Nice environment images. I like the silhouette of the tractor in the clouds.
Chiloedream said at 11:09 a.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Nice idea Bob, I just send you one pic for this tabblo. Happy new year, yours sincerely, amitiés sincères. Thierry-chiloedream
Cruising said at 11:38 a.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
I was thinking of making a Tabblo book of these if there are enough pics...
Scharn said at 12:19 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Great idea Bob, I remember your tractor - cloud photo...very awesome.
DVP said at 12:25 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Wonderful idea. I'll have to ponder this one for a while.
Anjad said at 12:39 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Great idea! I'll goi through my files in the next couple of days, Bob. The idea of a Tabblo-book is super, I want one... :) I love the picture with the tractor.
Anjad said at 12:51 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
@ Thierry: cette image est vraiment formidable! J'aime les couleurs. Amitiés, Anja.
DEE-Trow said at 3:41 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
I have to get on board with this contest! Time to look through my pictures!
Cruising said at 3:42 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
I have posted the full rules of the contest within the Tabblo. Please look there for the official (not so official) rules.... :)
JeroldsSis said at 3:47 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
I'm in. I have no new pics to post (I'm sad), but this gives me something to do with Tabblo, so I'm appeased for now!
Cruising said at 3:57 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
These don't have to be "new" photos. In fact, the whole point is to choose your one or two (or three) favorites of 2006. The only rule is that you "took" them (as opposed to create them in Photoshop) with a camera and they are from 2006.
Akeke said at 4:11 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Give me some days! I will add some! Great idea! Thank you for a nice tabblo-2006!
Chiloedream said at 5:36 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Superbes couchers de soleil, belles photos noir et blanc, un joli tabblo prend forme, merci Bob, happy new year
Chiloedream said at 5:38 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Anja merci pour ton compliment, je suis sûr que tu vas poster une image pleine de talent, amitiés, happy new year
JeroldsSis said at 1:51 a.m. on Dec 30, 2006:
When I stated earlier that I had no 'new' photos to add to Tabblo, I just meant that I had nothing new for Tabblo and I was missing it. So, this contest gave me something to do with Tabblo. I needed my fix!
Cruising said at 1:29 p.m. on Dec 30, 2006:
I updated the Tabblo with more details of voting. You will have through New Years day to post entries. See the Tabblo for the details.
Mashpee_Paula said at 2:52 p.m. on Dec 30, 2006:
Thanks for all of your help, Bob! :)
Pkeener said at 3:32 p.m. on Dec 30, 2006:

MELISA Your mom is beautiful, just like you and Marisa!
Cruising said at 1:20 p.m. on Jan 1, 2007:
If you want to view the images in the best view (and it removes any issues with my sizing and placement) - use the slideshow. It shows each image as uploaded in good quality. All of these are spectacular.

Bob what an EXCELLENT idea!!! all beautiful pictures its going to be hard to decide which ones will be the best! my only regret is that i am out of town (actually im currently in addison, chicago) with no access to my photos...furthermore, work and personal deadlines are relentlessly being piled on to my shoulders and i am barely keeping up so tabblo has taken a back seat for now. but i will be back...
Pkeener said at 9:19 a.m. on Jan 2, 2007:
Bob you have put a lot of work into this! The voting Tabblo is excellent and the way you set it up is so cool. I live the slideshow. Thankyou for providing us with so much great entertainment and activity over the holiday!
