some of my favorite images Picker's Dream - (View Larger)

Not surprisingly, Pierre said it for me... 

What wonderful memories this brings back, some of a different sort of 'picking', of blackberries in the old meadow behind a resurrected 300 year-old barn in which I and my parents spent many happy times, on a mountainside in Vermont.

Thank you once again for 'taking me back to those happy times', with your art.

Amazing colors and texture, the lamp reminds me of my childhood as we use this kind of lamp after 10:00PM the plant was shot down and we wonder around the house with this type of lamp!  My friend goes to garbage sites and rescue these kind of things and repairs them and sells them! Thank you for sharing antiques! In Key West the tour guide say it best " Here all junk become antiques"  Warm regards my friend.

Thank you for visiting and sharing your input on this image, truly appreciate your time, Gail

My Dad does the same, over the years he has had some truly good 'finds'. I love things that appear old and worn. And often it is these very things that become my favorite possessions.  I have and will pass them on to my children. Thank you for sharing that info with me jorge, and for taking the time to comment, sincerely, Gail

Excellent still life image, Gail...wonderful composition and colors...very nicely presented with a painterly touch...simply superb...7...my best

Hi Gail, anyone can put a bunch of objects together, take a picture, and call it "art". But not everyone, in fact very few people, can make a pleasing composition, something that everyone likes to look at. You do it very well my friend! This photo turns me green with envy. I rate this highest possible, Congrats!
