Debbie, it is my pleasure...
Hi Debbie, of course I remember you. You have made my day :)) Thank you, it is my pleasure to receive your kind and generous comments. Means a lot, your view on the surrounding world is the view of an artist. I guess that these early spring Foothills images brought you warm memories from your Alberta time spent while horse-back riding on undulating hills west of Calgary! If you have time, please accept my invitation to view my other albums under: http://community.webshots.com/user/komierowski1000 http://community.webshots.com/user/komierowski900 http://community.webshots.com/user/komierowski800 etc.etc.. My warm and friendly regards, Rafal Old NOVA gang send you regards too!

Hi Rafal,
Looks like warmer days are not too far from now!:) It's good that the new development was patterned after the Old West, such a great aesthetic appeal. Love that shot of cows crossing a wooden log, such a cute design while the froezn marshes is an awesome pic. Cheers to warmer weather!!!:)
