I had hoped you'd visit because I knew you and I share a love for roses. And the color, was I right? The color is outstanding. Not red, not pink, but BOTH! Oh, the fun I had when he brought them to me. I immediately took out my camera!<br /><br />It's so good to be back. Thank you for everything, and I hope we can chat; maybe when I'm back from Carmel. <br /><br />Much love, AnitaCastles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-14282437644046269472015-06-03T19:38:14.226-07:002015-06-03T19:38:14.226-07:00I have always been captivated by the Afgan Girl, s...I have always been captivated by the Afgan Girl, such much behind those beautiful eyes.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669893312841088841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-16044636486737284992015-06-03T18:24:33.100-07:002015-06-03T18:24:33.100-07:00http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2002/04/afghan-g...http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2002/04/afghan-girl/index-text<br /><br />Hi, here is the link to the story. :-)Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-90190768934816156522015-06-03T18:20:41.924-07:002015-06-03T18:20:41.924-07:00Hi,

I took photos of them before I put them in a vase, and OMGOODNESS, they are stunning. <br /><br />My favorite portrait? Now you have me thinking. I am going to have to think about this because photography is a new love for me. For as long as I've been blogging, you know how many photos I've collected but now, I'm taking my own photos and that is changing everything; it is requiring that I really study and focus on my subject and I am learning a great deal. I am taking photos of flowers for now since the season is rife with beautiful examples, but I think I'd like to try my hand at a portrait. <br /><br />Lovely images and thoughts.

Little Adi Hudea raises her hands in surrender after confusing his camera for a gun. It is powerful and poignant.

She represents all the women in this world living in captivity and turmoil. I have seen updated photos of this girl, now a woman, and she bears the ravages of life on her face - now a Mother and wife in a war-torn country. The American Woman in Italy is very thought provoking, also. I love how she is gripping her shawl as she walks the gauntlet. I think that every young woman has encountered such a feeling.....The Norman Rockwell painting really speaks volumes. I went to see an exhibit of his paintings here in Tacoma, WA and it was wonderful. Some of the paintings were life sized and as clear and beautiful up close as from a distance. He captures such wonderful expressions and detail. No words necessary! I have a favorite portrait that I hang in my home (usually in the Winter, as it has deep tones). It is called, 'Young Girl Reading', by Jean Fragonard. I have always loved books and as a young girl I would walk 5 miles to the library in the summer. This portrait speaks to me. A wonderful post - very thought provoking!
