"In a moment dear ... Gnana is reading"

Thank you Hilary. I was going to try painting over the “blemises” but decided against it. ... My goodness you are so quick to respond!

Why thank you kind sir. You have been doing some great work lately. Imagine my surprise to respond to Andy;s suggestion to put this shot it Live Love Dream. It was featured. Wow

Oh my gosh. Thank you … looking at other featured work makes me value being featured. Thank you!

Thanks Bill … and oops I have not used correct spelling in your name in an acknowledgement recently. Sorry … but I have a very strong feeling you know who you are!

Thank you Alan. Both these people are very precious to me and to see the strength of their relationship is a beautiful thing indeed.

Thanks Sis. Appreciate that …, and yes good idea. I have just favourited your North Hawaiin Beach.

You are welcome to favourite mine! xx

You got it! Thank you.

Thank you Steve … I guess my personal connection to the subjects shows.

Pene ,..., that is a lovely comment. Yes … I will be able to pass it on to Ashleigh. She loves her Gnana .,.,., as she calls her. It was a privilege to witness their time together. Now 8 she still visits her Gnana but will be heading for Darwin … and the distance hmmm.

Thank you … yes very precious … quite regardless of the quality of the image … very precious. Your visit and kind words are appreciated!

That is kind of you Trudi … thank you for taking the time to visit.

Thank you Charles … really think you got the essence of this. Appreciated your visit.

Awesome comment. And yes …like being the fly on the wall. Neither cared that I just happened to be present. Thank you for your visit!

So glad you shared your time and your thoughts Kathryn. My darling mum is 91 and still doing well! I can only imagine how much you miss yours.

So kind of you to drop in and comment. The two of them are very precious and dear people. And thank you re the lighting … being a beginner I almost did not post it!! And yet it was what appealed to me too ... quite apart from their postures.

Thanks Evita. Very kind of you. Your visit is appreciated!!

Funny you should say that ,.,., the Candid group knocked this one back … even though I had said it was not a set up as such. Never mind. It has been a popular image. I think many people can relate to it. Thanks for your lovely comment.

Thank you … it is a lovely surprise and congrats on yours too!!

Always generous …., thank you Jerame!

How lovely …. lots of love!!!

Trevor …. good of you to drop by. I love this image because I love the two subjects so dearly. And yes the lighting really did work for me.

Thank you so much!!

What a lovely comment!! Very observant and sensitive of you. Thank you.

Thank you Antanas … and thank you for the favourite.

Thank you Jan … kind of you to say so!

Thank you for returning the visit Cheryl. And what a lovely comment!!

Richard … thank you … that is a lovely comment. They are both very dear to me.

Thank you Brandie!! I love them both!!

That is very kind of you … thank you.

Jan … thoughtful and thought provoking as ever. Thank you indeed and for the favourite … a special thank you. Never taken for granted.

You really got that Lois. It is why your images and your thoughts combine so beautifully in your work. Thank you.

Thank you Ken. Yes as time passes you begin to realize just how precious those images are. Ashleigh is now nearly 8 and heading along way away to Darwin – making these connections all the more valued.

Sandra … what a positively lovely surprise. Your recognition and encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Oh that is such a great comment. And she is 91 and will be sharing a cuppa with us at my daughter’s and granddaughter’s home tomorrow for Mother’s Day … (Ashleigh is now 8!!) .. so not a new image! A special time for us, as that branch of the family will be departing to live in Darwin in a few months.!! Needless to say there will be lots of “filling up with emotion”!! and lots of “nattering”

And a favourite too!! Thank you for that!

Thank you Jens. Both these are dear and precious to me,

Simon … absolutely chuffed with your comment, the fav and a feature too !!! Thank you indeed.

Thank you Maremarie … they are both precious to me!

Thanks for your lovely message Wendi!! Our mum has been the lynch pin of our family. I thought Dusker’s idea to both post an early image and a link was a real tribute to Mum.
Once again … thanks for visit and comment.!!

Why thank you!! Nice to say hello!!

Peter … what a heart warming comment. If my image has moved you to catch up with your mum … then I am delighted!! Thank you for taking the trouble to drop by!
