Like the title says, thank you all so much for your kindness.  I appreciate all of the birthday wishes that I received.  It really means a lot to see so many people taking a little time out of their day to wish me a happy birthday.  I do apologize about not getting back to everyone on here sooner.  I've been absent due to the amount of house work I have to do now that my wife and I actually own a house  I'd say that I'd be on here more to come in the near future, but I am uncertain of this.  That is because we'll be having our first child.  I'm sure that instead of landscapes there will be tons of kid pictures filling up the gallery but who knows.  Maybe I'll be able to find some time to get out and enjoy some time outdoors like every summer.  Fingers crossed!
