Having only recently found this thread and just now finishing my view of each and every image .. I'm in awe. You live a life most only dream to live small parts of man and you are truly blessed to see and do as much as you have.
The fact that you have an incredible sense of what is actually quite photogenic and appealing to view is even more awe-inspiring, and added to that, the generosity in which you have bestowed upon us, the viewer, in sharing all of these small moments in your incredibly wonderful life thus far.
I, for one, thank you kindly for your time spent in sharing all the images and what they mean to you, and hope you continue to do so in the future. The camera upgrade has been a vast improvement for me as well, since the photo quality is greatly improved for my failing vision.
