Pete,

That's an equisite shot. She is lovely in every sense of the word. Regina fits: she's not yet a queen, but at the moment she's a princess.

My feelings are summed up in an old joke. A luscious young lady enters a crowded bus and there isn't a seat open. It's so crowded nobody could get up and give her a place to sit. Seated next to her was a decrepted old man, who gallantly offers his lap as a seat. She grimaced at the thought, but later smiled and considering who it was, sat on his lap.  After the bus drove a few blocks, the old geezer tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me young lady, I think you better stand up. I'm not quite as old as I thought I was."

Graham,

What a stunning portrait of your best beloved. I love the softness of the light as it falls on  Noelin’s wonderful face. The composition, as always, fits the subject perfectly.

You make a wonderful couple. I raise a glass of wine in a toast to you both,  “ Chi beve vino campa cent’anni!” (those that drink wine will live for a hundred years)  And I stretch my hand across the pond to pour you both a glass of  Barolo. Chin, chin!

Larry,

Your grand daughter is darling and has twinkles in her eyes.

Pete,

My goodness but you have a roster of lovely ladies to point your cameras at. Santa Cleopatra!, you even put film in the camera.

Btw, I hope they're still putting saltpeter in the food in the Navy. Otherwise, focusing during those close-ups could get a bit tricky.

Larry,

Pete still works on base for the Navy as a civilian, AFAIK. and probably eats with the sailors.

During WW2 we always heard they were putting saltpeter in our food in the mess halls. I went into the Air Force at 18, and I don't think anything they'd put in our food would work to kill our libido. Oh, to be 70 again.

Les and Larry: Little Pete works just fine, thanks.  Believe it or not, Les, there's no mess hall on the base anymore.  It's given way to a McDonald's, two Subway shops, and an RV where you can walk up and buy BBQ.  Even the officer's club is suffering.

Les, thanks for your kind words.  It's been a while since I have done a shoot of this nature, because of my job at the base, but I was awful busy between 2004-2008.
