Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.

Stunning photographs. Thanks for brightening my day. Bud and I are on vacation and I've very ill with salmonella poisoning for 4 days. I so needed something springy to look at.

Hugs and love to you!
Mimi

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

Love and Big Hug to you both with wishes for a promt recovery and pencil skirt frolic

Thank you so much Angel for your lovely wishes. You bring love, peace and spring warm to our hearts. Thanks for sharing such great, beautiful photos.
I took one your great pic and send my mother with email. I hope you are not angry!
Happy Easter to you!

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

Thank you Krytyna, you are always so gracious.

No, I am not angry (?) particularly with friends and particularly if it is only for you mother's personal use.

BUT, I do want to know which one - as you know I have a copyright on all of my sites contents - unlike some others, I do want the credit due.

This is part of my "living"
I appreciate you letting me know and do hope you have (or are going to) give her full particulars: ALicia M. Ballard,Artist, White Rock, BC. Canada - 2007

You, and everyone else might have noticed that whenever I post from someone/somewhere else, it is with full credit - and link...

I wish you and your family as well as your mom, a wonderful Easter.

Love and Joy

That was a very beautiful tour, Angeldust - I enjoyed it immensely... you've captured so many different colours and shapes and sizes of flower... Mmmm sunny days sure are fine!

Happy Easter to you, my friend! I hope it's been a good one. I hope to be visiting more often, now my writing experiment is done! :-)

Anonymous said...

Hi Angeldust!
Thank you for your permission and thanks a lot for your accurate explanation. I appreciate it!(pic nr 40-blue flower). And Sorry!
I sent my mom (80y.old) Easter Card + your beautiful, spring, blue flower (e-mail).
Love and Happiness to you!

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

Nice to see you Annelisa, hope your "writing experiment" went well
:)

It was fun to be out and about for a change!

I'd say "my whole life is an experiment" right now... and tangled up/boggled down in SAD

Love to see around
Big hug

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

Krystyna dear - I am happy to hear you used it for your mom ... REALLY!

I have often shared and made cards for my neighbours... so, I do share.

I am happy we got to communicate about this, as the very odd time I do some photographic work and (also) I never know when or where some of these might be headed in the future... (!)

I have exhibited photos before - prior to having a PC, and there was no issue then.

As it is now, there are some "different ones" I am not even publising just in case I decide to have a show...
All this is still very new for me too. :)

Thank you for your patience and graciousness.

Big Hug

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

PS Krystyna

40 is absolutely beautiful - blue flowers are my favorite.

Did your mom like them?

rauf said...

Ah ! I love the blue, eh , no I love the red, mmmmm no I love the pink, scratching my head, the yellow ? I LOVE YAVVRYTHING !! WOWWEE! Happy spring day. Sorry couldn't come earlier and I regret it. These pictures would have made me lot happier yesterday when I was miserable.

Dearest Angel, How are you ? your pictures tell me you are fine and dandy. So, I am also happy because I am not the only one posting so many pictures.
What is that guy Early Haalee talking about? who needs tranquilisers ?
lots of love and Hugs

Anne-Marie said...

Anne-MArie dear
So sorry about the snow!!!
But, happy it was not us.
Got another sunny day yesterday.
Rained again this afternoon.

It appears we might be slowly crawling out of this nightmare.

It is nice to see that almost descimated plant life came alive again!

Big hug

The pictures took my breath away and I am STILL amazed ´cos I am in the same WAVE...

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

You know SOngo
- I found that the addage "Dios los crea y ellos se juntan" applies also in cyberspace.

Time and time again, we kindred spirits find ourseldved through this www... it is truly amazing, how we connect from some many different parts of the world.
It proves over and onver again that "there are no accidents in life".

I think the world of my blogger friends and I am very much fond of them as they posses some of the kindess, most creative and generous and, in some cases, very passionate spirits to be. (I'm gonna cry)

I am pleased to know you are enjoying your visits and hopefully feel the love and care that goes into each post.
(when I am not ranting and raving!
lol)

Un abrazo grande
I am glad you "bumped into me" a while back...

Metalchick said...

Hi Angeldust,
Beautiful flowers! I hope you had a nice easter, I had a nice easter break.

Hope you're doing alright.

Take care.

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

Hello sweetie
Good to hear from you!
The weather has had a turn for the "slightly better" which is a great improvement - no, not really a contradiction.

Big hug

trinitystar said...

Alicia M B Ballard StudioGaleria said...

TrinityStar dear
