Due to technical difficulties:

[Dennis S]

For some reason my satellite internet provider "Wild Blue" no longer allows me to get past the first page of the forum. I can come on to the site, and see myself listed at the bottom of the page as a member, but can't get any further. The page just sits there until it "times out". I have come down off the canyon wall, and am posting this through my daughter's connection in Colorado Springs.

As you might imagine, I have a few pictures stored up that I wanted to share here. I don't have the pictures on this computer, but I can provide a link so you can see them on my "smug mug" site. First are the annual hummingbird pictures. If you poke around a little you can see there are two pictures, and you can change their size. If anyone wants the actual file, just let me know. I will need your email address to send it. I can still get private messages as they come through on my regular email. But I can only reply if you give me an actual email address. By the way, any suggestions for a work-around would be greatly appreciated. There is no competition for "wild blue", and I don't expect them to do much since this is the only site for which I have a problem.

Here is the link to the humming bird pictures. The second picture is almost abstract-which is something I haven't really done before.

I really like the second picture, Dennis. I hope to see more as you explore new areas of photography.
Good luck getting your VR.com access back up and running. Has "Wild Blue"
given you an explanation for why VR is the only site not working? Is it some sort of internet miscommunication between the two? Whatever the reason, I hope you're soon back on the site and sharing your wonderful pictures and wisdom.

Great pics ... We put out five hummer feeders every year and put in plants to attract them and butterflies

Really nice pics of the hummingbirds. Strange though, about your Internet connection. I would think once VR has loaded in your browser that you'd be able to maneuver the pages, but then what the heck do I know about all that..!!

I was thinking about you and wondered where you had gone to

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing Hope you can get your internet connection to the VR site fixed soon

Dennis, maybe it has something to do with the VR "cookies" in your computer cache?

 

[Cris N]

Very nice

Don't know what might be causing that problem.. I have to assume that since it is working for everyone else - that it is a problem on your end.

Don't you love it when people tell you that?

Awesome hummingbird pics though!!

 

[CThrock]

Love all your pictures Dennis! Don't ever think I've seen a bad one.
