40,000 posts and you are still full of ........ stuff. Tim, you were one of the guiding lights when I actually got up enough nerve to post here, and you have continued to be honest, helpful, friendly, and downright nice. Your photos speak for themselves, and they do say a lot. Here's wishing you another 40,000 ~ Ron
BTW - this is a great eagle shot ~ R
I'll never not be full of it Ron
Thanks a ton my friend, I do hope that we can shoot together someday, I would enjoy that.

First of all, you chose an amazing image to mark the occasion Tim. Great IF pose and you processed it perfectly IMO. Absolutely beautiful... excellent work buddy.
In addition to your body of work, what I admire most about you is your continued willingness to share your time and teach others how to better their skills. I for one have learned a ton from you... thank you. As a result, you have become highly esteemed and respected in this community, and it is very well placed. I love this community, and you're one of the main reasons why.
It's always a pleasure to view your images, it's a blast to shoot along side you, and it's an honor to call you a friend.
So glad you like the birdy Kruk, we have a lot of them around here
Your words really do touch my heart Kirk, I really appreciate them. I value greatly the times we have shot together and I very much look forward to doing it again as soon as I can. Thank you my friend, it means a lot to me

Thanks Buddy,

Congratulations on your milestone post, and what a perfect photo to celebrate the occasion. I value your feedback very much and strive to get photos as good as yours. All the best.
Thank you very much, I do appreciate the nice words.
I didn't want to spoil your secret but I can't help myself. Of course since it rains here so much, there's really nothing better to do than sit at a computer all day and post to message boards or ... get out and make pictures under the world's largest diffuser.
Anyway, 40K is a lo-oong ways from where I'm sitting. And I'm glad you've been around to represent the 206.

Congratulations on a brilliant milestone! I always enjoy your images on this forum as well as your generous nature. Hmmm. Does this mean when I visit my friend in Poulsbo you might come out and shoot with me?
Thank you Sharona! Hey if there is something there to photograph, I'll be happy to meet up with you

Tim, that's an amazing number but what's more amazing is the consistent fine quality of your images -- always an inspiration. We have never met face to face (yet) but I feel like I know you at least a little from your comments, advice, and general good humor on this forum. Mark
Likewise Mark. It's funny how many people here I have never met in person but consider true friends. Thanks

Tim, congratulations and thank you. You have always shared not only your amazing images, but your knowledge. I know I have learned so much not only you, but the others on this forum. I remember when I was just a lurker here,and terrified to post. However, when I finally did you and the others were so kind and encouraging. Your work is excellent and an great inspiration to me and many others. You are one of the people who make this forum a place to not only enjoy seeing outstanding images of wildlife, but a place to learn. Thank you!

You are very kind with your words Nancy, thank you so much

A huge congratulations Tim on your 40,000 posts and this one is a great example of your skill.
You helped me with kindness, patience and great advice since the first day I dared to post my photos on FM and I know you have been helping others all along too.
Your pics are simply the best and I get such inspiration just looking at them.
It would be great to meet up and shoot with you some day and who knows, as I am retiring at the end of the month and will be over in Ottawa for September......
Cheers,
Martin
Wow Martin such kind words. They really do mean a lot to me my friend. Retiring? I'm jealous, we may meet up after all, I really hope we do. Thank you!!
