About "And what are you that, wanting you,
I should be kept awake
As many nights as there are days
With weeping for your sake?

And what are you that, missing you,
As many days as crawl
I should be listening to the wind
And looking at the wall?"

Oh crap you just read my last post and this is a shot of your reaction... congrats on the award, though I favor the Goddess Shirley.

I'm making a rare appearance on the front page today, and was recently featured photo of the day on Webshots, on Friday the 13th where they featured Black Hole unda the patio... guess I make a good creepy shot. Toot Toot, must be my own horn going off.

that's how it is... when you want something from the bottom of your heart even UF understands that... and the results are all positive... even in terms of getting award for BIP...

Good job indeed,

Very emotional... the shine in your eyes is adding a lot...it's like the extreme of your feelings...

i can feel it...

Warmest prayers for you,
Stay Happy and Safe,

Thank you so very much, dear Michele! This texture that I put over myself is actually an inversion of part of my Fallen Log photo.

You have taken on a lot at once, my dear! But never feel guilty because you are busy. Good luck with all those dating clubs...you are a bit crazy...lol.;):):)

Michele Carlsen Michele Carlsen   {K:146013} 7/22/2007
WoW Shirley that is beautiful both your image and your 'about' .... I feel soooo guilty for being sooo behind & I have great reasons besides the fact that we lost power in LC for 4 hrs. today,as soon as I got home from work - yep!

I work 6 days a week and begin another job 2-morrow at the Pelican...in PC. & I joined 4 - not just one@ BUT 4 dumb 'Dating clubs ' at once ...how dumb is all that :((
Am I forgiven ?
I guess YOU can't really forgive if a person is that dumb they do end up punishing themselves trying to do it all...and it's impossible.

Anyway - I love your image , it's a well deserved 'award' ... It's like there is a transparency over the image ..? or you're under -water, or behind glass with water on top but it's a great effect ....

I am sooooo sad about dear SRNA..... I know her strength but her choices seem a bit down lately maybe because she knew she was sick...I do Love her...I worry a lot for her...

Take Care,
Michele~

El retrato me gusta...el ángulo de captura es muy bajo y defoma la imágen...el plugin que has puesto encima del retrato o el montaje de otra imágen no favorece el encanto de una excelente expresiòn...Ya es hora de aprender español... con Alicia Popp lo estás haciendo. (juasssss) LUIS;)

Hi Shirley,
A truly beautiful piece of photoart. The composition is gorgeous,showing emotion portrayed in the pretty eyes and the slightly open lips. The overlay is lovely, softening the picture but not the emotion of the image.
