This lovely woman was sitting on a bench by the Lake, enjoying the view and the nice weather. She had no idea I was taking her picture. One other thing. She is my Mother. Thanks for the views and comments.
She's a real sweetie I can tell Jim. Very good capture of her deep in though......or as my 97yr old mother like to say "what ?? ......I flew away for just a moment" :)
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
You goof-ball! You had me going for a second! lol She's a very pretty mom and I like the way you isolated her with the fade out. She looks very contemplative today.
This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Did you get a release? You've posted her on the internet JimBob, Mother or not, you could be in real trouble here. I like the colors and the lighting is great. I really like the hazy background. She is probably thinking about you - like in "How in the world has this happened?
She is probably trying to figure out what you are talking about and how you turned out so .................. shall we say...........Goofy? Great post JimboB and you are indeed lucky. I still have my mother and I try to cherish every day.
Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend
Jim, to is so nice, on so many levels. I hope you repeat this shot of this lovely lady when Mother's Day comes around again next year. I think you have something very special here.
An excellent capture of your Mom Jimbob. I know what she's thinkin'. I wonder how that son of mine would have turned out, if i wouldn't have accidently droped him on his head when he was a baby. Great work and thanks for sharing.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend
A lovely capture of your mom, Jim ... she is a beautiful lady. I like how you blurred the surroundings to give more focus on your mom. This is special indeed ... thanks for sharing & have a good Memorial weekend.
First, to be serious, it's a lovely portrait with great composition, framing and DOF and, of course, a marvellous subject.
Second, on the lighter side. I wonder what she's thinking? I'm sort of with Tick on this question! She's probably thinking that it's that Caedes.net's fault - Jim's never been the same since he discovered that site!! lol!
I've read all the upper comments Jim. I can see myself how much you love your mama by your narrative. I know she's got to be as sweet as one of her sons, which is you. Beautiful capture of her with excellent clarity! Your post work on the background turned out beautifully as well! My love to you both.

What a wonderful image Jim...Makes me think of my Mother. Take care and enjoy as long as you can. Times like this only happen once and you have it now forever.
Great shot Jim!! I can tell you are proud of her by posting her photo for all of us to see. What a good son you are!! Thank you for sharing your lovely mom with us:)
Lovely candid capture of your Mom , she looks like she is a very reflective, insightful and contemplative person...a very thoughtful and loving tribute to her Jimbob
