May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

really nice Makes me think of some of the pics my dad has from New Mexico. I should scan some and post. Actually, he may have already done so and maybe even done some color correction to compensate for the age... You've got some really nice pics ! A couple remind me of something one might nee in National Geographic.
Oh thank you Aaediwen and SusieQ! I appreciate your taking the time to look and even comment as well! Wow! Thank you! I probably have a million photos in my possession. Will be getting some more out to post as well. Many thanks again!
I really love the little Hopi boy as well, Susieq. I just thought he was so adorable at the time!
Rose, these are great. The only cacti I've ever seen are the three inch tall one's my dad has in the living room.
I'm quite fond of the Powwow piece. There's a moment captured there that even the subjects may not have been aware of. Keep it up.

Thanks OR! I take that as an extreme compliment coming from you!
I love that portrait too of the powwow girls. the only problem with the photo is that I scanned it and my scanner always makes my photos look darker then they really are. Even my desert flowers came out darker than the original photos are! don't know how to get around that.
Hi Anne! Yes I live in Arizona, the world of cacti and Native American culture.....love it here!

Should be able to load it into Photoshop or something and adjust the Brightness / Contrast...
