The Gift (2 IMAGES)

    1. Richard, what I consider to be my best work, this one is not it. Truthfully. I felt so upset when I took that picture of the Rose that my hands literally shook. That photo did not come in clearly because of that fact (hands shaking) yet this Rose insisted She be seen. So I got creative in the editing room to bring the “emotion” to the surface. I am no longer sad. I am again walking into Magic. My next posts will show this, and let me tell you, those images I consider to be my best work. (smile) Ah, the Inner Critic, is alive and well this morning. LOL I’ll be over later to see you. I have my Yoga class this morn. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

  1. Beautiful photos and words Amy. You do this so very well. I want to mention that the link I received in my email, did not work. I think it has the date of a draft post (09-23 vs. 09-26). I just wanted you to know in case it looks like your views are off. You might want to reblog this yourself to get an email that works.

    1. Dan, just letting you know I had trouble posting this morning so I deleted the post you are talking about and reposted a new post. You should have the link in your email box. I don’t know how I did it, but I had too many tags on the original post. You go over 15 and it will not show in the reader.
      And thank you for the compliment. I’m moving full steam ahead and tomorrow you shall see True Magic again! Now I am really excited about Autumn!!! 🙂 (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

  2. I don’t want to spoil the mood, but apparently, the USA benefits from having slightly different mineral compositions in your soils from the soils of Europe. Both continents’ plants and trees are fairly, similar, therefore, but you will always enjoy much more vibrant colours in the autumn leaves.

    1. Well, then, John, you will be enjoying Autumn’s colors through my eyes. My next couple of posts do not have the bright Autumn colors in them, BUT, what they do contain should tickle your imagination. (smile) Let’s just say I walked into Magic and when you see what I saw, you will gape in wonder and in awe. A promise from me to you. I’ll be over in a little bit to see you. My stomach is calling me …. LOL (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

      1. When I say I experience Bliss, I am not joking, Erika. Again just by being outside this evening pulling weeds gently and beginning to cut back my Roses, such Peace, such Bliss. To the point I feel high. And I am not except on Love. ❤ ❤ ❤ When you see the posts that are coming, get ready for Bliss. And astonishment. I can hardly wait until tomorrow comes. LOL

    1. Yes it is! I searched for a way to tie in my saying goodbye to my flowers and a hello to Autumn. I did it. And like always, this post just happened. The leaf photo wasn’t taken until yesterday while this post had been written for about 5 days. Magic. Purely simply Magic. 🙂 ❤

    1. Thank you, Maria! Those leaves are from my Japanese Maple Tree that we have in the front of our house. The “pattern” of orange jumped out at me and that is when I grabbed my camera. SO glad you liked this image! Me too. 🙂 Hope your weekend is a good one, my friend! Love, Amy ❤

  4. Thanks for this one, dear Amy. I love all 4 seasons, and felt a bit lost when I lived where they did not exist. There is something so rewarding about experiencing nature in all its forms, yes, even winter has its beauty for me. Autumn has always been a favorite, starting with the symbol of returning to school. I love the smells, the colors, the flavors of the Fall. This is a beautiful post. ❤️
