Cindy,
you have some outstanding photography in both PPG and on SmugMug.
E.g., your award-winning photo "Dawn on Portland Headlight" in your SmugMug "Maine Landscapes" gallery is right-click protected. But the gallery leaves the "Share" button enabled which officially allows me to crosslink your image (even copies its url into the clipboard) and so I can show it here:

Also, your image carries no copyright watermark. And you offer it at a rather large size too (1280x960).
Note that the above display of your photo is no copyright infringement because I didn't copy (its a link into your SmugMug gallery) and because you allowed sharing on other sites for your gallery.
Because it is such a sensible subject for you, may I recommend you disable the "Share" feature for your sensible galleries, add a copyright watermark and limit the max. SmugMug viewing size to 800x600? (It's all easily done in the gallery properties page)
I hope you understand I try to hel you here to maintain a healthy business. If you feel offended by crosslinking your photo, I'll remove the above link. However, other's wouldn't know you would not approve crosslinking.
