John Dekker replied
Thanks Dave, it’s a beautiful spot!
Jan Timmons
Good framing and appealing greens surround this waterfall, with a beautiful sense of depth.
Just curious: you worded your profile so articulately and with passion for nature. Did you study literature, writing, and visual arts?
John Dekker replied
Thanks so much Jan for the high praise, I appreciate that very much, and no, I’m just a poor I.T. specialist, with no background whatsoever in literature, writing or visual arts.
Jan Timmons
Ah ha! I had intended to add IT, darn it. My husband grew up in a mainframe, and just absorbs editing and writing.
annibels
