This month we are featuring the work of NPN member Sandy Richards. Sandy has created a large and diverse portfolio of work, all of which is a joy to view.
Beautiful body of work Sandy. Very impressive number of Weekly Picks within your portfolio too! You're a valuable member of NPN and I'm glad to see your work honored.
So nice to review the whole body of your work, which includes so many fine Picks! The broad subject matter, quantity and quality of the work well represents the passion you have for photography. Heartfelt congratulations on the GOTM honors.
Sandy, I knew would come -- Congrats.
As others have noted, I always admired the diversity of your work, as well as your excellence. Your enthusiasm for commenting and supporting the NPN community are also commendable.
Thanks to Jim for the recognition, and to everyone here for their kind comments and support! Very much appreciated!
I'm feeling a bit guilty with the recognition coming now, because (for the first time in years) I've been MIA on NPN for close to 3 weeks, while I was moving, dealing with an ankle infection requiring IV meds, a sicker-than-usual very old mother, and a (younger - eek) sister who just had a hip replacement and is out of comission for a month or more and needs lots of help. Haven't picked up my camera for close to 4 weeks - but now everything is falling back into place and I'm able to get out and shoot again. The new place even has room for a small studio again for the orchidsand flower shots!
Way to go, Sandy. Congratulations on being selected for the June GOTM, and as always for posting very nice images year around. As a long time member your insight and comments are very reflective of your passion for the art of outdoor photography also.
Congratulations Sandy. A well deserved honour. You have a wonderful diverse gallery.

Sandy, I just now realized that you were chose for GOTM as I have been dealing with my own ill brother and elderly mother. So I can totally understand your absence and it does not in any way diminish the contributions you have made to NPN over the years through your beautiful images and constructive critiques. Congratulations!
