After watching the forums for about a year I finally decided to join up. Although I grew up in the shadows of the Outer Banks of NC I now live in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I'm semi-retired (my wife supports me) so I get to travel every now and then without the family (2 kids). I use this time to visit lighthouses, usually near relatives or friends. My wife and I are both Air Force retirees, she's a Texan, oh well. Anyway, I like the history associated with lighthouses, their uniqueness of architecture, and pure beauty. And, I take lots of pictures. By the way, hiking to some of them can be fun and healthy. I'm not a great photographer but I did learn the secret of great photograhy - take a lot of pictures, you'll get a good one every now and then. Looking forward to the interchange.

Welcome aboard Bob! Glad you took the plunge and we look forward to your input and questions.

Welcome Bob,

Glad to have you onboard the forums. Lots of nice people here, which I'm sure you already know that having watched us for a year. Nice to see you have finally taken the plunge. Looking forward to your posts and what you have to say about lighthouses. As for taking pictures, you're right, take a lot and get rid of the junk.

Welcome aboard Bob, From the FIRST state.

Welcome Bob,

If you need to know something about lighthouses, sombody here knows about it. I was told once that I should take a photography class, it wouldn't "garontee" a good picture but it would improve the odds .

Welcome Bob!

Welcome to the forums Bob from another Coloradian transplant, originally from Hampton VA

The folks here are very friendly, and I would say could more than likely answer any lighthouse question you might have!

Welcome to our little lighthouse family Bob! Glad to finally have you among us. I think the question here is - "What took you so long?????"

Welcome to the forum, Bob. You will find the folks here knowledgeable and approachable. I learn a new lighthouse factoid almost every day to the point where I can even identify one now!!
Regards,
Bob

Hey Bob...good to have you with us.

Hi Bob,

Welcome from Meeeechegan. You're right about photography ...... I was told by a professional photographer that the pro "takes a lot of photos and throws away the bad ones!"

Enjoy the Forums .... hope to hear from you often.

PS: Do you get much snow where you're at??

Welcome to the Collector Forums Bob. I look forward to reading your future posts. As you already know, this site is filled with funloving folks who take their Harbour Lights collecting and lighthouses very seriously. They are a great extended family and I'm glad you have decided to join.
