To enlarge an individual photo: Click on the thumbnail-sized image, or click on the magnifiying glass icon below the image to the left. (Background images on non-gallery Pages cannot be enlarged.)

To make a comment on a photo, or to view comments made by other visitors: While viewing an enlarged photo, click on "View / Add Comments". You can use your own name or an alias, and you can add the URL to your own web site or another one. When finsihed, click "Submit Comment." The comments will be posted after approval by the site moderator.

To register as a guest: Click the "Sign In" tab on the right-hand side of the page. Then click "Register" on the tab below the Sign In box. You will only be asked to give your name, email address, and a password-retrieval answer.

To retrieve your password: Click on "Sign In" then click the "Retrieve Password" tab below the Sign In box.

To create a personal collection of your favorite photos: First, register as a guest (see instructions above). When signed in, you can click "Add to Light Box" from any enlarged view.

To order prints: Enlarge the view of the photo you would like to order. Then click on "View Options & Prices" button. A pop-up window has a drop-down menu with Print options. Choose the size and type of print, the quantity, and add any special instructions. Then click "Add to Cart." Payments are made via the PayPal site, which accepts major credit cards as well as PayPal accounts. Shipping costs to US destinations are included; a 20 percent discount is available for North Georgia residents within our delivery area.

To search for photos: Click on the "Search" tab at the right-hand side of the page. Type the keyword of what you are looking for and click the Search button. The search function is NOT case-sensitive, but it IS character-specific. So, for example, if you type "paint" you will get the images which have "paint" in the title, but not the images that have "painting" as a keyword.

Keywords used on this site are all singular. If you would like to find photos of flowers, use "flower" as the search term.

To view photos in sequence: From any gallery or collection of search results, click on one of the images to enlarge it. Then click "View Last" or "View Next."

To view photos as a slide show: From any gallery or collection of search results, click on one of the images to enlarge it. Then click the Play (right-arrow) button at the lower left under the enlarged photo. To pause the slide show, click the Stop (square) button next to the Play button. You can set the speed of the slide show to Slow, Medium or Fast, using the drop-down menu next to the Stop button.
