorite. :-) I had a few good chuckles at some of the captions. Were these photos taken "through the wire cages" or were the birds in a large bird aviary out in the open, Luc? Fabulous photography. Hope you are having a good week. Your friend, Sharon

Bonjour Luc, Cet album est superbe!!! Merveilleuses photos de mes amis les oiseaux! Elle est magnifique cette volière, avec tout plein d’espèces les unes plus belles que les autres !! Mes préférées sont : Le extraordinaire Philosophe de la première photo (très beau profil), le joli chanteur de la #2, le mignon petit curieux de la #14, le beau visage de l’oiseau sur le trône, sans oublier les beaux mandarins (Mr et Mme sont adorables !!), la belle tourterelle, call me Zorro et le sympathique martin pecheur. Merci pour les gentils commentaires dans mon album featured. Bonne semaine et à bientôt, Tatiana P.s: Il ne faut pas que j’oublie de te souhaiter un très bon anniversaire, donc, BON ANNIVERSAIRE LUC!!!

Cher Luc! MAGNIFIQUE! BRAVO! Quel bel album! Les photos sont excellentes, les couleurs bien belles et j'aime beaucoup les titres que tu as mis. La première(Le "philosophe: joli!) est géniale: Elle est ma préférée... Et impressionnant le premier plan de la 42 (Disco Touraco). Sympa "Call me Zorro" (jolie photo et titre très bien trouvé!), et beau profil au n° 10 ("Extravert"). Que du bon boulot, mon ami! Et je suis ravie de voir que tu as publié un nouvel album! Cela signifie que tu vas bien (je l'espère). Quant à moi, je tiens le coup pour le moment (et c'est déjà bien!). Je ne peux pas croire que je serai la première à écrire sur cet album! Quelle chance incroyable... J'envoie, donc, vite! Avec toute mon a
