  3. You have such an eye for beauty. That knock out is gorgeous, and amazing it didn't last a little longer … they only last about a day if I cut them and bring them inside. But they are beautiful. Great photos of light!

  4. I know you are not one to toot your own horn, but with photos this beautiful and the fact that you can operate a camera in the manual setting, I think you can safely call yourself a photographer. Your work is really good! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and brightening my day!

  6. You do a beautiful job with your photography. If it snows here, I shall be going directly to bed and covering my head and I am not kidding. Enough of this insanity already.

  8. You ARE a photographer!! I think it's that urge you feel when you see something beautiful or unusual that makes you run for the camera...that's what makes you a photographer. That's what makes wondrous photos. Anyone can point a camera and take a picture, but only those with the urge can create photographic art. You are one of them.

  9. I agree with everything Nancy said. Great pictures! Even before I bought my first "big" camera (a Minolta) at the age of 15, I've always seen the world through a lens. It really is a form of art, and you're gifted.

  12. Beautiful my photographer friend! You are an inspiration and want to make me learn to use what my camera was created for. I could just sit and dream the day away looking at your second photo of the leaves glowing among the trees - just lovely.

  18. You really do take amazing photos and I always learn something. We are having a rain shower tonight...much needed...so maybe I will try to get some rain droplets in the morning. We have such BRIGHT sunshine here that I have a problem with things looking washed out by the light. Hugs!

  19. Debby, you got some very beautiful photos of the golden hour in the woods and your gorgeous roses and flowers. The pink knock out rose is gorgeous! Today was much better, after yesterdays rain/snow mix, with sunshine and clouds but it is still cool. It should be a nice weekend though. Keep on snapping those beautiful photos!

  20. These are so beautiful! Your woods - wow! We've had an overall gloomy spring, but it has made me enjoy the days of sunshine and blue sky all the more!

  21. B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! I love to take photos too, but only for fun. And I love droplets of water. It just really makes a photo even better. ;)

    Its been dreary here for days and chilly. I wish the sun would come out and say hello. The high country has been getting snow. Like you say anything goes in May. Silly weather!

    Have a magnificent week, Debby!
    Thinking of you...

  28. Isn't the Lord good! Such beautiful delights await us, only if we look! I love how you have shared such gloriously beautiful pictures of the handiwork of the creation of the Lord. We get that golden view here too at evening sunset, and it is amazing to see the shadows and colors on the trees, simply magnificent! We are in a season of rain here too, and it is a good thing, we will take all the rain we can get! :) Have a wonderful week!

  30. Amazing photographs...light can really create magic in a photo depending on the angle and perspective. I love taking photos early in the morning or just before dusk in the evening...that is when the magic happens :)

  34. Debby, flowers always look prettier with a few drops of rain on them. Your flower photos are stunning, and I really like the picture of the rays of sunlight looking like the woods are on fire. The pink rose is pretty, and it looks very similar to the color of the roses in my garden.

    I told Diane that your photos are exceptional, and I truly mean it. :)

  38. Such beautiful photos, Debby, and I just know just what you mean about noticing light and wanting to grab the camera. The more I take photos, the more I notice things: light, an angle, a weathered door, etc. I also like your watermark. It's there without being obtrusive. Great idea!

  39. I am trying to play catch up on my reading. I sure wish you could send some of those droplets to us! This drought is getting old! I miss seeing the droplets on everything. Love you photos.
