Nice Shot, Dolores. By the way, Dolores was my grandmother's name. I am from Brazil but she was from Spain. #143928

Dolores Neilson July 16, 2003 0

Hi CArla!! Thank you for your lovely post! I appreciate that you took the time! Yes, "Dolores" is a Spanish name and means "sorrow". I hate that it means "sorrow" but I like my name anyway. My father chose it...must have heard it somewhere. Happy Day!! #143937

..that girl is a natural and great talent ( and the picture tell us
already) so: great combination.

Again a proof that sharing nice and important things - like art & photo's -
could give a surplus in the quality of our lives.

Good morning dear Gunther!! I am deeply appreciative for your post!! I know it takes alot of time to comment and to include me is a wonderful little gift. thank you for gracing my image with your comment! Happy day!!

Hello Darren! Ah yes, the eyes..so important to at least have them in focus... though I had such difficulty with this short depth of field.
