Terrific presentation!

And thanks, Fred, for adding your always thoughtful insight. ~~~~~~L

Thanks to you both for your comments.

"They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. . . ."  ~~~~~~~L

What a heart-grabber!  Beautiful. Timeless.  And, as is your trademark, her expression makes it. ~~~~~L

By bringing it to our attention, it can now be appreciated.

Happy birthday! ~~~~~~L

I appreciate your comments, Saad.~~~~~~L

Thanks, Saad.  ~~~~L

Thanks, Saad.  It seemed more mysterious to me presented in black and white.~~~~~~~~~~L

Thanks, Saad.  This is one of my personal favorites.~~~~~~~~L

Fred, thanks so much for your earlier thoughtful comment, which I somehow missed.  

Drew, you flatter me.

Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~L

Nice one, Jack. Reminds me of some of those incredible and creative album covers from the good ole days. ~~~~~~~~~~~L

Such a collage of adorable (and quirky) elements you've captured in perfect light!  Nice!  ~~~~L

You sure know how to charm the ladies, Carlos.  Great shot! ~~~~~~~L 

Nice shot!   Can always count on you to rattle our imaginations!  ~~~~~L

One of the things I admire most in your photos, Jack, is how you present them. To be able to take an interesting scene and present it as you do sets your work apart.   This photo and Under Observation are perfect examples.

Sorry I'm been less reliable in commenting on your work than you have on mine. ~~~~L

Thank you for sharing a thoughtful comment.  Ambiguity------forcing the viewer to use their imagination.  ~~~~~~~L

The light creates a spell. . . .an aura. A beautifully captured moment.   ~~~~~~L

Beautiful work, Carlos.  This may be one for the archives since newspapers are nearly obsolete.  Only those of us  from this gentleman's era still sit down to read one.  ~~~~L

I sincerely appreciate your comments since I often fear that the hate is overtaking the sanity and reason in our country. My 6 decades have taught me that the pendulum swings from one extreme to the other.  Still some of the current vitriolic attitudes make we worry that we're headed for the proverbial cliff. I agree with Fred that ignorance is largely to blame but how do you get to those who don't want to know the facts?  

Thanks again for reassuring me that I'm not alone in my concern.  ~~~~~~~~~L

Pure.  Basic.  Real.

I appreciate how you always inspire. ~~~~~~~~~~~L

Beautiful. 

Knowing how you connect images to lyrics, this one made me recall the words to "Child of the Wild Blue Yonder" by  John Hiatt.  An old fav of mine. ~~~~L

Your photos instill such emotion and contemplation. Every viewer can relate in some way.

Beautiful.  ~~~~~~~~~L

The lighting is perfect. Your framing treatment is perfectly suited.   Unusual.  Nice work. ~~~~L

Good eye, Drew!  ~~~~~L

To my small but loyal support group, thank you so much for your patience with my absence.  I'm sorry I've neglected your work but I will make up for it.  Promise.

And thanks for your appreciation of this one.  One of my recent favorites.  ~~~~L

This is where I've been taking an early morningwalk of late.  Peaceful. Quiet. Except for a few other early walkers, its just the sounds of the river and the birds.  A great way to start the day.

  Pink Floyd----always good lyrics, Carlos.

Thanks for your comments.~~~~~L
