proof you can subtract color and still create beauty

i speak of red or gray...



the blog
and project
from the talented
e l k

you must visit if you haven't already
and see her beautiful work.

~~~

this is just a thank you post
to e l k
for featuring one of my b+w photos
from my most recent post
on her blog.

i like to feature the work of other photographers
on my ...shhhh blog,
and i am usually told by the person i feature
that they would be honored
to have their photo there.
that brings me much pleasure.
so i was very delighted to be asked for permission
to feature one of my photos for the first time.
why, yes, it does feel good!

thank you, sweet e l k.
you made my day.

in fact, thanks to all who left such nice comments
about those b+w photos
{in my last post }.
it was a lot of fun to do
something a little different than the usual.

and for that matter,
thank you to all
who stop by regularly
or once in a while,
and comment regularly
or once in a while
and continue to take genuine interest
in my photography
and even {surprisingly } my words.

i don't always have time to respond.
but it's always apprciated.
for some of you, i'm not even able to reciprocate
with comment love,
because i have computer issues
{namely outdated browser software }
that keeps me from commenting on your space.

i might not say thank you enough here.
i may not seem as grateful as i am.
but trust me.
i am so very grateful
and glad
and honored
that you stop by
and converse with me
in my little corner of the blogging world.

i just thought you should know.
always.

and because may can be such a colorful month,
i better leave you with some color,
and say
"a happy may day to you all!"

{i promise... no more tulip photos.
well, not for a while, anyway.
it's just that i couldn't resist showing you all
a close-up view of that gorgeous little curl
that you see on that petal above
or that fabulous variegation
of the opened tulip seen from above.}
