A beautiful old southern farm on a cloudy winter's afternoon.

Another gem, Mary Alice. These peaceful country views are marvelous and well captured by you. They remind me of Virginia. There is another photographer www.panoramio.com/user/350599 who takes wonderful countryside photos as well. (Julie)

Julie,

Thank you so much for your kindness! It is so appreciated.

I went to Tom's site also, and I have to say that he is a photographic genius! I have been to his gallery many times before, and I'm always just awestruck!

Thank you again for stopping by my humble gallery. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this shot.

My dear friend. I'm very glad to receive your letter. Thank you so much. For your caring. My family and I are all okay.

The city we live, in is 900 kilometers away from the earthquake center. When the earthquake broke out, all the buildings here rocked, but home of them collapsed. At that time, my daughter was having class with, her classmates, they detected what happened, and evacuated, from the classroom I think it was a uncommon experience for her. They organized and collected money for disaster area. My daughter stood for her classmates to give a speech, in the endowment drives. We haven’t shaken off the sadness that the train wreck gave us, another catastrophe befell as. The influence of the disaster is unable to count accurately how.

You know, The big earthquake that broke out in 1976 in china occurred in my hometown. About 240,000 people lost their lives in it. Therefore I can understand the suffering of losing the family members.

Thank you for your care again, when I need them most.

I am SO happy to hear from you and to know that your family is okay. Thank you for writing to me.

I can't express how sorry I am for the terrible loss and the affect that this tragedy must have on everyone there.

I think it is wonderful that your daughter is so involved in helping others in this great time of need.

I know I said it before, but I'm just so grateful that you all are okay. I was worried very much, as it had been a while since we had talked.

I DO care, and I will certainly keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts.

Write to me anytime, okay? I'm always around and always delighted to hear from you!

Give my best to Wang Zhen and Wang Yuezhong!

Dear Mary

I will have the final exam. It will decide whether I could study in a good high school or not. I have to review my lessons day and night. So I have no time to help my father translate letters for you in time. My father is too busy in nowadays, so he couldn’t send it for you by himself.

Best wishes to you!

Wang Zhen
