Sorry Andy,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I use a service which provides photos, and credits photographers for their work. Somehow I must have deleted the text while editing the post. I have corrected the error. Thanks for allowing people to use your work. Blogs would be a lot harder to put together without generous people like yourself.

Hi,

Not a problem! I do enjoy seeing who's using my pictures and where. I've caught a few people maliciously using my photos in the past, so I just have a standard copy/paste thing I use. Something tells me that (like most other honest folk) you aren't the type to do that, of course...so I apologize if the message a bit abrasive! :)

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Andy
