Thank you very much Michael, Mike and Carles. It's been a pleasurable journey for me and more so because of all your help. I appreciate the photography tips and the encouragement and knowledge that I have received from those more knowledgeable than I am.
Warmest regards,
Don

Dear Tobi and Carles,
Thank you for your felicitations and generous words. I could not have achieved two million views without your help, encouragement and knowledge. FMF is a wonderful platform.

Don
