Hi Valerie No Disrespect intended, however may I suggest that you use "thumbnails" of your graphics?
There is no doubt of the Great Beauty of your photographs and your Talent as a Photographer.
Personally, I like your Photos very much.
To my way of thinking though, it is an unnecessary waste of bandwidth........
May I suggest that you try this......
(Here is an example, your wonderful photograph of the San Antonio River Walk as posted earlier today)
(BTW, I love the River Walk. One of my all time favorite places :)
If you will.......
Click the Pic
It will "Open" in another window so as to be convenient to everyone without a waste of "bandwidth"
(There are still many "out there" who do not have access to DSL or even ISDN, much less T1. Give them a Chance too. They are some of our greatest supporters. Like "Good 'ol 1John"
