Hi Simon. On Obstacle, your phrase 'juxtaposes ease and flow with stubborness and solidity,like a seagull heading for a cliff face' is accurate. It is how it seemed. I've gotten so that I know that when I am enjoying gliding, another opportunity for growth is about to loom in front of me! Guess that comes with age! That pic was taken in Dunnville Ontario where Rob and I spent the weekend kayaking and exploring. cheers and thanks for leaving introspective comments. Quiet

Simon! "Dock, you meant" (a silly play on 'document') was taken in Dunnville Ontario last weekend. You are quite right about the crooked horizon. I never notice that in my pics, but apparently I do it often. Rob keeps reminding me of an application that fixes it. For some reason, I don't notice it in time. Hope all is well there! cheers, Quiet
Hey Simon, thanks for the comment on "Heading up stream". I see you're an artist and so am I. I will have to post some drawing ssome time.
Thanks again, take it easy.

Hi Simon, glad you liked my 'stormy waters' photo - this is a bit more dramatic than I usually post and I was unsure how it would be received! sooo thanks for the positive feedback! :) Patti

Tnanks Simon for your nice remarks on Breaking. It was a freezing cold day in June - the late sun was shining nicely on the sea - I have one with the sun but it needs a bit of adjustment.

Hey Simon, thanks for the input on - Mechanized Terminal.
"Darkly evocative" is a good term for what I was going for. I appreciate the possitive feedback. - Jay.

Thanks for the comment on "Into the Forest". That's exactly what I was thinking. A trail of light leading into the dark always puts a differn't twist on things.
Glad you shared your thoughts. - J.
Hi Simon, playing catch up today...thanks so much for your visit and positive words on Peel me a grape, Beulah...always appreciated by both myself and my daughter.
Hi Simon. Thank you for the comment. There is the beginning of a poem there, now. I intended to post the pic, then post the first part of the poem on the pic. But after posting, there were no image mods online to put it in the New Images Gallery. I waited around for a few hours, then finally went to bed. Anyway, I posted the first part of it (the poem) on the pic, if you are interested! The pic is first in a series I will do. Thank you for your words. Hoping all is well with you, and have been enjoying your many art pieces. cheers, Quiet

Hey again Simon,
Thank you very much for your comment on "Rosée du Matin" and for adding it to your favorites. I'm pleased that you liked it so much :)
Have a nice evening,
Jess
Hello, Simon. Yes, there will be 6 in all, with longer writings in 4 and 5. I haven't written them yet, but I can feel them in me so when they bubble up I'll pen them then. cheers, Quiet
hi simon, thanks always for taking time to comment on my shots, your words are always appreciated,and you are so much better with wordy stuff than i am hehe. Jan
I'm glad you liked The Lair 4. I was thrilled when I saw that that picture came out OK from my camera, because it was such a unique rock formation, especially in its lighting. It turns out there will now only be 5, as the story is waning within me (still no set ending yet), and there is really only one more picture that I am drawn too from the batch I took. Anyway, I hope you are having a good weekend. cheers, Quiet
Hi Simon.. what's "done me like a kipper" mean? YOu have to teach this canuck your neat expressions!!! Glad you liked the shot. It wasn't the typical shot, to be sure.. cheeers, Quiet
Thanks for stopping by on Snarls. I often don't brush mine at all either! Well, or for a day or two. It is wavy enough that it looks like an intentional style! Thank goodness for conditioner though.. the snarls are awful. cheers, Quiet
Hi Simon, The Lair 5 pic was the finale to the poem. I've been putting a poem on each in the series, and in the last part of the poem, I get consumed.. Food/Drink was a joke about my having been consumed and now sitting around inside the dragon's gut (the pic being of the inside of the dragon's gut). Hmm guess if I have to explain it, it wasn't that clever after all :)
Hey Buzzer, thanks for the comments on my recent additions here.
I appreciate your input and bringing out what you feel of the pictures as you do so well.
Take it easy.

Hi there, many thanks for your visit and nice comments on Upstate NY...there, as here, you had to be on the lookout for the fall colors as many places had not changed too much or are not getting the usual vibrancy due to lack of rain this past summer...here in Toronto some areas don't have alot of color while other areas, closer to water are nicer...glad I saw this one and that you enjoyed it.

First, my apologies for the lateness of my reply here ... for your having graciously taken the time to comment on one of my recent images/fractals.
Had some internet connectivity issues the last few weeks. :o(
I think that there are a number of members that would love to have you on board as their personal narrator, given the eloquent prose that is the signature of your comments.
And on "Setting Sun" ... you most certainly did not disappoint. :o)
Thanks very much ... always a pleasure and insightful to read your (visual) take.
Thanks so much for your comments on my 'aerial sunset' photo. Have to echo what Les has said above, eloquent truly does describe your way with words. I'm enjoying your work - I reckon we're here to do stuff that interests us not get the C-index formula right, and your highly conceptual approach is something different. Thanks again Simon.
SIMON. thanks for your comments on Mooring and Cooking 101. I have no more pics to post, so I won't for a while. I'll be slipping back into obscurity for a bit. I hope you had a nice weekend and found something cool to sketch? cheers, Quiet
Thankyou my friend for taking the time to comment on my 'Greenish potato' and 'Exploded puffball'. Your kind words are really appreciated! And yes you are right.... some of my friends don't understand why I make shots like this, but I love those shots and will not stop making them!
Greetings
Hello Simon....Many thanks for taking the time to have a look at (CLIFFS)and for your comments,they are very much appreciated...The picture was taken at a place called Porthtowan which is only a 5 minute drive from where I live....Thankyou again Simon....All the best....Mick.
Thank you for coming out of your early retirement to comment on my recent uploads Buzzer I should be honoured. :o)
I know you miss Caedes, but are reluctant to comment in the galleries, just take your time m8t .. people will respond well trust me.
When we going out for a drink again then ?
