Thanks for these pictures. I look at this first thing every day when I boot the computer. I really appreciated the posting and comments regarding Grandmother (Marie McVey) and Aunt Billie Jean. Many of the pictures are like a brief visit "up home" as my dad always referred to the Wideners Valley area.

Rick,

After seeing many of the pictures posted on your site, how could anyone deny the existence of God? Also, two songs often come to mind when viewing the fantastic photos, "Amazing Grace" and "What A Wonderful World". Thank you for the site and may God continue to bless you, your family and this wonderful country! By the way, I'm living in Concord, NC, but I'm proud to say I grew up in Saltville, VA.

Such a creative Photographer - the statues of "Don Quixote" and "Sancho Panza" look like they are sitting there having a conversation.

Of course as your wife I love this site. My favorite articles are of the more personal type, but I'm glad others are enjoying it also - even if I have to endure those scientific things every now and then.

The picture of the Watson Mill Bridge in Georgia is excellent and makes you feel relaxed and happy. Hopefully, such pleasant pictures can make us proud of ourselves as a Nation and as community minded people. I look forward to seeing more pictures of Georgia’s covered bridges and to visit some of them on my next trip to Georgia.

I love to visit Rick's site and was pleasantly surprised to see mine and Tommy's picture featured as a "Picture of the Day". TodaysPhoto.org is my favorite site to go and look at our beautiful region and all it has to offer. Every time I look at the "Picture of the Day", I am reminded how blessed I am to live in the beautiful mountains of east TN & sw Va. Thank you, Rick for this wonderful gift.

This is absolutely one of the BEST sites to see photo's from all classes photographers. I enjoy looking everyday at the different perspective the photographers offer. From the simple landscape to the posed or just the point and shoot. Each person has something to offer in their shots. TodaysPhoto.org is wonderful and I recommend it often to many photographers. Thank you for hosting such an awesome site Rick Rouse and keep up the great work.

Dear Mr. Rouse:

I stumbled across your photos of the day while taking a break at work, browsing for scenes of home. I grew up in SW Va (Glade Spring) and in fact my maternal grandfather's family on his mother's side hailed from the Wideners Valley/Rush Creek area. I really enjoy the shots you take, you have a lot of talent. They make me less homesick and more homesick at the same time, somehow--especially considering that I am viewing them from an office in mid-town Manhattan.

I will tell you one tale of my own. When I visit the area, now all too infrequently, I stay at the Martha Washington Inn. The text below your photo mentions the Inn's famous ghosts. Years ago, my family and I stayed at the Inn. My daughter, Maggie, must have been six or so (she is now fifteen). I had heard of the Inn's ghosts, especially the lady who plays the violin upstairs. As it happened, our room was situated in the very area that her ghost inhabited. My wife and I decided not to tell Maggie this, for fear of frightening her. Maggie had a peaceful night's sleep, and when she woke up she asked us, "Did you hear that music playing in the middle of the night?" A true story--my wife can attest to it.

Keep up the good work.
