Dearest Mary, I'm so glad to see you back! Sorry to hear they didn't take care of all. Please contact my private e-mail (in my profile) for some vital information regarding that.

Such a very lovely work of art you have posted here!:)

Robin Wickenkamp {K:16478} 10/19/2006

Take care...Robin

Michele Carlsen {K:143690} 10/19/2006

Hi Mary !!

I was thinking so much about you today I took a picture of Abe Lincoln on his horse ... because it's near where I work and it's lif-size and found myself taking images of the horse and thinking of You and your horse images and relationships with them... I thought I could always impress you with this statue of the life-sized horse!

I have been so far behind all day long but I had to say 'welcome back' !!!! You are Inspiration Mary and we need you here at UF !!!
You have to wait for the horse images for the morning ...

Ohhh I love this image... ' Always leave notes'. . . it's green , and nature, and perfect and YOU !!!!

Goodnight my friend,
Michele~

This is a really poetic composition Mary and I'm really happy to see you again and to know that you feel better even if it's no totally finished. You made the good choice to recover health with photo.. and this really poetic one is one of the proof.
I like the green tones, this perspective in greenery and this guitar in the forground. The presence of the barrier on the left acts as keeping the note of music. This is a really nice idea.
Congrats

Alessandro Capelli {K:34632} 10/19/2006

A Epiphone Les Paul with 3 pickup!! Great guitar! Very nice composition Mary, I love the green of this path!
Happy to 'see' you back from your operation..I hope you be better soon!
All the best to you my dear friend!

Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55797} 10/19/2006

Dear Mary!
It´s good to see you back on UF:-) I knew you´d be all right. I´ve been thinking a lot about you wondering when you´d be back. Are you going to have surgery again?
A lovely photo of this wonderful alley that I rememeber from earlier shots with your parents and the white horse:-) Now full of music. I like this alley that contains all the strong feelings of love, compassion, joy and hope. I wish all of us had such an alley, either physical or mental.
Take care and recover well!
Warm wishes,
Annemette

Thanks Trish- glad you like!

Nick Karagiaouroglou

{K:126737} 12/6/2006

I would prefer it without those bright green leaves at the top, since they draw too much attention from the scene that relies on the leading lines of the path that starts at the guitar takes one into the depth. They also break the otherwise very nice "silent" and contemplative coloring. Both perpective and coloring add much to the suggestive thought of the special place where the musician is, when leaving this world and "listening" to the sounds that he/she is going to play.

BTW, is that an Epiphone model of a Gibson Les Paul? That humbucker in the middle - did you paste that there, or is it really on the guitar?

Best wishes,

Nick

Mary Slade {K:40918} 12/6/2006

Thanks for your comments Nick. Yes, it is the guitar you mention and the humbucker really is there.

Nick Karagiaouroglou

{K:126737} 12/6/2006

Great! I have to wonder how it might sound!

Best wishes,

Nick
