Hi Jim: Got the thumbnails and disc the other day. Just wanted to say I think they are great! The photos are so good I didn’t even noticed the cloudy skies. Plus, you did a great job of shooting tight to minimize the lack of sunshine. I think your expertise in shooting nature really enhances photos along the trail. Your composition of some of the photos is just fantastic. Thanks so much. We’re very excited to use these pics.
Take care,
Brenda Gibson, APR, Public Relations Manager, Miami Conservancy District
