Just one of my candid shots from a walk near the beach the other day. Without realizing it at the time, I was shooting a lot of "scenics" that day, this shot really reminds me of family Christmases of the past. My mother always decorated with pine boughs and cones, nestling them into flower boxes outside, and along shelves and cabinets and tables inside, She also had a little glass vase with a tight-fitting lid, with pine needles and cones in it. When you opened the glass cover, the smell of pine wafted out. I still have it, and there is still a very faint scent if you open it. I'll probably open it up on Christmas morning and give a little shout out to all of those that aren't here anymore, but linger in my memories.
Beautiful photo Casey...love the memories it evokes...
ReplyDeleteMemories seem to be more and more precious as the years go by...I am glad you can still have a bit of the past with you in the present.
I hope you don't mind, but since I do personally celebrate Christmas, I would like to wish you the blessings of the season and say that I pray for health and peace for you in this coming year.

I don't mind at all, thank you, Mare. And I hope 2012 is calm, and full of good health and peace for you and your family. 2011 has been one for the books, as they say, for so many of us.

ReplyDeleteCasey this is a beautiful photo. I love this kind of composition. I think I could help you find photos for your automotive photochops. I have some ideas for chops also. This is not the place to write about the possibilities though. I think I can save you some time. If you are interested please E-mail me at: bf3915rexmere@yahoo.com. Keep up the great work.
