rachel, since I will have the distinction of appearing first on your comment list, please allow me to welcome you to Caedes. I hope your experience will be as rewarding to you as it has been to us.

I want to thank you for viewing my "Among Many Alone" and leaving such a kind comment. I will be looking forward to seeing your posts in the future. - John

Welcome to Caedes Rachel, I hoppe you enjoy in it, although it is quite addictive :)

Hi Rachel. No you are not going crazy in seeing an eye (The Lair 4). That's what it is supposed to look like. It was taken in a cave, though.. not a real eye. Though I thought it did appear to be one when I first saw it. If you visit that pic again, you'll see part 4 of a poem. The pic is one in a series, with a poem/story that is unfolding. cheers, Quiet PS. Oh, and welcome to caedes!!!

Rachel, thank you for adding me to your friends list. I am honored. - John

Hi Rachel, thanks for taking a look at "The Fountain." - John

Rachel - thanks for commenting on "Wide Flowers 2." I am sum what embarassed about WF1 and WF2 in that I do not know the names of the flowers I shot, so I was at a loss to include anything of substance in my narrative. - your friend John

Rachel, thank you for commenting on Ghost on the Water. ~ John

Rachel, thanks so much for leaving a comment on Approaching Enlightenment. Have a great weekend! ~ John

Rachel, that is very perceptive of you! That is exactly what was running through my head at the time I was getting ready to take the shot. Thank you so very much for stopping by and commenting on Advance of the Storm. ~ John

So, Rachel, I hope you now like "Happy and Free." I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, as well! ~ John

Rachel, your comment on "A Red and Blue Playground" was filled with warmth and sensitivity. I think I may have reread it several times now. I do attempt to mold stories and moods into my photos with the use of color, shadows, and light. I hope that I am subtle but I am not always successful. To me, the photograph is the beginning and not the ending of the artistic endeavor. Your comment is very special to me and I thank you for it. Happy New Year! ~ John

Hi Rachel, there was a Arts and Crafts festival going on at the time of this photo, "Summer Relaxation." You can see some of the white tents off to the left. Many thanks for your comments. ~ John

Hi, thanks for your nice comments on "Motorcycle"!

Hi Rachel, I am glad that you liked "A Stone's Throw Away." And, thanks for commenting on it, too! ~ John

Hi Rachel, thanks for commenting on "Tracks Across A Morning." I was very "lucky" to be stopped by this steel dragon on my way to my favorite metro part. Fortunately, I had my camera bag on the seat beside me. ~ John

Thanks for the comment on vista. People on this site are so friendly.

Hi Rachel. Thanks for noticing my first macro, "Self Contained." I love to experiment with form and style, colors and light, and of course, shadows. And, it is always pleasing when someone notices you are up to something. Your friend, John.

thanks Rachel for your warm thoughts on "white rose"

Hi Rachel, many thanks for your wonderful comments on "The Light of Day." ~ John

thanks for the comment! it's always nice to get positive remarks =]

Hi Rachel, thanks for commenting on "Eight Degrees In Company of the Foolish." I had climbed down to the edge of the bank to get that shot. I wasn't going to step on the ice. Not that I care about my safety, the restraint was for the protection of my camera, lol. So, the tree was there and would not move, and I could not get further in front of it without compromising the safety of my equipment. I could have tried cloning it out, but I am only average to below average at cloning. So I kept it and tell folks it is there to add depth of field. ;) ~ John

Hi Rachel, prior to taking "Frozen Lake," I carefully laid my camera back down in the car, removed my axe, and dropped the tree you see in the foreground. There was no way I was going to have a tree blocking our view this time. ;) Once again, many thanks for commenting on one of my shots, I do appreciate it. ~ John

Thank you for commenting on "Fearful". Well, I find the spiders in the garden of my boyfriend's grandmother. :) Mostly when it's not that hot outside and especially at night. I am really affraid of them, and I am shaking almost all the time when I am near them.So, to have a nice photo to upload, I take 20 shots shaking, till I get used to it :)) (kidding).It depends how big they are :P If I find bigger ones, I take one shot and run :)) My boyfriend is always laughing when I go and search for spiders :) I wonder how long will he stand it :P So, thank you for your funny comment, and I am glad you think that the photo it's nice. Have a great day!

Alexxandra.
