Anita,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and a wonderful way to describe RAW. This post is perfectly timed for me. I am in the process of buying my very first real camera... a DSLR, and have been seeing a lot of discussion online about shooting in the RAW (no layers of meaning intended on my part) instead of JPEG. Tomorrow I am going back to the camera store with hopes of coming home with a new Canon Rebel T6i.
Happy Valentine's Day, mon amis.
Judith
So true--the photos are gorgeous. Happy Valentine's Day. xoxo Mary
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you Anita, so happy to see your beautiful and creative blog posts where I can comment. Missed you……..
ReplyDeleteIn this season of love, sending you hugs and well wishes :)
Hello dear Anita, hope I find the right way to comment to you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you again, Happy Monday !

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Anita. As I scrolled down the page my eyes were getting bigger and bigger as I took in every exquisite detail of your jaw-dropping photos! The colors, the composition- everything just makes my heart sing, dear friend. So proud of you and your immense talent!
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteYour words are as beautiful as your photos.. So good to see you here..
The roses are breathtaking!

The loveliest of photographs!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes and God given life themes is from a Bess Streeter Aldrich book. As the father winds the clock each night before bed, he says: "Day's over. Fresh start tomorrow."
Thank God!
Les jacinthes fraîches et parfumées sont le délice de l'hiver en attendant les roses de mai ! Belle semaine à vous

ReplyDeleteI can smell the HYACINTHS and what kind of roses are they?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Spring. Be war Darling Anita. yvonne
What a stunningly beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI have always benefited from that point in life when it is time for a fresh start.
And photography?
I am in a bind.
I have a Canon T3i that I can't get to operate at its full potential.
I have plenty of windows but very little natural light.
It is so frustrating.
Do you have any posts where you discussed your photography learning journey?

So excited to see you back here, Anita, I have missed your sweet words, but have loved keeping up with you via Instagram! Your photos are stunning. I have not yet tried raw shots, but I have been tempted. You have inspired me to try and make a fresh start with my own camera...on raw. I'll keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteQQUE HERMOSAS LAS FLORES!!!!

Beautiful photos happy weekend with love Janice
ReplyDelete... can't find your comment box, so I just put my comment under Janice's comment ... hope that's okay ? What a wonderful blog you have ... Love, cat.
DeleteOkay, so what the heck??! I had no idea you were posting again> WOW, you are becoming an expert with your photography, unbelievable. I would like to improve my photos,but simply haven't had time to learn how. It really is an art in itself to produce stunning pictures. Fresh starts hold such promise, keep it fresh and who knows where it will lead?!
ReplyDeleteUn grand bonjour, Anita.

Oh, cher ami, je suis très contente de vous voir ici! Oui, je suis de retour mais après une pause de reflexion. Maintenant, je suis sûre que ma poèsie sera accompanée d'un art visuel: la photographie. Mais, j'ai tant d'apprendre. Merci mille fois de vos paroles ici, et ce petit poème en anglais me coupe le souffle! Aussi, j'écoute la video que vous m'a laissée. C'est BEAU!
DeleteA stunning post. Stunning.

ReplyDeleteYour photos are so crisp, and refreshing, and breath-taking.
How are you, my friend?
I hear the snow was melting in Minnesota as the temperatures were exceeding the 50's.
Almost time for spring break, a refreshing reprieve from normality.

Hi, Anita,
ReplyDeleteAttended a FREE introductory camera class on Saturday evening to begin the journey to learning how to use my new DSLR Canon T6i camera... RAW is not in my foreseeable future because there is so much to learn. Your photos are a testament to the beauty of RAW.
