What a lovely scene! I like the depth of this image and even better is the warm glow of the evening light. You have done a fine job in both the capture and editing, Patti. There are so many ways this could be presented. I like your choices a lot.

Lorna Shutter February 15, 2010

Wow! This is a cool capture! ... or should I say, warm! Beautiful colour tones and reflections! Fabulous work, Patricia! Is that a Witch's Cauldron by any chance? Ha! Ha! :) #8385196

Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010

It is, Lorna!!! Come on down :)

Thanks! Patti #8385200

Lorna Shutter February 15, 2010

Sure! ... but first tell me if that's a Witch's Cauldron! LOL! :D #8385209

Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010

Of course it is...that's where all of my designer shoes come from!! #8385217

Lorna Shutter February 15, 2010

You mean the black ones with the buckles and the curled pointy toes? :D #8385242

Patti Coblentz February 15, 2010

No No...but if that's what you want I think we could whip some up :) Mine are Italian strappy things! #8385252

Steve M. Harrington February 15, 2010

I am in awe! How can a fine landscape image degenerate to a discussion of footwear? #8385266

Lorna Shutter February 15, 2010

Nice! :D #8385273

Kathleen Brennan February 15, 2010

Wonderful work, Patricia. Unusual subject, treated with aplomb. #8385966

Lorna Shutter February 16, 2010

LOL, Michelle! I learned a new word today ... "aplomb"! I had to look it up in the dictionary to make sure it wasn't a condescending word ... but it was quite the opposite! :)

Steve ~ You know us women ... we love our shoes! ... and like Kathleen said, this is the perfect place for footwear to come from! :) #8386090

Patti Coblentz February 16, 2010

Poor Steve...I'll have to whip him up some shoes, too...something he would be proud to wear...a sandal perhaps, with big flowers attached...meanwhile, you see, Lorna..my caldron not only got us all new shoes, but it whipped up a badge, too...think this little pot is going to need to be placed on all of my images!

Carpe diem, Lorna! :)

Patti Coblentz March 27, 2010

Lorna...there's another new word to add to your quiver (LOL)...he's quite the smarty pants, that professor! #8487619

I beg your pardon! They are modest lederhosen and will look quite smart with my new sandals. #8487669

I think your lederhosen will go quite well with them! ;)

Sorry guys, but I already knew what "Carpe diem" was! :)

#8490463

Steve M. Harrington March 28, 2010

How thoughtful of you, Lorna! They are gorgeous! Do they come with high heels...add some extra toning that seems fitting for the lederhosen.
Perfect for Spring! Gaudeamus igitur! :) #8490622

Lorna Shutter March 28, 2010

Now that's another saying I had to look up, Steve! LOL! :D Sorry, no heels, just flats. :( #8491075
