Yet, another exploration into minimalism. I especially like how this one turned out, and I hope you do too! Comments / critiques are most welcome. Best viewed full screen. Thanks in advance for all the views and comments my friends!
Lori, I apologize for taking so long to get back to you about the comments you left me on "Cross of Fire", "Gateway" and "John's Fathership". As always, your kind, supportive thoughts are deeply appreciated.

Hiya Lori! Thanks so much for your kind words on "Retroburst". Now that everyone's gone home, I have 2 years to work on fractals before the next reunion, lol.

Purple Glory Thanks for the complements and fave! You pointed out most of the things I like about it myself in your comment. We think alike on this one. Thanks again.

Ghost Ship...I can't help it...I will always do something ghostly (and sometimes...dark) amongst all the other nonsense! That's the way I am...That's what I'm comfortable with...Thank you so much for your critique...and acceptance! - Ron

Thank you for looking in at A Taste of Malaysia and for your kind comments. This was mainly Langkawi we visited - the nearest place to paradise I have ever visited. Hope you get chance to visit there too, and one tip - take your camera and lots of memory sticks or film.

Hi again, Lori!
Thanks for your comment on "All The Marbles". That super ball look was one of the first things that I noticed when I was doing it, and I'm glad it worked out so well on the finished image.
Thanks!

Hi Lori!
Thanks for your comment on "Candy Swirl". I appreciate it very much!
And I'm up to my ears in tomatoes now that my Roma's have started to come in. Somehow, I think I'm going to end up with gallons of spaghetti sauce, lol.

Passion Flower Thanks for the complements Lori. I almost didn't get to see this one in person my self. If I had not looked down I would have stepped on it! :o)
Sometimes... Thanks again Lori. Always happy to bring a smile...

Lori, thanks for the wonderful comment you left on "Serendipity". You picked all the same features out that I like about this one too.
And the answer to your question is no, it's whatever the program put on the background, now that you helped me fix that issue. It's black, but personally, I thought it looked like a navy blue instead.

Doe & Fawn 1958 Edsel Mucho thanks for the complements! I tried hard on the Doe and am pleased to hear I succeeded! The Edsel was purely a case of taking it as it came. Though I did add a little light to the headlights to brighten it up :)
Thanks again

Hi Lori! Thanks for your comment on "Moths and Moonbeams". And yes, it should have had a bit more gamma adjustment before I uploaded it, so that was my bad. But you have to clue me in--- IMHO???

Hi again Lori! Thanks for your comment on "Lime Swirl". I don't normally choose a green gradient, but that shade was just too cool to pass up. I'm so glad you liked this!

Lori, I'm a few days late, but thanks so much for your comment on "Altered Perspective". I'm really beginning to love the axial fracture script, so I'm sure you'll be seeing more of it in the future. But thank you so much for the comment. I appreciate it very much!

Falls Mill #1 Thanks for critiquing and complementing Lori. I enjoy places like this too. I really did not want to leave. The foliage is truly varied and lush. There are lots of fish in the stream as well. A true paradise. The building is in very good shape for being 130 years old, but it does show its age when you get up close. I think a well built and maintained brick building like this one could last almost forever. Thanks again for the complements.

Hi Lori! Thanks for your comment on "Teeth!!". I love playing with some of the scripts (even the ones that frustrate the crap out of me!). This one was one that I had to keep playing with to see how far I could go.
Thanks also for your good wishes. I'm hoping this is the last time I have to be sick for awhile!!

Rhonda The Goth...Thank you so much...But I do take my Gothic ways very seriously...I maintain a balance, and will only utilize my skills constructively, without going overboard...and I am a loner and very secular, always have been...I like to be noticed, but only to a point...
This is how I am...this is what I'm comfortable with...
Falls Mill #4 Thanks for the complements Lori. I am glad you enjoyed the series. It was indeed a "Truly lovely!" place to visit. I hope to return there many times in the future.

Closed for the night This one has sat on my hard drive for probably a year just waiting for inspiration. It seemed perfect for the contest. Thanks for the complements.

Lori, thank you very much for that glowing comment and the fav & save on "Four Part Gate". I'm delighted you liked it, but you're gonna have me blushing!

Lori, thank you for such a nice comment on "Let There Be Light!" I appreciate that very much, and apologize for being so lax about responding. You know me, lol.

Lori, thanks for that very lovely comment you left on "Fairy Lights". That one was a first for me, and I was afraid no one would like it. I appreciate your kindness very much!

Thank you for visiting Two Birds In A Tree. It was a lucky shot I think. I'm working on adding more photos to my gallery and as I'm writing this, I'm studying my digital camera's user guide. Hope to have more shots like this...but with skill, not luck!

The rare Agate House is located on top of a small hill within the Rainbow Forest. Pottery artifacts date the pueblo to A.D. 1150 to 1350 - It is thought that this pueblo may have only been occupied for a short period of time because of the limited number of artifacts found...thanks Lori for looking at the side wall of Agate House

I'm thinking about entering the orange contest with some red rock canyon shots..so I am going to upload a few to see which one looks the best. I didn't enter the B & W contest because I simply never take any, in fact I have never entered any contest here... I do tend to like my photo's to be bold, colorful and bigger then life so for the next few days orange will become my new favorite color Thanks for stopping by Ribbon of Colors Lori!
Lori, thanks for that great comment on "Going With the Flow"! You're gonna have me blushing with all those wonderful compliments.
But I didn't say STOP, lol.
I'm so pleased you like this.

Lori, thanks for your comment on "31 Flavors". That swirl reminded me of rainbow sherbet too. Is it me, or does it kind of make you want to run out to the store and buy some? LOL

Lori, thanks for commenting on "Peek-a-boo Pumpkin". And oh boy, what you said about them taking over the garden is an understatement! My daughter and I were referring to the garden as the Pumpkin Jungle. Mind you, I only had about 8 hills, which was far more than we needed. But I never expected every single seed to grow, either. This little fella and all his orange brethren were from the seeds pulled from last year's jack o'lantern, and at the moment we have around 2 dozen orange and maybe 8 or 10 green ones. Fortunately, my daughter works with a lot of people with kids, so we'll be giving most of them away to good homes, lol.

Thanks so much Lori for visiting Autumn Wildflowers. You seem to put a lot of thought into your comments, even your comments are creative! Much appreciated!

Hi Lori, thanks for faving the Venus Lily, I'm very pleased. :-) I hadn't thought about the Asian quality, but I see what you mean. There are a lot of layers in the picture. Sometimes when layers are merged, the quality of the layer style changes, so it seems safer to leave them all separate. I need more storage space... :-)
Hi Lori!...Thank you for your nice comment on my work "Nostalgia"..I'm very glad you enjoyed it!..I was only ,at the right time ,in the right place...and the scene was really fantastic...:)
My sincerest apologies for taking so long to write this Lori (I've been incredibly ill) but thankyou for your lovely message about my orange pic, it definitely made me feel better:)
The Sign of the Black Swan...I'll noodle around with the new one (watermark), and see if I like it...I may have had to change it anyway, being the the one I've been using looks a bit like the "j" and relavent script in the logo used by Jhirmack hair care products...I just checked...This is the internet, and I don't want to step on anyone's fingers, or make any trouble for myself...or this site...Thanks for visiting...
Thank you for the lovely comment on "Green fractal"! :)
My name is Emmy and I'm from Sweden. I'm 12 years old, and I'm not very good at english. :) My cats name are Snuffsan and Lina. My username is a crossing of the two catnames. :)
Hi Lori, thanks for commenting on 'Journey's End'! It was a relief to find that 'save all parameters' workaround; I tend to be pressing ahead with something else when I open Apophysis, but I feel I have to save the random batch just in case there was something good in it...
But it's great to be playing with Apophysis again; I have missed it.
Hi Lori, thanks for checking out "Zenergy" - I'm glad you like it and I hope you'll like my fractals to come. Also, thanks for letting me know about a more recent Apophysis - for some reason I thought development had been stopped.
Hello again Lori, thanks so much for your wonderful comments on "Kloros," "Roseus," "Exire," and "Triumvirate." I'm glad you're a fan of my work and I hope you'll like my fractals to come!
A Different Place...A Different Time......I always kind of liked the Rangers...that one was my second...First one was a '93 2WD that had really gone thru the wringer...Thanks for stopping by...
Lori, thanks for that comment on "The Boneyard". You crack me up, lol. I saw the frog face too, but I thought it was just ME.
Come hang out with the zombie band-- they'll let you dance onstage, lol.

Thanks for the complements on "At the Zoo 1 and 2". I think you must be right about the Fruit-Dove. As for the monkey, well, monkeys will be monkeys. . . lol
Hey Lori,
Yep, Verena asked for red. I about fell off my chair when I read what she asked, lol.
I don't normally work with red, but I couldn't refuse her request.
I am very glad you like this, and thanks so much for the comment you made about it.

Hi lori and thanks for your comments on "Wanderers in the Shadowed Land." By the way, our collaboration got all the way up to "48." lol. Have a great evening ~~ John
Heya! Thanks for your comments on my pic Zaanse Schanse. It really was pretty there (and I have a few more pics from there to post up at some point, too ^__^)
Thanks for your comments on "Georges Island". Glad you liked it.
Thank you as well for your kind comments on "Solitude - a request". I probably should have put a link to the picture in my description to make it easier to find. And thanks for faving the photo. Very much appreciated. Have a nice day.
