Hiiiii dear Andrei!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!! Always an honor when you drop in!!!! Do you know, I still remember your advice on that frozen rose … it was about a year ago now that you told me how to do it. My dear hubby asked me tonight if I wanted him to clip the bushes back … and I said … no, I’m waiting for the blossoms to get a good frost some morning.

OOOOO jesika!!!!! Thank you for your lovely message … I think the BEST part of photography and of RB is the connection some images make … between us, the photographer and the viewer … but also between ourselves and our memories. Really a jolt when that happens. Bless your heart. I’m going to have to look up the song you mentioned … it sounds lovely!!!!!

Rod, thank you. No magic tricks on this one other than a hint of Orton. I was a bit disappointed that I’d missed the best autumn color, but I’m kind of liking the stark lines and shadows. Always learning!!! Hugzzz!!!
