About	Another made up one and back to words and music! Had a bee in my bonnet about using the piano notes A to E. I use A minor chord alot. Then each line of the poem had to begin ABCDE to follow the piano notes. (I am sure you know what I mean Mark!).

I like very much how you cropped it Mary. This is a very composition.
Cheers

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55404} 9/1/2006

Excellent idea, Mary. Your image really moves me because of the verses that brought tears to my eyes. I guess it´s because I´m a mother now which adds another dimension to the entire image. Great work.
All the best,
Annemette

Thanks so much Fabrice- glad you like me playing about with things again!

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Thanks so much Annemette. Takes me so long to work out the visual bits, I forgot how sad the words seem! I just tell myself that the baby's in Heaven, so happiness unknown!

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Thanks so much Ricardo. Yes you are right- the words sad. But happy unknown ending- baby in Heaven (?).

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Phillip- I had great fun doing this- which sounds a bit strange given the sad verse! But thanks so much for encouraging me!

{K:185017} 9/2/2006

Hi Mary,

Excellent feel and poetic photo. I think all aspects of photography, style and atmosphere fall in place like pieces of a puzzle. I'm at a loos for words - this is just - pure. Simple, yet meaningful. A simplicity to remember!

Cheers,

Hugo

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Thanks so much Hugo. Really pleased you liked it. You have given me idea for piccy- pieces in a puzzle- brill!

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/2/2006

Baha even though no words to say, I appreciate seeing your name. (Not easy when there is nothing to say I know!)

Robin Wickenkamp

{K:16448} 9/2/2006

I've been here to view three or four times now...I'm still not sure what to say. Sadness... yes...appreciation...yes, for my "babies" and for your creativity. Evocative and original Mary!
Congratulations!
Take care...Robin

Hi Mary, very nice use off all these different ingredients, and however I like music, I'm not a musician and don't know the basics of the A to E, but I can imagine what you mean. Very artistic image you've created my friend.
Take care and have a nice sunday,

Klaas

Ace Star {K:20559} 9/3/2006

grt work Mary! really i dont know what to say .... creative work, nice composition and style :)

wish you good luck

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/3/2006

You might not know what to say, which makes me appreciate even more that you said that Ace. There are no words that seem complete for death I know. So much we don't know about it....faith again. So thank you.

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/3/2006

Klaas, it is not easy to know what to say about death I know. So somehow it seems more important that you did. So thank you so much.(Especially as it wasn't what I'd call a lovely image- which is why I look at yours of course!).

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/3/2006

Thanks so much Hilton for looking and writing- much appreciated.

Rina {K:26896} 9/3/2006

Mary, this is a powerful image. Tragic and beautiful in it's simplistic message of loss and hope.

Well done and congratulations for an award most deserving.

Keep up the 'outside the box' imagery.

Cheers
Rina.

Hi, Mary great idle and excellent job.

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/4/2006

Thanks so much Barbara. Sad verse I know. But I was very happy messing with the image and trying to find out how to do things!!

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/4/2006

Thanks Mark. Seeing as you taught me alot I am always glad to hear from you! Glad you liked piano. I can't quite let go of words yet- withdrawal symptoms too strong! Now the next thing you can teach me, is how did you know to congrat? (and I really don't undersatand the different things anyway!). But thank you so much again- you started it all!

Mary Slade

{K:40918} 9/4/2006

Means alot to get happy from sad. Thank you Mark.
