Cute But Stupid
still...
Posted by amy (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 28 March 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Still digging in the archives. Still reminiscing. Still stressed. Still waiting. Waiting to be still.
You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.
I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

This one is standing still, in sepia. And that's great.

I love sepia and these daisys really lend themselves well to that treatment. I'm sorry that you are stressed...waiting for something to happen is not fun. But rest assured, it will happen when it is supposed to. Take care.

@Anne: Ah, "Desiderada"... one of my favourites. Thank you, Anne. That strikes a chord within me. I'm taking care... if I don't Dan has a way of figuratively knocking some sense into me... he's figured out how to deal with the lunacies of a Taurus!! LOL

Nice soft focus with good dof, so one can concentrate on the flower itself

I like the photo and empathize... moving is a stressful experience but new vistas open when one reaches the pinnacle of a mountain.

@Earnest: Thank you Earnest for understanding. I'm a fairly impatient person at the best of times and when things like this are totally out of my control... well, I tend to go a little barking mad!! LOL

Yo cutes ,this is a glorious shade of sepia,pal,and check out the lighting..superb.....hang on..!!..I feel a poem coming on:-
Amy's shots are here to see
In the eye of the beholder is beauty
At this time she's waiting to move
In her carpet she's worn a groove
There is a simple remedy
Buy a cool Nintendo Wii
Play new games hot off the press
A surefire way to shift the stress
Then,when you have sold your shack
Relocate and don't look back...
