Description
On our first real day with my dear and beloved friend Eva and her husband Simon, in Macedonia. She and I, took our cameras to capture the natural beauty before us. Oh what fun, and unforgettable time we had. Seeing all the beautiful moments of creation captured, bringing sheer joy and splendor.
Enroute to her cherry tree orchid, what beautiful colorful, and diverse flora we encountered. Stopping along the way to admire and capture all their unique beauty and wonders.
As the dried yellow petals and stamens drop off, the parachute ball opens into a beautiful, soft sphere of mature seeds, that are attached to white, fluffy "parachutes!" The sun was just glistening in these delightful dandelion seeds. Playing with the color temperature a bit, it lit these up, with such brilliance of blues and pinks. Reminding me of a beautiful firework display. My abstract nature art.
Here is to celebrating, my explosive time with my beloved Eva Maria Nova, with "Macedonia Firework Display!" đź’• dedicated đź’•

Janet Marie replied:
Thank you my dear friend! I am sorry to not have been able to answer sooner. My life is not my own anymore. I am deLIGHTed that you have enjoyed this one. Special for me, as it was a trip of a lifetime. I couldn't resist playing with the color tone (putting it a bit on the cool side, and this is what happened). I truly appreciate your love expressed about this piece. That means a lot! Hugs girlfriend!!!
Sharon W
This is such an eye catching beauty! Love your brilliant editing to a gorgeous threesome! Hope you made a wish!!
Janet Marie replied:
Why thank you Sharon for your lovely words expressed about this piece. A special day with my beloved friend Eva Maria Nova. Just a little playing with the color temperature on the cool side, and you have your own blissfully blue fireworks display. I didn't make a wish, but I do wish I knew what happened to my friend. It's as though she has vanished. This special time can never be taken away.
Loredana Gallo Migliorini
Great creativity on your part, turning this into a beautiful electric blue! I was very intrigued and find this photo stunning. loredana
Janet Marie replied:
Loredana! Thank you for stopping by my gallery and sharing your lovely thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it! I just adjusted the warm and cool with this image, as I don't have Photoshop or programs like that. This was just using the basics that were in Windows 7, but now I have Windows 10 with their basic editing, generally just tweaking the lighting and clarity if need be.

Gorgeous!! Wonderful storyđź’Ą, compliments,fav, VIVA regards
Janet Marie replied:
Fellow FAA artist and friend, Eva Maria Nova, graced us with her presence by getting to visit her at her home, while traveling to Macedonia and Greece. It was a special day indeed, as she is the one who encouraged me to pursue my love for photography by joining FAA. So we were able to do a photography session together, near her home and vineyard. I am especially delighted that you took the time to read my story and that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much Viva for your continued love and support of me and my work. I am glad that you like this and have chosen it as one of your favorites too. I really appreciate it. Sending hugs from Arizona to Australia đź’•

Beautifully captured and uniquely "lit up".. l/f (I loved your thoughtful description too; sounds like you have a blast!)
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you so much Kathy, for visiting my gallery and sharing your lovely thoughts about my artwork. I really appreciate that. The sun gave the sparkle to the dandelion seeds, and playing with the color temperature, towards the blue side, it added to that sparkle. It was a special day for sure with my dear fellow FAA artist, my inspiration for pursuing my artwork, a dream come true to be in here neck of the woods. A deep love and bond has formed between us. I appreciate you taking the time to notice the story and all the nuances of my artwork. Janet đź’•
