Echinacean Lullaby

Although we had a very humid summer, often there were soft

breezes that were a welcome relief. Now, harsh, cold winds, greet

our faces as we step out the door. Often times this last week,

swirling winds tossed raindrops in all directions, causing me to pause

and be thankful for those hot humid days when I was able to visit

those lovely garden centres that were heavy with the aroma of

summer blooms and I was greeted with such a beautiful bounty of

vivd colours. I must always remember to be thankful for such days

and not complain so much of the humidity. Dreaming of such

beautiful days as I waunder through the gardens in my Photo Files,

will help pass the wintery days ahead. (your visits are much

appreciated, sincerely, Gail)

This image has the most wonderful colors and composition.

Best regards

Lighting here is very appealing with its technical ratio and of great return to the beauty of this image, the colors are indeed very vivid and of very pleasant nature also, the details are so fine and of a great add to the over all quality of this work.

My thanks to you Rashed for dropping by and sharing your thoughts on this image. Your encouragement is certainly appreciated.

Hi Gail,

Very beautiful ...................Best Regards, KA

so glad you enjoyed this image Kawan, many thanks for taking the time to visit and share your thoughts.

Kindest regards, Gail

So happy you liked this image. Truly enjoyed working on it. I'll take whatever mark you see fit! Although 10's are not in the 'mix'! the thought is there,

Many thanks Mike. Warmest regards, Gail

I knew you'd have somehting lovely to say about this image.  We all miss the very days you spoke of.  We've already doubled the rain we had last year in October, it doesn't seem to want to end. But so grateful we have been spared the 'ravages' so many other countries have suffered.

I don't know how these people cope. I guess when faced with such devastation, you have to draw on whatever 'reserves' you have in you, or perish.

My deepest thanks for your visit and 'lyrical' comments, truly appreciate, Gail

PS I  hope Grace is fitting in to your home. I'm sure she is, lovely dog!

I like even the frames here, they are kind of transparent, at least look so and it suits the whole concept! Wonderful colors, the colors of your good soul they are Gail!
