About Hollie and april in a ballerina dress with a new friend sat under a tree ..it was late evening quite warm and they were getting tired...once upon a time i played and sat here and the tree was newly planted ..i was born and grew up in this road ..i moved across from my mother and had my children ..my daughter had hollie and april and moved across from me ..so it is 3 generations have sat and played here and 4generations lived here..new camera so not wonderfully sharp as i am getting used to it, but i like the softness anyway.

jacques brisebois   {K:56012} 5/21/2007
real magic moment of friendship, great unusual framing. And you're right, the softness add a little something to the picture.


Leonie Fitzpatrick   {K:40299} 5/21/2007
:))) Truly wonderful about nessa... All the memories of laughter, tears, secrets, and the imagination of generations whispering in the branches of such a very special tree...

A lovely *natural* visual nessa... The girls actually look like they are being helped by the tree, ~~GRIN~~ the slope makes them appear to be sliding... :)))

Excellent, a sweet moment in time...:)))

Onie...

A very lovely moment dear Vanessa, beautiful colors and a nice shining roundly to the children, especialy on the white dress, beautiful image!

Nessa:)
Wonderfully and classical, in the most beautiful climate of the land of the childhood... Such painting inflicts, that we come back to the land of the warmest remembrances.
Warm hugs:)

I think this is just superb Nessa :) The softness gives it that reminiscent feel and a touch of dreaminess...superb capture, and a great story to go with it...I always love returning to where I grew up, although it is a lot further away than across the road :) :)
Cheers

Beautiful soft capture Nessa,excellent warm touch as with your images.Lovely colors and pose.
You don`t have to say which one is Hollie,that hair is known by all of us!!!
April looks gorgeous!!!
7+++++

Robbie


Boguslaw Toton   {K:269} 5/23/2007
after clicking the miniature the photo was slowly loading from top. When I saw hair near the tree I knew it was Hollie :) Photography has so many elements. Sometimes a history is an integrated part of a photo. You know that I like Hollie's hair :), I am waiting for the next illustrated story

Very sweet image dear Vanessa. Lovely expression on the faces. Again a very nice composition and a great story out of your life.
I wish you all the best and a nice weekend.
Sascha


Gary Hill   {K:31749} 5/27/2007
All your images exude softness, Nessa. I like the composition here, the tree looks like it's stopping them from rolling down the slope! I can't imagine being so familiar with such a small neigbourhood, my parents moved away early from their roots and later, so did I.
Regards, Gary


Maryam Sahafzadeh   {K:2631} 5/28/2007

Gabriela Tanaka   {K:17991} 6/21/2007
Your "about" is fascinating and endearing, it makes me look with different eyes to the shot itself! Little girls in a world of their own...makes me think I was a little girl, too...once upon a time!
Gabriela

Chad Parish   {K:6155} 8/15/2007
Great shot, I like the way you placed the kids to the left, that and the hill's natural incline makes an interesting point for the eye to follow.
