Nadya Johnson February 01, 2009

Sensational! Love the mystery and the mood of this; the red algae lends the swamp an other-worldly look. (Hope it's naturally occurring, not some kind of problem with the eco-system??) Beautiful landscape, Bill! #7114426

Robyn A. Terrell February 01, 2009

Hi Bill,
Another spectacular shot of the bayou. Your colors and clarity are exceptional. Hope you're rooting for the steelers today! #7114468

Joan Powell February 01, 2009

nice to have you back Bill , love the shades of green and the reflection ! #7114477

Bill Knaps February 01, 2009

Thank you Nadya. Algae does not turn red every year. I think it is every other year. Summer Heat does it. At the end of the summer it will be red on top of the green. May be burned from the Sun. Don't know when or if we will have red again in my lifetime after the two hurricanes. So much rain washed the algae away and the cold of winter may finishe it off completely. Bill #7114479

Bill Knaps February 01, 2009

Naw Robyn the Cardinals. My Kids are rooting for the Steelers. I was a Cardinal fan many year ago. Thank you for your nice comments and your continued support Robyn and Joan. Bill #7114494

Kaye Burazin February 03, 2009

Always stunning! Tomorrow it will be a week since we had power here in Bull Shoals
Arkansas due to a recent ice storm, No clean drinking water, and of
course the internet, tv and all other luxuries most of us take for
granted are also gone for now. What I wouldn't do for a hot shower!!!
Most people couldn't even get out of their homes due to fallen
electrical wires and fallen tree limbs.It looks like a war zone. We have
been heating our home with a propane fireplace. I was fortunate enough
to purchase a generator three days ago that had been shipped to the
store that I work at. 12 were purchased even before the truck could make
it in from Missouri. Ice and propane are at a premium as well as
batteries and candles. Power is finally being restored to the business
district of my little town so groceries can be purchased but most people
don't have power to store the food properly. Our car was pushed off the
side of the mountain hill as we were trying to get to the bigger town
for supplies for the people in our neighborhood when this all started.
The cars could not navigate on the glare ice Thank goodness we were not
in it. Trying to help the guy in back of us who got into trouble
teetering on the edge of the steep hill before he got up the mountain.
Please let everyone know that I am fine and looking forward to getting
back online as soon as possible. The weather is warmer so the ice has
melted and the crews are working feverishly to restore power. God
Bless, Kaye B
Am saving this as a draft to sent as soon as our server is up and running.
P.s. Yes, power is back on, but the wind has kicked up making it difficult for the crews to get electricity back to the reminder of the city. The trees were the worst hit by the storm. Most of my wins were of the beautiful trees here in Arkansas. I hope to get out by the end of the month to shoot again after getting back to some normalcy. Now for that HOT shower........
