Comments on Michael's Work:
"Wow,what incredible pictures. I
feel like I hit the jackpot. I've
been searching for photos of
the Buffalo River for over a
week now, and found you on
google images. I'm from Rhode
Island and can now justify my
1460 mile two day trip to the
Buffalo River to my wife, who is
now just as excited as me after
viewing your photos"

"Wonderful pictures....we have
traveled 8-9 times from Illinois
to Wyoming/Colorado to see
the herds in the national parks.
I found this by accdident and
we may come down there in
September to see elk because
of the gas prices.They are
magnificent animals."
