ReplyDelete"a soft, dreamy, slightly blurred, yet more intense look" - that could also describe the way in which I see the world!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful tribute to autumn, I especially like the image with the leaves on the ground...making their departure!
It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have an "ortonish" on my photo editing program, and it is always one of my faves to use. That last one is pure magic to me!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Bonnie. That last one is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteDreamy. Slightly skewed. Intense. Beautiful. Yep, that's life for ya! I need to try this Orton Effect on some of my pix, I think.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are already gorgeous, Bonnie, but when you add such meaningful words with them, both take on such a deeper meaning.
