The pictures are not opening....
I can't view the slideshow. The number of the pictures change in sequence, but no images appear. If I have to load or disable something on my computer to view the pictures, what would that be? I'm running Internet Explorer and Windows XP.
Mr. Cross’s photography is as rare as his subject matter, profound passionate life affirming images, patiently captured in a fleeting blink of an eye. The depth of his photographic vision and insight is reminiscent of “William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence”. Future generations will stand in awe of his artistry as we view John James Audubon’s art today, sans the death of the subject. Roger Tory Peterson gave people the gift of bird watching without killing the subject of our inquisitiveness. Mr. Cross is sharing with us enlightenment in the twilight of our global ignorance and perhaps the last days of their species. The wetlands, estuaries and islands of our planet are under siege. Of the 32 largest cities in the world, 22 are located on estuaries. Mr. Cross has traveled so far to share his vision of this world, the least we can do is wish him good health and see the wonders of life. Thank You

THANKS, Ed!
I'm near salt/fresh water wetlands (the second-most productive ecosystem in the world, next to rainforests) in CT.
My fave to photo: the elusive, wisely skittish Great Blue Heron.
Ted Cross's website is BirdersUnited.com.
Central Park is a wonderful sanctuary and casual photographers can get wonderful images.
Wonderful guest, and photos, and cause!
Despite google searches, I seem to be having Pam's trouble--
moderator, can you post Ted Cross' wetlands website?
The Lopate Show responds:
