Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.
Barbara De Angelis
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi
"A woman is like a teabag-only in hot water do you realize how strong she is." Eleanor Roosevelt
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Learn as if you were to live forever."
Mahatma Ghandi
"...We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. ... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Nelson Mandela
“Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.” - Maya Angelou
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
Rumi
"A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place, but a seed to be planted and to bear more seeds toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Love all the golden beauty dear storyteller!!!
Beautiful--with the special additions, they look like paintings!
Hmn, I like the last one - it's rather wispy!
:-)
Back again hunting for BYB post but none to be found. . .
I like the third one best. It's a very pretty setting no matter which!
Wow, really neat looking!
those are great shots...it's it amazing what one can do with computer digital touch ups....I haven't used mine anywhere what I should...but then I am not a photographer....thanks so much for visiting my blog and for leaving such a nice comment
Good evening, I love the way you can change the effects with your pictures..does your camera settings do this or is it a program you have in your computer???? Thanks for your visit to my place today...
I really like the colors. I can't make up my mind which I like best. They're all beautiful. BJ
Paint daubs is my favorite this time, with orange neon a close second. :)
Very Cool Photos. Thank you for stopping by my blog and I Hope you keep stopping by!
Hootin’ Anni – Our sunsets vary so much here in So Cal (as I suspect they do everywhere) … and the colors in THIS one never cease to amaze me. Removing the wires (of which there are MANY since I live in an OLD community) and ‘experimenting’ with various filters was fun too.
Karen – I think so too. It’s fascinating to discover what possibilities exist within PSE and it’s time-consuming too, but I am enjoying the process. I’m glad you enjoyed these results too.
Mommy Wizdom – That filter certainly DOES alter the ‘normal’ view … making the ‘shadowy shapes’ stand out.
PERBS – I apologize for not having my BYBS post published when you dropped by on Sunday, but it IS up now … should you care to return: BYBS#18. I hope to visit yours when time permits after I finish responding to comments.
Tammy – I thought these were pretty ‘kewl’ too. Glad you enjoyed them.
Smalltown RN – I’m not really a photographer either … pretty much a ‘point-and-shoot’ gal, but I have been learning about Photoshop Elements and it’s been fun to experiment like this. I’m delighted to have found your blog through this Sunrise-Sunset meme.
Baba – I suspect my camera might be able to do some of these things (if I had a clue how to use the various menus that seem like Greek to me). These effects (and the others I’ve shared recently in Photoshop Elements related posts) were created after the fact as I played with PSE6’s filters.
B. Roan – I feel much the same way … I like them all for different reasons.
Joyce – Thanks for the feedback. It's nice to know which ones appeal to others ;--)
Woody – I’m glad you enjoyed them. It’s fun to see what everyone shares out there with these weekly mems.
To all – I’m delighted to discover each of your comments and am glad you enjoyed my ‘sunset experimentations’ … Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day.
Hugs and blessings,
Wow! These are beautiful, Storyteller! Great work! hugs, Tina
Interesting contrasts......I'd say I like the 3rd one best.....It helps make the foreground a little less busy.
The filmgrain is sure fun! Also, the . . .can't remember which one it was called but it made the electrical line disappear.
Tina Coruth – Thanks … I’m having fun with my experimentations and it’s neat to see how others respond to them.
Wayfaring Wanderer – I appreciate the specificity of your observations and see what you mean. Thanks so much ;--)
Lisa’s Chaos – Actually it wasn’t a filter that made the electrical lines (there were MANY actually) disappear … that was ME … tediously using several ‘tools’ to painstakingly take them out without altering the rest of the photo. I wish there was a simpler way, but if there is … I’ve not learned that yet.
To all – I love finding comments and appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts when you dropped by. Thanks so much. I hope you’re each having a wonderful week.
Hugs and blessings,
