Thank you for the nice compliment on the rural Oregon chapel. It didn't look like it's currently being used, but someone is definitely maintaining it and the grounds. My thoughts at the time were more in the line of wondering how many Sunday ice cream socials had taken place on the lawn, fried chicken/potato salad dinners, weddings, funerals, and "everySunday" life. Lot's of history there, no matter how you slice it. I'm pleased you enjoyed the image. Thank you. Steve

Hi Mary, thank you for liking and commenting on "Elegant Pink"! It is very kind of you. I hope you stop by for another visit!! WELCOME to Caedes! I hope you enjoy all the nice people you will meet, as much as I have!! Sincerely, Marilyn

Thanks for your kind and encouraging words on Land of Elves and Fairies. Very much appreciated and I'm so happy you enjoyed the image. :)

Thanks for the nice comment on the 2nd view of the little chapel. It was taken on Valentines Day. We had a light dusting of snow, and the roads were icy. I happened to have that Monday off, and knew there would be virtually no traffic, so it was a slow and careful, but quite scenic drive. Very enjoyable. Thank you for the continued interest and support of my work. I very much appreciate it. Steve

Thanks, I am so glad you liked my Potted Pink. The flowers are so bright. I tried to tone them down a little, but they lost all the "pretty" so, I left them as the were ,right from the camera..

Hi Mary. It was good of you to drop in on "Found Among The Reeds," my butterfly (moth?) photo. It's a great feeling to get a shot of these elusive beasts, and to hear that others like it as well is very gratifying.

Hello Mary. Thanks so much for the nice support on "Mother is Blushing." ;)

Hello Mary. I saw your comment on my “Wash Away My Sins” photo, and it’s gratifying to see that you enjoyed it. I visit this park often to try to find new images, and on the morning we see here it was raining (a frequent visitor to New Orleans). I almost left the park, but instead set up my tripod and umbrella, and tried tyo get a few images. I’m glad I did.

Mary;
I am very humbled by the fact that you took the time to view my entire Garden of the Gods series. I sometimes feel that I make these series too long. Thank you also for taking the time to leave your comments they are very important to me.

Hello Mary!
Thanks for the kind comments on "Mountain Retreat". It is a remarkable place.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Mary I'm pleased you liked "Spring in the Klickitat River Gorge". It is indeed a magical place. That is where I go each spring to photograph humming birds on their migration to higher elevations.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Albert Einstein

Thanks Mary for the comments left on "October".It is actually a small pond in the town that I live.

Hi Mary, and thanks for your kind comments on Maine Sky with Eiders. This was taken on the day we left...after a solid week of clouds, high winds and rain. I posted it mainly to remind me that we did see a little spring up there. Mother Nature had some angry moods for most of our stay!

Mortal Eyes

My life seen
Through mortal eyes
Painted so keen
With colors, with dyes

Smudged with black kohl
To hide my lies
Then masked with bright tones
To conceal my lost pride

Gateway to my soul
My eyes, I must hide
If you hurt me once more
I fear I might die

A sweet, seductive look
And all attempts fall short
All my affection you took
Only intention to distort

This just cannot be
My mask has failed
You have deceived me
My heart now derailed

Now, just your game
Play me as you desire
I will never escape
Lost as a flicker in a fire

Thank you, Mary for commenting on "Into the Mystic" Your words mean a lot to me. You're right, though. I have so many memories with Pete he will never be forgotten.

Hello Mary, pleased to meet you. I have a friend who lives in Kansas. She moved there and got married, lol. She is here visiting this week actually. Tks for your comments on Porcupines! My first close up experience also.

Hi thanks for your comments on "Cloud Walking". I have fond memories of the day that I took this picture! M

Mary,
Thank you very much for stopping by and smelling the wild flowers in my , Springtime in the Rockies image. I really love the area around Crested Butte. Should you ever get to Colorado this is a must visit area. Someday when I find the time I will break out some mountain lakes images that I have above this beautiful little village. I think that you may have convinced me to do a series about those Schwinn bikes, Maybe in late July or early August

Hello Mary, hope you will forgive me, but this message is pretty well canned and much the same for everyone who responded to my image “Natures Symphony". I’m stuck in a very tight schedule at work and have been putting in as many as 35 hrs overtime each week for going on a month now. Even though this is a generic thank you, it doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate each comment, it’s just that I have very limited time and not enough of it to respond individually. For all that asked particular questions, I will try to leave an answer at the end of this post. For those who left comments some time ago, please accept my apology for being so late in responding.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT OF MY IMAGES .IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

Thanks Mary for the nice comment on -Apple blossoms-Much appreciated.

Hi Mary, (I Wonder) was taken right after a powerful storm passed through our town, i was the most amazing sky i have ever seen, i had to drive about 3 blocks to take this shot, i forgot my tripod and missed several shots from blurring. Well you can't win them all. I would like to thank you for your nice comments and support. Dwight.

Thank you so much for your comment on Such A Pretty Place.. I am pleased you liked it.. Those of us who live in forested lands sometimes forget that there are many who don't..

Hey there!!! Thank-you so much for taking the time to comment on 'Milly's warm smile'. Well - I don't know how happy she was having the hat put on her - but the funny thing is she didn't try to get it off, so out came the camera and about 10 shots later.... ;o)

Nice to meet you, Mary. Thanks for visiting Blessings. Sharing beauty with others is certainly a blessing!! (Great minds think alike, eh?!) Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment!!

Mary.
Thanks for the very nice comment about my; Calm Before the Storm image. It is a wonderful feeling to be alone in the elements. I don't have a clue what causes it. Maybe it's the O zone. Whatever the reason I am very late with a response to your comment. For that I am sorry. After a had day of creating images I usually do not have the time to answer all of them.
