About Spent ages playing with things I love....sea, bluebells, sunlight, trees. Ideal life! Bunged in horse and had a bit of biology as I drew myself on it! (See Mark, I really do not ride!). Mark you have been more help than ever you will know. So like it or not, you are in here! All so faint you may not be visible!

Leave no note

Into my body

Silence never leaves

Leaves mystery

Leaves sound and vision

Clouds leave sky

Leave me lonely

Within Leaves

Leave me strong

Leaves daffodils

stingRay .   {K:136763} 10/2/2006
What a wonderful piece of photoart my sweet Mary and so clever to combine all those elements that you love so much. I keep promising myself to seek out a bluebell wood each Spring and it always coincides with bad bone days:( I love the construction of this and admire the amount of work that you needed to put into it. A lovely dedication also for your friend Mark who will enjoy seeing this I have no doubt. Most of all I love that glimpse of a happy smiling you, how very beautiful you look perched there on someone's body riding the love of your life. So difficult to believe that with your love of horses that you do not ride yourself. This you MUST remedy one day if only to be gently led around. Well done to you sweetie, a feast for the eyes and wonderful creativity. Thinking of you my dear sweet friend. A big hug and all my very best wishes for you......RayX;)


Michele Carlsen   {K:132003} 10/2/2006

Have a nice day dear Mary,
Robert


Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55401} 10/2/2006
Dear Mary
All that you love in one photo - so dreamy and also sad, but don´t worry. You´ll be back!! Beautiful image. Well done, dear. May I ask how you managed to blend the ocean with the trees like this? It looks so magical. I love the colours, too and of course the horse and rider ready to ride into fairt taleland- the unknown.
Best wishes,
Annemette

This is a beautiful composition Mary.
Nice work ;).
Cheers


Jose Ignacio (Nacho) Garcia Barcia   {K:92002} 10/3/2006
stunning wonderful scene. outstanding. 7


Mark Sherman   {K:15484} 10/3/2006
Truly am honored. Though I am amazed you do not ride, though I do believe as you say :-) I've always heard the metaphor of waves of grass or flowers. I like your translation to the reality of that and of course your magical ride. I've never had my picture in artwork before. Trust me you make me really work at photoshop a lot more and experiment too, so were equal on the helping each other part.

Thank you Mary,

Mark


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks so much Robert- you are such a support! Glad you liked my fun!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Annemette. I really enjoyed playing with this one- kept me occupied for days! Wonderful you like! Can't remember exactly, as there are about 7/8 pictures blended. But I do know the trees and the sea were put one on the other and messed with transparency of both. Can't remember what levels I settled for though. But i know that you have done similar things in your images! Great fun isn't it?!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks so much Susie- well chuffed you like my dream!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Mark- I am so relieved that it was OK with you. Especially that I nicked your face from your picture! Chickened out and made it very faint incase you didn't like it!! It was great fun doing it- passed (pre hosp) time very indulgently for me! So your words are great to hear.


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Jose.


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Fabrice. You are right- a dream...and i am sticking to it!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks so much Alicia- pleased that you liked my dream!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Kes. I was afraid to make Mark too visible incase he didn't like it!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
Thanks Galal- you are right- just a dream!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 10/3/2006
