A friend of mine in Tenn. sent me this bench that's in an area of a wild life park - I told her about Annette and she wanted me to post it for her. So Annette, another tribute to you. Gone, yes, but your spirit is still with us.

Prestonphoto....Interesting what you say about displaying my photo's, I have been offered a room by a friend who owns a art-gallery in Ubud, Bali so I have taken up the offer, will be interesting to see what happens......Kevin
Congratulations on getting the room offer. I'm sure your friend in Ubud saw the same things in your work - a LOT of class and style. I'm sure your work will be a good success and you'll have a lot of admirers. Best of luck.

Annette - I am so sorry to have never met you in person but your spirit touched me. I learned a few things new thru you in the few days that I got to know you. Benches - definitely more than something to just set on and the real definition of "swimming" - a voyage thru life. I didn't know you yet I Set here with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. I know you are in a better place free of all misery and probably smiling down on all us UHHers. God bless you.

The first picture posted is a work of art in every sense of the word. A LOT of class and style was incorporated in that photo. Do you have ab art gallery there that you can post this in? I'm sure there would be a lot of admirers of your work in this one. You have wonderful visions of what photography is all about.

Thank you Gracie for keeping us in touch. I'll never look at a bench the same way again - and won't be taking a bench for granted either. This thread has touched me in ways that haven't been touched in eons. Thank you Annette for being you - may God be with you.
For Annette

This is Annette's sister's update that I just received.
"She had a good night, they pushed her bed outside again yesterday and she enjoyed the sunshine for two hours. She is extremely weak so not taking anymore phone calls."

Thank you for the update. As I said at the beginning of this thread, I didn't know Annette but after reading the poem about the bench I felt drawn to her. I'm not usually an emotional person but I have somehow made it a point to stay with this thread, reading the comments, looking at the photos posted and hoping for her. I guess I'm "swimming" with the flow. This is the first time in my life that I've felt this close to someone - and don't even know the person.
Another flower for Annette

Annette - I had never heard of you until today. I'm not usually an emotional person but the poem about the bench touched me very deeply and yes, even put a tear in my eyes. I even went to your care site and posted a message. And I have to say I will never look at a bench in the same way again. I wish with all my heart the very best for you and remember, accept today as today but there's always a tomorrow. Always.....

Both are very nice. Water looks like a mirror. What settings did you use? As I said, both are very nice photos.

I have both the Canon 75-300 and a Sigma 70-300 macro lenses. I love the 70-300 - it has a switch on it that puts it at 70-200 for doing macro shots, switch it and you have a regular 70-300. Focus is very clear and accurate.

I had Elements 7 and now have Elements 9. Best way I found to use it is google a problem - say like I want to add shadows. (how to add shadows with PSE9) Google alot of times will give you alot of youtube tutorials to help plus the youtube menu on the left will give you other stuff you can do. Ziza gave you some great options too.

This made me remember the days of helping my grandfather on his farm plowing some fields with a John Deere. Those were the days.

Welcome - used to go camping near Raquette Lake and wander all over the Adirondacks til I had an accident in 1988. Looked at your website - very nice.
