WTG Jan, this is beautiful.
Harry Oldmeadow
You are getting very clever and very creative Jan — a wonderfully evocative and moody image.
Jan Timmons replied
This means a lot to me, Harry. I worried that ‘fiddling’ with the photo might not seem fair. But you know how ‘tis, with some 60 forest fires smoking up the air here. One has to make do without the availability of a wide-angle landscape.
Georgie Hart
Charming, nostalgic, classy…a very appealing image Jan!
JacquiK

Winsome.
Your photography is really evolving, Jan. I see quite a progression from the good ol’ days on PB.
Jan Timmons replied
Really? Does progression imply improvement, or could it mean a downward progression? Thanks, Rod. That’s a great comment.
Richard Stanley
This is a very evocative image Jan – I agree particularly with Harry and Rod – there is much sophistication and skill evident in your shots these days!
Jan Timmons replied
What a lovely thing to write, Richard. Thank you.
rosiczka
lovely shot)))

The mood you wanted to capture has led you to make a number of decisions … and they have been wise ones. The subdued colours and thoughtful composition invite reflection about this moment in time.
Jan Timmons replied
I’m thrilled to read this, J. Thank you. I assume you notice moments of special joy and peace, also.

KatsEye
I would love to sit and talk with you. I could learn so much about your life and your world. What a way to invite someone to really think about what would be said. The peacefullness and calm is what I feel. Thank you for sharing.
Jan Timmons replied
Stop by if you visit Alaska, KatsEye. And thank you for your kind words. Please excuse my belated response.

Thank you, Barbara. Stop by next visit for a cuppa and a chat.
Roka
Nice image, Jan. Are you going to drag this out to a lake for a shot?
Jan Timmons replied
Up into the Chugach, I think, if I can get someone to heft it for me. I’ll carry the tripod, of course.
Hunniebee
Love this!
