Tickled Pink and then some...
Just want to thank Shelley and Simon from Mother Nature’s Finest group for selecting my photo “A Place to Reflect” as one of the group’s featured works. Never in a million years did I ever expect to see one of my photographs featured any where!!! I’m just tickled pink!! Most of you who know me – and who have supported my efforts so generously and graciously- know that photography is neither my gift nor my first love (until recently – lol). [Someday perhaps – lol – I’ll make featured in writing somewhere too and then my joy will be complete – (aren’t I just too greedy??)] But I’m extremely thrilled and very gratified that with a bit of practice, I’m enjoying it more and learning so much about this beautiful and often difficult way of capturing the beauty around us. Thank you Shelley, Simon and all of you so very dear friends who keep on encouraging me so often. Love you all so very much!

Shelley Heath
Hey Lianne don’t be too harsh on yourself, your image deserves to be there. It was definitely a place to reflect for me at the end of deleting 440 pages of images from the gallery. This is when I made my decision of what to feature for when the revamped site went live. I chose a cross section of images that encapsulated the type of photos I wanted to see in the new gallery. Well done.

Very happy for you, Lianne! Keep clicking away. Do cameras still do that? Show’s how antiquated I am when it comes to photography.
