It means you stop and really take notice. Most people don't - and how much they miss. These photos are beautiful because they capture the mood so perfectly.

They are exactly as you wanted, all but the last one of the tree evoked a strong memory of my childhood, stopping at places like these on the Sunday drive, getting out and being told to run around then back in the car looking for another stop. The tree makes me sigh, it is so beautiful.Thank you.<br />VickixxVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562932795668029251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-81816639988421794802011-05-20T14:06:36.889-04:002011-05-20T14:06:36.889-04:00Being a passionate newbie in amateur photography I...Being a passionate newbie in amateur photography I have recently noticed how obsessive I get with details and wanting to convey a mood in my photographs.

For us, best captured some years earlier in the 'glorious technicolour' [for such it was advertised in a grey, post war Britain] of 'South Pacific' where Mitzi Gaynor sang her heart out on a sun drenched beach to whichever GIs happened to be around!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-8368148476673606832011-05-20T12:51:34.418-04:002011-05-20T12:51:34.418-04:00You are a woman of many talents Gigi, you have pho...You are a woman of many talents Gigi, you have photographically captured the mood you descibe.
