I wish to lay all life in this grass and to look in this sky...
Amazing work, Irene!

I love your comment and your use of the arrow emoticons Very sweet of you, come and visit South Africa and you will see our pretty sky! (Sometimes no clouds at all - only blue and hot sun; other days rain and darkness...)

I have been to visit your gallery and followed the link to your holiday destination and looked with great interest at all the photos on that site of flora; some very beautiful flowers that do not grow here! As you can see, I am a very keen macro / flower photographer, so that was a lovely site to visit; thank you.

I appreciate you enjoying my gallery

To visit in the South Africa - unrealizable dream.
Further Egypt I did not go...
At you in a female way a gentle sight on surrounding. Your works speak about it.
Men are more cynical...
Thank you, Irene!

I have recently seen (a very sad) film : "Everything is Illuminated", shot and set in the Ukraine. Very intersting... and the coutryside through which they travel by car is truly beautiful - especially one memorable shot of a huge field of sunflowers.

Lots of love to you, we will continue to be in contact through our galleries and photo-works.

That's beautiful! ^__^ The angle of the shot gives the photo such a broad open and free feel, it's wonderful.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree. Why not go to one of their sunday afternoon concerts - they start at 5:30, but if you go at 3pm with a blanket and a picnic and stuff you can really have a fun afternoon.
