Absoultely amazing! Love the last image, natural really is so beautiful! G.
The beauty of nature is amazingly captured.
great take on the theme Jennifer. I loved the Charles Bronson quote. I love Charles Bronson…did you ever see The Mechanic with him and Jan Michael Vincent…wow what a film.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen that film, but I’ll be on the look out for it now.
Never ever watch the remake…IT SUCKS !!!!!!! But the original with those two is pure magic.

Nice interpretation. My fave is the Emerson quote. Flowers and laughter!
And they are the most amazing, beautiful curve ball images there is. Nature at its best! Thanks.
I love the pictures, but I enjoyed the quotes as well.
A nice interpretation. I love “natural” nature images. A curve ball indeed.
Thanks Jan. I love nature and there are plenty of beautiful curves if we look close enough.
