Hello Dan:

Thanks for taking the time to view my photos. Would you believe the shot
of Le Tour D'Eiffel  almost did not happen. I was able to convince my fiance
to go out for an evening walk with our cameras and tripod.  I'm glad to hear
from others that enjoy my photos. I am inspired by your words of
encouragement.
Thanks again for taking the time to review my site.

Yvonne ; )
