Butterfly Dreams - (view larger plse)

When the confines of Reality become fuzzy and unclear - just

DREAM.....of a place so beautiful ...one you've never seen. It's warm

there and sunny, the aroma so sweet, and butterflies dance to a

heavenly beat. It's music like none you've ever heard before; your cares

nonexistant, will have been left at the door. It's a world you've been told

of so many times before. So wait for me, please know I'll follow, and

we'll talk some more, of the One who said He would,...... and was

waiting,......... at the Garden Door. (thankyou for viewing, as always,

Gail)

Gail:  Great colors! The title really works!   How's it going?  Tom

Many thanks for your kind words Tom....glad you liked the image. And thankyou for your concern....such a difficult day yesterday...one I'm sure many have experienced. But without the prayers and good thoughts of so many on PN, I'm sure it would have been worse. Dad and I, in good conscience could not provide the proper care Mom needed, so it was decided to take her to hospital for now. Very weak, pain severe, but she could have just been having an 'episode' yesterday. We should know better in a bit and I"ll be going up to hospital soon.  I wanted to go up in the night but her nurse assured me she was sleeping.

This disease touches so many all over the world, and so many I've spoken to on PN....imagine. It is the one devastating common denominator all over our Globe....but' World Peace' that could be worked out,( not without much determination), but it does not require a Scientific Miracle Cure. Mankind has the tools if they wish to cooperate and use them....so sad. Yet we all share to some extent the ravages of this disease called 'Cancer', and cannot bear to see the pain our loved ones experience. Yet Nations are determined to destroy each other when it is not necessary.  Perhaps we do indeed need one very big 'INTERVENTION'. Thankyou Tom....will write you later to let you know how she is. With many thanks for your toughtfulness at this very special yet now difficult time of year..............Gail

I can see the butterfly, amazing how it is emerging between the other shapes and given such an outstanding pleasant effect, the tone is so special this time with this work and much cooler which again indicate how far you could maneuver with this remarkable stile of work.

Wonderful job again my friend, thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

I don't know if you can see them, but there are 4 butterflys...within layers...and more of a soft effect to blend the images.  So nice of you to drop by and give me your valued input. 

Your images of Shri Lanka are excellent and I look forward to seeing them each time I log on.  Many thanks again for your support, Gail

Hi Gail, I enjoyed your beautiful , creative and artistic photo full of lovely color and detail. well done. Glad to see you posting a photo and giving yourself a little break from family care to take care of yourself with your photo work. Take care and best wishes.  Paul P.

Yes ....last evening my mind just had to be 'wrapped up' in something else, and my photos are like a form of 'therapy' for me.  Thankyou for your input on  this image....soooo  appreciated.  I hope you haven't been buried too much more of the 'white stuff' !! take care Paul...most sincerely, Gail

Wonderful, clever work, I love it (7)

Merry Christmas and Super New Year

Hi Gail,

Fascinating colors and nice dreamy effect..............Best Regards, Kawan

 

Another creative dream-work. It’s a fantastic composition with psychedelic effect. Hope while creating this sweet musical composition you got a creative pleasure, which could give you some peace and tranquility in your hard days. All my best wishes for  your Mom. Best regards.

The dream effect  is easy to work with this one, Gail.......after that introductory text ! The Monarch butterflies and the peonies(?)  blend nicely together , yet keep their characteristics  clearly visible . We need this trip!  Be strong , this  is a srtength-demanding Xmas for  you  . All my best wishes!

What a lovely effect. A garden full of flowers butterflies and some mystery. If I were a little elf this would be my jungle of giant plants and huge flying insects full of beauty and wonder.

Somehow I can't help thinking of Alice in Wonderland or the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Very nicely done Gail

All my best, Bill

Gail: Hang in there!!  Tom

So nice to see this in winter time,is like a drop of freshness in colors,shapes and almost smell,is very relaxant this image,my best thoughts to you.

I'm not sure which is more beautiful - the photograph or your extraordinary prose.  You are gifted on both counts.   Enough said . . .

My best,

Preciosa y creativa composicion, con una luz y tonos sensacionales.

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Beautiful, soft work spiced up with a dash of vivid color. Creative and beautifully done. I think this work must have been intuitive and from your heart. I see your mother in this. Did you know that butterflies are a symbol of rebirth and new life.....

My prayers and best wishes for peace and serenity to you and your whole family.

Lovely work as always. Very artistic, charming and in a class of its own. Just amazing.

Thanks for sharing. All the best. Regards.
