No one is more sad than I. You will be SO very missed, Bayou Bill. Your SWAMP images are infamous on BP and your kindnesses to us all have been immense.

You have been a friend to all. Good luck in all you do and thank you for all that you are!

Bill
One of my favorite BP friends...I am so sorry to see you leave BP. Your gallerly is one of the most talented with all of your bayou images, which has inspired many of us. (Hope you leave your gallery on BP, so we can come visit, even though you are away. YOU have inspired me thru some tuff times with your friendship and encouragement. Take care my BP friend.

Dear Bayou King. Yes, BP does consume us! Very time consuming, but also so rewarding in so many ways. Hope you'll be back again, after getting through the "pending" stuff.
This is a gorgeous Swan Song, Bill. #7471844

Sorry to hear you're leaving, Bill! I have really enjoyed your photos of the bayous. With this one, I think you're going out with a real BANG! And hopefully you'll have a little time to check next month, when it makes the winners' list! This is really stunning! Hopefully, your schedule will allow you to return some day. I know I've left several times myself... but like a homing pigeon, back I've come. The best of luck in your new endeavors, whatever they may be! #7472893

JudyAnn Rector level-classic May 01, 2009

Your image is stunning, Bill... I am still rather new to BP and I am sorry I did not get a chance to 'know' you. But I understand perfectly, because I too feel the pressures of time and sort of wax and wane here! Your work is an inspiration and I am hoping you will be able to return one day. God speed. #7473591

Alex T. Mizuno May 01, 2009

Beautiful and serene image! So sorry to hear you are leaving BP Bill. You have a fantastic gallery. No matter how busy you'll be, try to find time to shoot. Don't waste your talent. Hope you'll come back to BP in the near future. #7473771

Marsha S. Smith May 01, 2009

I'm so sad to hear that you will be leaving BP soon, Bill! I will truly miss all your wonderful Bayou images and the little hearts you always left in my gallery! I understand though. BP can be very time consuming and it takes a lot of effort to keep it up! I hope that whatever it is that is weighing heavily on your heart and mind will be settled soon so that you can return to us! My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family! Take care and I wish you all the best! :) #7481349

Denny E. Barnes level-deluxe May 04, 2009

You will really be missed by the BP family, Bill! Nobody captures the beauty of the bayou the way you do. Every photo is something special! I hope and pray the future will give you the time to come back to us so we can once again enjoy the beauty of your captures. Wishing you and family the very best and don't let that camera gather dust!

Denny #7483988

Anita Hogue May 07, 2009

Hey, Bill! You could always put an image on once a month. I have loved all your images! You just have to control yourself and not comment on everyone that comments on your images!LOL
P.S. Bet you will miss us and have to come back!
Hugs right back at you, Anita #7497387
