Welcome! Photos in the galleries are loaded at reduced size and resolution from the original, to allow faster loading. Most originals are 3264 x 2448 and average 3MB each. In case anyone's wondering, no, I do not make any money from photos that are purchased from this site. Contact me directly if you want an original full-size file. An easy way to view the photos is to click on the title of the gallery you wish to view, then click on 'Slideshow' in the upper right part of that page. Or you can simply view the photos in each gallery individually. The galleries are in chronological order with the newest galleries toward the bottom of the page, with the exception of the last few galleries, which have no dates.
