Another Late Summer Day On The Bayou
Uploaded: May 01, 2009
Bayou Desiard North of Monroe, Louisiana. This will be my last photo to enter on BP. I will be leaving the middle of this month. I want to thank all of you who have supported me and thank all of you who have become my friends. I have too much pending right now to spend the time needed for BP. I want to also make this photo a Mothers Day Dedication to all you Mothers Here on BP. Happy Mothers Day To You. Good luck to all of you my Dear Friends. Hugs, Bill

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! #7472893JudyAnn Rector 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. #7473591Alex 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. #7473771Marsha S. Smith May 01, 2009
Your beautiful bayou will be missed as will you, Bill. Maybe things will pick up and you can come back to see us. Take care and God Bless you, Marsha #7473855Pat Gamwell 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! :) #7481349Denny E. Barnes 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
