Aglaia again you’ve inspired me to quote something so I’ve chosen the Lyrics by Leaves’ Eyes:
One million crystals on the outside of my window
One single thought, a thought of missing you
But only one word from within me
Describes the thought without of you
Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know
One million crystals
Not enough to page your beauty
Beauty of your soul
300 days I counted
Almost a year,
A mere of missing you
Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know
Once again waters change
Winter spell comes to life again
Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know
Ice crystals on my window
Hide frozen life inside
Ice storm outside these walls
But I feel my heart is warm
Another wonderful photograph that inspires us all! Well done Aglaia!Sxxx

Does Agalia have a garden up here or is this a New Zealand thing? Sorry Aglaia to use your image thread to discuss things with Missy B. but she wont answer my B Mails.
aglaia b replied

JenniferB
I have too answered your B Mails!!! :-P

JenniferB

JenniferB
GGGGggggggrrrrr Andreas!!! :-P
that will NOT earn you any pre-marital celibacy promises from me!
psst aglaia… beaches are very horny little places to perform in too!;-)andreasphoto
horny beaches? – NZ seems to be a interesting country
eon .
Aglaia, that would be quite a place to lie in and take in the winter sun under 5 blankets.
aglaia b replied
5 blankets, can’t we all squeeze under the one! LOL ;-) xox
JenniferB
oh no! aglaia! I’m still trying to recover from the blackberry nettle rashes after romping in that thorny little garden!!! I think MtnMan has a lovely spot all laid out there waiting for us though… :-)
and yes andreas… New Zealand does have some secluded, stormy, horny little beaches! :-P
aglaia b replied
oh yes marks lovely garden, we must pay him and it a visit soon! ;-) xox

andreasphoto
hmm, how did you get the face that bright – I thought the bright spot in the back would be the sun…
stunning techniqe
aglaia b replied
yes you are right that is the sun.
the film plays a big part too and the afternoon light is way less harsher at that time yes!
thanks my dear! ;-) xox
andreasphoto
you may delete the sea monster affair stuff – although it’s only poor octopus in the market
aglaia b replied
ha ha, yes i may delete it all hey! LOL

Aglaia I just have clouds there fun to float in. Im inside one now.
JenniferB

JenniferB
closer to me… I want to whisper something in your ear… ;-)
wont be a sec aglaia and andreas…
eon .
So Aglaia, did mark give you a key to his garden? Or will he just let people romp on in. He does seem to have a very beautiful garden.. One he must derive a lot of real world pleasure in. and it would be so nice and warm there now.
aglaia b replied
i’m sure it would be warm, however the real world beckons me once again and i bid you adjure! ;-) xox
eon .
So Aglaia… You must have a heater there to I mean you mentioned a blanlet being wrapped around you. I think my Hook Island would be the palce to be on this particularly COLD Melb. evening. Gotta love Qld weather.

I have a norse/germanic background. I was born on an island in the Baltic. And I really identify with this shot, it is beautiful … a beauty that can be felt as well as seen. The background reminds me of photos my father took many decades ago of the polar midnight sun. Love the title, too.
aglaia b replied
such a lovely comment,
thanks so much matakupat. ;-) xox
