This truly looks like a painting to me...These are some of the flowers from that beautiful arrangement that I treated myself to, almost two weeks ago now....And below, a few more.I feel they speak for themselves....At least they speak for themselves to me, without words....
Flowers that are going through their life cycle are utterly fascinating to me....especially after they have been cut and arranged and sit in your home bringing such joy....As they begin to change, in some ways they become more beautiful, to me....
I just love seeing those wavy lines there in the middle...you can really see how designers get their ideas from nature and the ways that nature has of creating beauty....There are a lot more....but I will leave you with just this last one, for now....I feel like I have been painting with the camera with these particular pictures....
Enjoy, Enjoy......
More To Come.....

Good Monday Morning Lady !
Exquisite 'paintings' with your camera ! You truly have a gift at capturing the beauty of those flowers. Wow.
You ought to sell your work -- or maybe you already do.
These would make an awesome series of prints/placemats/coasters, you name it, depending on how you priced them...
Luscious...
It's not the first time you have captured nature so magnificently --- Monday, April 9, 2007 at 7:14:00 AM PDT

I've never heard of "painting with a camera" before, but after this post, it makes perfect sense to me.- Monday, April 9, 2007 at 5:21:00 PM PDT

You are right Naomi - that first photo really does look like a painting from the 18th century. It truly does. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

They are beautiful, Naomi. There's a lot of enjoyment to be had from doing still lifes with a camera. I know you're an experienced artist with paints, so photography is a nice extension of that painting ability of yours. I did one photo last Fall that had a similar affect on me. I wish I could do it more often.

Naomi, I don't know about Tai Chi helping after you get shingles. The research was done with people who did tai chi before getting shingles - not afterward. I'll bet it might help him anyway; tai chi is so calming and serene. Tell him to try it. It may take months, but every little bit helps, you know?

You are a painter indeed with that camera Naomi. It just seems very natural to you....it is hard to explain. But all your photos are just like an extension of yourself. Very real, very enduring, not overdone or calculated...does that make any sense at all?
I am saying you're a natural talent basically! Very pretty colors too!- Tuesday, April 10, 2007 at 7:11:00 PM PDT

Your camera really does paint beautiful blossoms, but the artist in you paints pictures of your own beauty.
