Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

Beautiful - the frosting on the branches & the gradations of colors in the sky reminds me of Japanese woodcuts of snow scenes. Congratulations on your milestone, Akemi & yes, you have been an inspiration...

Wow! You are getting up there. Congrats and thank you for your time and effort to show us thru your eyes the beauty that surrounds you. The snow here adds character to the leafless trees. Beautiful indeed. Aloha

Congrats on your 600th post! Yes indeed---you have been a great inspiration to me and I have enjoyed all your photos. This is a beautiful trees covered with snow. Glad you are enjoying this snow event where you are. I can remember snow one winter on Camano Island when I was a child. A very damp and wet snow. Back here the snow is dry and fluffy when it comes. Possibly we may get snow within the next couple days. We shall see. P.S. Sorry for the ebots. I had to correct my spelling. :))

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AKEEEEEEEEEEEMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!! WHOOO HOOOO FOR YOU!!!! What a grand shot to be celebrating this occassion. I absolutely love the peach hue in the horizon, telling it was taken in the morning sometime. I am no fan of snow ever since my accident last winter...but now as im seeing more and more snow-photos in the gallery i actually cant wait till we get some of that white stuff as well. Have a wonderful day and look forward to seeing 600 photos and more from you. #:o)

It is wonderful to see how the snow accentuates the forms of the trees. This is so beautiful and so well composed. I wonder when snow will come to us. Late this year, it seems. You did super here!!!

A huge congrats to you on the big 6-O-O! Your work is an ispiration and a visit to your gallery is always a breath of fresh air and creative recharge! The gradation of colors here is really something and snowy braches make me think of cappillaries. Excellent use of negative space.
