Simple Gifts


Lately, I've received some simple, special gifts.
Glads from a family friend. 


Plus, colorful postcards in the mail.
The later treat was due to Kat Sloma's Liberate your Art Postcard Swap.
How wonderful to find beauty in my mailbox instead of the usual junk mail and bills!


A big thank you to ~
Leigh, Jenny, Sassy, Tonia, Melissa,
and 
 the mastermind and hard worker behind this project.

Hope your week is filled with creativity and simple gifts!

  5. Anna, I saw a photo of your postcard on a blog from someone who received one of yours. Beautiful shot of a beautiful piece. I, also, was in the swap; wish I had gotten one of yours, too.

  7. These flower shots are just beautiful, Anna. The tall elegance of the Gladioli is dramatized in the black and white capture. Each frill and turn of the petals take on a new depth! Greetings from Canada! Sandra

  14. Amazing photos! The B&W works wonderfully on the forms, lines and shadows of the petals... Like flowing swinging feminine dresses :)
