This is my first visit to your website - wonderful, colorful artwork. Your quilts inspire me to veer off from the traditional - something I've been wanting to do for some time. I'll be visiting often!Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-77773776805223649152011-07-11T22:22:23.983-04:002011-07-11T22:22:23.983-04:00Aaah, the beauty of the first photo caught my eye ...Aaah, the beauty of the first photo caught my eye and my heart; I wonder what stories the wood has tucked away in its rings... though they are all beautiful, the first is my all time favourite.

You did a fine job of capturing all the beautiful elements that make this area so remarkably special. I'm drawn to the birds and love quilting them in their natural habitat. Thank you for the wonderful photography ideas.

It took my breath away as I slowly scrolled down the screen, before I got to the verbiage below it. It's absolutely gorgeous! <br /><br />It was followed by the large piece of aged wood with the knothole and the weeds on the lower left corner. The lines of the wood along with the softness of the color is visually very pleasing to me. The knothole commanded attention and drew my eye to the wood, then it's shape allowed it to wander around it and take in the lines and color of the wood.<br /><br />I'm looking forward with interest to see what your choice will be from these photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-179732999040386552011-07-06T17:35:42.965-04:002011-07-06T17:35:42.965-04:00I personally like the fuzzy grass with the driftwo...I personally like the fuzzy grass with the driftwood.<br />JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689367400357625676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-80601072930765394822011-07-06T17:35:08.486-04:002011-07-06T17:35:08.486-04:00I personally like the fuzzy grass with the driftwo...I personally like the fuzzy grass with the driftwood.<br />JaniceJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689367400357625676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-54448988265618564352011-07-06T14:46:45.376-04:002011-07-06T14:46:45.376-04:00Hard choice to make.

Great tips!<br />OK as for faves - when I saw the close-up of the palm tree (took me a minute to figure out what it was), I immediately thought of the 12's "grey" theme. That photo is interesting because it is monochromatic yet so very textural. To pick a favorite is tough but I would go with the blue and green (OK you called them different colors :-). Is that a garden hose? Strong color always grabs me, so that is why that one is my fave.<br />Wonderful pics! Thanks so much for sharing!Gale Wrigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479499709630951743noreply@blogger.com
