I just cannot get over you photographs. They are breathlessly beautiful. I LOVE the pastel colors (Wow!), and the vast endless space of the land. It reminds me a little of some of the places around here. We have both rugged mountains with rich forests, and then if one turns in the opposite direction there are the vast open space of the high desert. We too have the muted pastel tones of sage green, soft pinks and earth tones. There is very much a dream-like quality to the land, an ancient quality. <br /><br />You really are gifted with that camera. Thank you for sharing what you see in the world. Hugs, Robin <br /><br />PS I replied to your comment on my blog as well. That was SO kind of you. So wonderful to see you. :)Robin Eastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597718374545392421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-77300938624050305052011-05-16T20:35:51.124+01:002011-05-16T20:35:51.124+01:00Thanks for the visit and comment LG - Nam's ju...Thanks for the visit and comment LG - Nam's just up the road from you hey, so don't wait tooo long before you visit ... :)OneStonedCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500359406575114699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-68350810152017874762011-05-16T15:11:57.188+01:002011-05-16T15:11:57.188+01:00Beautiful photos showing beautiful scenery..we pla...Beautiful photos showing beautiful scenery..we plan on visiting 'one day'...<br /><br />LGLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904665278565257746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-56289542803471840522011-05-15T08:13:57.571+01:002011-05-15T08:13:57.571+01:00Hi Penny - the original images are very large so I...Hi Penny - the original images are very large so I use an image resizer to make them smaller and easier to load ... it appears that you cannot make them larger through the internet ...<br /><br />... if you would like any of the pics I can send the originals to you ...OneStonedCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500359406575114699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-87771851721574837092011-05-15T08:10:57.601+01:002011-05-15T08:10:57.601+01:00Haha ... thanks Oswalso ... perhaps I should have ...Haha ... thanks Oswalso ... perhaps I should have named this post 'Bach Road Through Paradise'?<br /><br />Megan is enjoying the desert and the absence of crowds ...OneStonedCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500359406575114699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-55135562766487949482011-05-15T08:08:56.630+01:002011-05-15T08:08:56.630+01:00Thanks Fazlisa - the north was very green but autu...Thanks Fazlisa - the north was very green but autumn colours were appearing on the hills ...<br /><br />...
