tom,
It loads quicker and looks cleaner now. Keeping the webpages into about i-2 screen's display each with a "next page" link as you go thru the stories is a "best practice" for the web with minimal reader fatigue and clogging of bandwidth. If you want to get a bit fancier you can also take tip from some of the big websites and include links for "view article as a single long web page", printable format, forwarding the site/page link to someone else, etc.
here is quick and dirty modification of one of your biggest images.
Your original image
( HERE ) is 265,650 bytes.
I saved a copy at 70% resolution without changing anything else and it is now 97k bytes with no discernable difference on the screen (took 30 seconds to do). With a bit more work it can be made smaller and keep the quality. start with the highest resolution/biggest file your camera will take and massage it down with the graphics software and you can have high quality images on the web at reasonable sizes.
BTW; those are some great photos. especially the quail, Moody schoolhous, frosty geese, and the hammer gun.
here is the copy I made for comparison;
