To be honest I was hoping to come here today to find Wanda draped in the stars and stripes, but I'll look at this picture of her again if I must :-)

Way to go! You saved the best for the last of this series. Please don't let it be the last of this theme.

Yes it does remind one of the Wanda PAD days. Very nice to revisit that for sure.

Please, please try to share a new series with us as soon as you can? The world is waiting. No pressure, now. In your own time. And we know that, somehow, the two of you will astound us with a series better than this, which is unbelievable now, but you will do it, we know .........

Sad to read this is the last of this series. These daily posts of Wanda reminded me of the Wanda PAD days... that was a series never to be topped I am sure. Jv

Wanda, you never cease to amaze me with your sensuous beauty and charming style! It is the woman you are inside that emits the glowing radiance and enhances your already stunning form!! There isn't a man among us here who doesn't recognize and admire Bill's talent as a photographer, but in reality is even more envious of the Goddess that he gets to spend his time with each day. Bill knows the truth, the gift isn't just getting to have you as a model, it is in having you as an amazing companion and partner in life. You are a breathtaking woman, Wanda, and it is a pleasure to at least gaze upon God's true intent for a woman's form. Bill don't ever stop shooting and don't ever stop loving this captivating, playful woman!

As always, your photography is breathtaking. I tried to come up with another clever comment for this picture, but the only thing that keeps coming into my mind is WOW. This morning at the end of Fox and Friends they were interviewing Jaclyn Smith. Jaclyn Smith looks amazing for 60, but you can tell she's had work done. Right after the interview ended, and America's Newsroom started, the first words out of Megyn Kelly's mouth were a comment about Jaclyn Smith, " I don't know what she's eating or drinking, but I want it!" I have no doubt she would have said the same thing about Wanda. I'm beginning to think that Ponce DeLeon should have been looking in Utah, instead of in Florida, for the Fountain of Youth. In fact, Wanda has caused me to borrow a term from my sons' generartion and to coin a new acronym. Wanda is most definitely a GILF (G = Grandmother) :-)

How can this series keep getting better? Each image is lovelier then the last! Beautiful colors, compositions, and what can I say about Wanda that hasn't been said?

Wait a minute!!! Haven't those trees starightened up? Is that because they have different points of view to us? Lucky trees. Oh, to be a tree ........

Mr. & Mrs. Bates,

Once again you have shown your professional talents, grace, and artistic touch.
A Wanda-ful setting with a perfect model, what more can be said?

Thank you both, I'm sure Mother Nature, will grace us with her form and figure
during the summer months as she celebrates life, and the fall season, just before she begins her winter slumber.

I have compaired the charred forest photos and these (the new set), what a perfect blend. Kind of reminds the viewer, there is life after death, a rebirth is just around the corner, life goes on.

Darn you guys are good!

nice work again from you two
Eric Hewis25-Jun-2008 08:56
Will you stop doing this when I've just got out of bed?

Next year would be a good time..
Bob from Down Under 25-Jun-2008 07:11
Dang!!! The last of three!!! This series could/should go on forever. What simply oustanding shots. Bill - great job, holding the camera still. Wanda - please keep on giving us hope for the future, waiting for more like this - well done!!!
I bet, if you showed these to anyone who has not seen similar shots of Wanda before, they would say this "model" is around 20 years old!!!
What would we do without Wanda, the nymphet!!! Keep up the great work, you two!!! We are thirsting for more ........
