Hi Steve, thank you for your comment on "Peach Perfect". It's funny you mentioned the color of the rose, because I too, thought later that it looked orange to me! Ha! Oh well.........................All in the eyes of the beholder, right? Sincerely, Marilyn
Hi Steve, thanks for liking "Icicle Float"!! I like your math and your support!! I really liked this one! I was leaning out over a forty five degree angled hill I was climbing!! Maybe I should have thought twice about this one, right? Ha! Sincerely, Marilyn
Steve, thanks for sharing your story envoked by my picture Remember when --Things cost less. When I was a kid, if there was a market for fence staples, there would have been a buncha droopy fences around these parts.

Hi Steve... thanks for your comment on Remember When? (Picnic)... glad you like it.... as for the aardvark we dont have those... but if you go to a pub up in the northern territory.. they have long nosed, long tailed, short legged pointers..... which over here we call crocodiles.... lol.....
Hey there!!! Me2 again..... lol....... thanks for your comment this time on Apophysis Reef.. glad you like it... and thanks for giving it a 10 and a Fav... :D appreciate it.... :D
Hi Steve, thanks for liking "An Easter Bouquet"! Yes, aren't the colors great, they excite me because, not only are they gorgeous, but they are symbolic of a very special time of yr!! I think posting fewer images might be in order though, too much of the same thing, what do you think? I told June that I will have the Easter Bunny laying his eggs before his time, Ha! Sincerely, Marilyn
Hello Steve, and once again I thank you very much for your comments and continued support!! Yes, I know the math, and love it!! Yes, I thought this shot was a little out of the ordinary, in fact, I love it. I have another image quite the same, but however it rained on my little tulip, can you imagaine that? I will post it sometime soon. Sincerely, Marilyn
My wile Dee Ann and I thank you Steve for viewing and commenting on Koi Pond. We appreciate your support and we're glad that you like it.

Hello Steve, ralmao on your goose comment. Tks, I am glad you liked my Next to Me image!
The swan was amazing as he jumped out of the water and right next to me on the ground. It was beautiful, I only wish I had gotten an image when he opened his wings up and shook them!
JuneBug
Hi Steve! Your comment on the Swedish swan is much appreciated. It turned out well after a long wait for the swan to get in the right position, hehe.
I also enjoyed your answer (via BJ) about the Top Six position...hehe. It is truely well-desrved tor your great Remember when contribution, but we were a bit disappointed not to reach there with BJs probarbly best framework.. That´s life! ...and I have already waxed my lense ..lol. Thanks Steve !
HI Steve, Thanks for commenting on Collagery, I thought I would try a different direction and see how it goes..Like a new adventure...:-) ..lol..glad you liked it..

Well Mr Bond... Beansbond.... lol.... hehehe... Hi Steve.. thanks for your comment on Happy Easter... im glad you liked it.. it was fun making it.... hope the Easter Bunny hops through your door... dont eat too much candy... lol.... :D
Steve;
I am so far behind in my correspondence. Please forgive me for being so late with my post to yout comment.
I am happy that I could bring back some memories with my Teddy Bear image. Isn't it sad how your first best friend ends up in a dark closet or in the attic? But they will wait for us anytime we need a person to te our troubles to. And will always keep our secrets. This includes any Monkey named Zippy!

Hi Steve, thanks for liking "Precious Posies"! You know, it is funny the no. of good shots I got with this particular group of flowers!! There was no sun or snow to help with lighting!! Amazing I think. I rely on that beautiful afternoon winter sun to help shape the image. Lucky, uh? Sincerely, Marilyn
Hey there Steve, tks for taking the time out of your busy day to comment on Standing at Attention!
He would have let me pet him I think, but...........on the off chance I am wrong, lol.... better not.

Hello Steve, tks for your comments on ~Feathery~
I am glad you liked it. I put the feathers into Kaleidoscope and then duotones, all in photoshop.
I am going to post a blue one and also an original white/black one also.

Thank you Steve for your comments on "Finding the Way", I'm pleased you liked it.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.

Thank you for joining me in thanks to Rob. The image will now be removed but I am grateful to you for the incredible support you give my work to encourage me forward with it. ;)
Hi again. You must have birthday cakes and Betty Crocker on the mind. ;) lol
Thanks again from Arne and me on your wonderful support of the flying orchids#14. Happy Easter to you too!!!!!
Hallo Steve, I hope you had a pleasant birthday and got a snaps ! I am six months behind, but I try to forget my birthdays nowadays....lol ! B.J. and I are very thankful for you great support to our teamworks, this time the swan girls Selma & Louise ! Thank you, Steve !
Oh thank you, Steve...for your lovely comments and marks on Puddles and Snow...I sure appreciate your support...also for commenting on As The Snow Flies...I thought I was done with snow images but apparently the snow isn't done with me...the weather is a lot nicer today...it's so erratic lately...thanks again for both posts.:Pat.

Steve,
I am so far behind in my correspondence. Please forgive the late posting to your comment.
Your comments mean a great deal to me. I am so very pleased that you took the time to visit my Bristlecone Pine tree in the Clouds image. Thank you for your comment.

Hi Steve...thanks a lot for the nice comments on Take A Gander At This...yeah, these birds keep an eye on you...likely hoping for some bread...I'm a real softie and they see me coming every time...thanks again.:Pat.
Hello Steve, tks for your comments on Pounce; I was just in the mood to play around.
Tks also for your comments on Desktop Joey #2. He is a cute pooch. But like all dogs, beware of teeth, lol.
JuneBug
Thanks for commenting on Clowns. You had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. This one wasn't what I thought I would get. I made it about a week ago and couldn't decide if I would post it or not. Very glad and very glad you like it.
Hi Steve, thanks for liking the judgements made in this image, just lucky you see! As far as you learning from me, WOW, that could be a controversial subject!! I do find that angling does make a mountain of difference for me! Have a happy Easter Steve and please pardon my tardiness in respondence to back images. Sincerely, Marilyn
Hi Steve, thank you for your nice and encouraging remark on "Palm House"! I appreciate it very much! The palm house is surely worth a visit - I haven't been inside yet, but am planning to go soon...

It was very kind of you to leave such a nice compliment on "Collaboration - Spring Desktop 2." Morwyn and I thank you. I hope you are having a nice day, my friend.
Thank you so much for your comments, they are always kind and you teach me a lot too. My moonshot...its rare yes...and with the rain we've been having even more rare..You're a good friend and I appreciate very much the things you say....hug
Hi Steve..wow, high marks from you, such a skilled photographer, means a lot...they ghostown keyhole is one of my own fav pics..but I think its cause I love that town...you MUST go visit there one day..it will capture you totally!!! Just take the "low road" across the bottom of Idaho...and you'll come out at Dillon Montana..and then Bannack is just a few miles off the beaten path..thank you again steve...hug
Steve, many thanks for your comment on Crystal Loon, I'm very pleased you liked this shot. Sigma 105m macro...new purchase, but seems like a pretty good lens.
Both the box, and the jewelry inside are treasure to me. I didn't make the box. I found it in a little store and couldn't resist. The jewelry inside, I did make. It is one of my favorite things to do. Building is building, the concept is the same, if your are building houses, boxes, fractals, or jewelry. It is all a matter of taking the components and putting them together in the correct order.
Hi Steve. Thanks for your comment about "Remember When The Train Built A Nation". it was a time and a place, and we were a part of it. I only wish I'd had my digital camera then ;-)
Hello Steve, I can hear your enthusiasm in the words you left at “Rainbow Lorikeet” :-)
I’m glad you like both the framing and the photo. Thank you, it’s always great to hear from you.
You are so funny, Your comment on Orange Thingy gave me a good laugh. Thanks. Maybe it is . Who knows. Strange things come out of those programs. Your support is appreciated..
Hi Steve, thanks for liking my new friend! Isn't he cute, a bit skitish though. I was mindful of him every minute! His eyes intrigued me. Your right about guarding sheep, in this case, they were used for protecting goats! Interesting!! It was a fun day at the farm. I will revisit again, when the grass is green and color appears on the horizon!
Hi Steve...thanks so much for your nice comments on A Canadian Family...it's hard to believe those cute little guys can grow up to be such a menace...appreciate your visit.:Pat.
Gulp!!! Ick!!! lol Thanks for the support on "Flitzorfly~!" ;) Stars in your eyes I'd rather bet are there because your personality shines through there.
Thanks beans for your comments on "Tillamook Head". For some reason this picture hasn't been will received here. But since I'm very familiar with Seaside and Tillamook Head I thought it was such a beautiful morning and it had to be captured. BTW there is a neat trail up there that lets you hike from Seaside to Cannon Beach's Ecola State Park it is breath taking!! Thanks again,
~Marianne
How Steve, thanks for liking my new buddies! You are totally right, I am mindful of them at all times. I did at one time have two shepards, witch were neighborhood mascots!! They were exceptional animals, but beyond that animals have not been a constant in my life. This affords me more practice, more refinement, and then...............I will be better equipped to compete with you experts!!! Ha Ha! Sincerely, Marilyn
Hello Steve, how are you? I am touched that you liked Chrysanthemum! The sky colours are really neat! All natural, and it made a few other images difficult to edit with cloning of tree edges or wiring, but..........it is all part of the fun of it all.
JuneBug
Hi Steve. Again Arne and I are grateful for your kind critique and support of yet another orchid. #16 was a challenge! lol We are all at our best when we work together, don't you agree? ;)
Hi Steve, thank you for your comments on "Summer Love"! I am glad you found a happy desktop!! Very soon we will be taking outdoor shots and that is exciting! I am sure the flower shops will miss me, what do you think? Sincerely, Marilyn
Thank you so much. Your comment on Rose Among The Thorns has given me a big head. Hope it doesn't last long, as I have the flu right now, and don't need double the headache. LOL
Thanks for the kind words on "Persephone returns", Steve. I just checked the exif info out of interest - I quite often underexpose a little as it's easier to get detail from a dark area than a burnt out one, but this one was as the camera recommended :-)

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .

haha...thanks Steve, for your humorous comments on Nobody's Fool...actually, the cat in the pic is not mine but a friends'...having said that, I must admit I do belong to a cat, currently a white one, but I have belonged to two others in my life, and they ALL trained me well.:Pat.
