Happy Valentine's Day - my photographer friends

[Mira]

Last year on this day I broke my upper arm. I was in the middle of running a contest, and had to type all lower case in excruciating pain yet somehow pulled it all off. You guys were wonderfully supportive and caring.


Thanks.


The funny thing is I'm in the middle of a contest again this Valentine's day. This year it's a matter of patience and time, and there is no lower case typing and no oxycontin to help me pull it off.


Happy Day to you all, my dear friends.
I'm grateful to have you in my life.

1. Hi, Mira

Hoping you're having a great day!

[Mira]

2. I am having a wonderful day - thanks -

I'm in a celebratory mood. A pretty tricky year is now behind me!
The rose is magnificent. I will forward it to Georgia O'Keeffe.

3. Hope you had a lovely day!

9. Thanks TBF -

this is a perfect specimen. Creamy and Clean and of wonderful Color.
Like the three C's in Diamonds.

4. Same to you!

I don't know why I'm posting this, I suppose it's posting withdrawal syndrome or something. This is what I do with melted beeswax ...

10. An artiste and you know it! I think this is

worthy of being exhibited. Makes me smile wide, and I think it's really a fine sculpture. I hope you have more and save them.

5. Actually, this is more in keeping with the day

11. Beautiful - the depth of the color makes it.

I'll save this for next year. Thank you!

6. I remember that and it seemed to take

forever to heal. Happy V-day Ms. Mira, a bit late but well cleaning and packing and trying to prepare the velcro dog for me being gone. The rest of the zoo crew won't care. lol Stay healthy and in one piece this year please.

Hopefully the old man will not break anything this year either.

12. I swear! CC - put a camera in your hand

and something wonderful happens.
I remember when you came back from being absent because of pain and healing broken bones. I had arrived while you were recovering and when you came back it was with photos of mourning doves, or birds, anyway, and I was an instant fan of your work.
Have a spectacular trip. I happen to know you will be in what is God's country to me. That is all I will say to give the group a teaser until we see some photos.
The light and the color in your portrait is perfect and the pose is so sweet.

7. Dear Mira,

I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day.

Yesterday was my daughter's 19th birthday. We celebrated by ordering Chinese take-away and playing Scrabble.

13. I appreciate the good wishes, and thanks for making me laugh.

I suspect you found that photo and it made the wheels spin in the foolish compartments of your mind. I'm thinking I might see if I can shrink that down and use it as a little picture for a while. You won't mind - right?

Playing scrabble with your daughter for her birthday and eating Chinese sounds like high times to me.
To have a child born on Valentine's day must be a special happiness that keeps on giving.

Thanks for all you are.

8. Happy (belated) Valentines Day!

[Mira]

14. So very lovely. The words,

and the image. How did you do it? Obviously real roses are involved.
Thanks Callalily. You mean a lot to me out there in where cyberspace comes to a friendly resting place called the Photo forum on DU.

15. a bit late, but

Hope your Valentine's was great.
