Thank you so much, Kathy. This is only a little preview of the “big” show I will be posting later this week. I viewed my images, and yep, my jaw dropped. Darn! That camera of mine is something else!!! (GRIN) xx Amy
Honey, I just found this in my SPAM. I am not sure if your reblog went through. So I just unspammed this. I’ve been having trouble finding regular WP friends in my SPAM. (((HUGS))) Amy
Yes, YOU would, YellowCable. You know, I have come to look forward to these times of each day as I wait for you to knock on my door at Petals. Bless you for repeatedly coming here and commenting. (((HUGS))) Amy
Dalo, in all honesty, when I shoot shots like this, I really don’t even “see” what I am shooting. I “feel” what I am looking at, as well with a softened gaze, my eye tends to see something beyond 3D. This is not the case with all my images, but this one, yes. I got pulled into the energy of the water, saw with my “inner eye” the grace and beauty of the green branches and how the entire image flowed together. I really thank you for your comment. Bless you! Love, Amy
*tears* This is WHY I have been SO drawn to water. Not just flowers, but water is SO needed to nurture and refresh. I hear the cries as well, Lisa, and they are getting louder. I am covered in goosebumps that you as well hear what I do. Bless you, Sweet Lisa. You are such a Gift to this World. This world is dying as so her people. We both must focus on the beauty and radiate that out to the World. (((HUGS))) Amy
Bless you, because I do feel alone so much of the time. I am so touched by your words and I am so grateful you told me what you did. Today here it is raining, I am hoping to get a break in the rain to dash over to more watefalls in another creek. These waters too Call me. If I were to make a map of all the waters I have gone to, it would be interesting to see IF there is a pattern in my travels. Just a thought. (((HUGS))) Amy
Buy a map and mark them. That may be an easier way and a little more simple to accomplish what would be a very interesting task. Better yet you could probably get a map at the state line of your welcome center for free depending on how far away you are…
That’s a really good idea, Lisa. I’ve been wondering if there is a pattern in where I am going, or if it is random. All I know there is this powerful urge within me to get to waterfalls. Or water. And when I am there, it is as if my spirit merges with the waters and I go into an altered state. No, I don’t understand, but I do believe this is important. I myself am not the important one. For I think many are doing what I am in each their own way. The rain has stopped here, and I have everything packed and ready to go. I hope this break stays for these waters will be perfect now to photograph. I brought rain sleeves for my camera just in case it begins to rain again. Hang in there, Lisa, for in feeling what I do, I know what you do. Stay focused on LOVE. (((HUGS))) Amy
Definitely. I fully agree. We’re each doing our own part. I just do what comes naturally. I’m sure we’ll know eventually beyond just knowing that we’re doing our part. You keep it up too. I’m enjoying your journey. Hugs. 🙂
And I yours, Lisa. I did make it to those falls. I had to make a run for it as the rain began again. But I got what I went for. I noticed the direction I was in. South. I started with falls closest to our house and seem to be branching out. Touched base with falls closest to home again, then again branched out. I have SO many photos to show. I don’t know where to begin. Tomorrow I think I begin with a flower and a wise saying. I’ve been off blogging today. I needed it. With (((HUGS))) Amy
Don’t get overwhelmed by looking at the big picture like I do. LOL. One step at a time. It will come naturally. Let the pictures call to you and write what comes from your soul. Breaks are always good. I’ve been off of blogging today too. I’ve been getting four kids ready for school. Whew! I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself yet. I will be kid free for the first time in ten years!!!! I’ve been longingly eyeing my books.
OH wow, Lisa!!! To have TIME to read???! Heaven! I know what you mean. Taking care of all the special cats I do, running into emergencies these past few months, doing all I do in assoc. with photo, word, and blog … marriage um it’s there …. by the time I get to bed MEANING to read, I don’t think I get past one page. I LOVE to read. Cherish this, Lisa, READ! You will figure out what to do with yourself. It will come back just like when you know how to ride a bike, been away from that bike for a while, and when you do get back on it, you remember POOF how to ride. (smile) I’ve been seriously thinking of limiting my blogging so I can do more for me. This has been really nice, talking with you, instead of running all over the place as I usually do. Yep, one step at a time. And I pray your “instincts” are right and by this winter, things will finally FINALLY settle down. I have been reading my “I Wish” poem …. just getting the feel of it into me. I can actually smile. How about that? Not only do you guys benefit from my work, I do too. Sending LOve and HEALTH your way, my friend. (((HUGS))) Amy
Exactly! And speaking of bikes… I haven’t ridden mine since I got sick. 😉 Sending you love and health back to your whole family. Especially your kitties. 🙂 🙂
Bless you, my friend. My kitties, some, have had a terribly rough time. I have not spoken of it here. I’ve kept my mind on LOVE and Beauty. All is OK now, though. Remember, baby steps will get you to your bike again. I have every confidence in you, Lisa. Love, Amy
Lisa, this is how I feel about you and a few other friends I have on WP. The world has never understood me. And to say the least, I do not have friends due to this. I am so deeply touched that those I have in my life now, even not physically present, are truly TRUE friends. I DO LOVE YOU, Lisa. All will work out. For both of us!!! I believe our bodies have become so worn down due to all we feel, “know”, and “experience”. When things get better, so shall we!!!! God bless you, Honey! It’s going to be OK. You keep on focusing on the LOVE you have in your Life and that around you. And stay determined to rise above that which makes your body dis-eased. I do. And so do you. With all my Love and (((HUGS))) your friend for LIFE, Amy
Ah, the flow of our lives…and the beauty of the waterfall. The way you have captured both the picture and the words continues to amaze me! Love you Amy! Blessings, Phyl
Finally I see this post 😉 (been absence of a day :)) Love it Amy..oh, after looking at this picture, somehow I feel like jumping to river and enjoying the waterfall! Are you going to hang the picture at your home?
I’ve been thinking of taking old pics out of the frames I have on my walls now, and start putting new ones in, and this is most definitely one of them. This home needs New Energy. Thank you, Indah, for this confirmation! Love, Amy
More is coming, my Sweet. Tomorrow I am posting another beauty, fresh and green and full of WATER. I have SO many photos of water it is making MY head swim. LOL I think I have taken at least seven thousand photos since Spring. HOLY MOLY!!!! (((HUGS))) Amy
