It's his "nice" way of saying "gosh, you're an old, eccentric character!" <br /><br />I had no idea you grew up in Maine! It's my favorite place. I feel so at peace with myself and the world, when I'm here. And I love the rust and the rustic, as you do.<br /><br />Saw a great, black wild turkey today--he ran across the road in front of our car. Then a mile later, a deer sprinted in front of us. These are my favorite days, when I see a lot of wildlife.<br /><br />The green powder of pollen on the lake in the morning was magical, gleaming like pixie dust....<br /><br />Geez, Robin, now I know where your affinity for nature was born and nurtured, and why I feel such a kinship with you! <br /><br />Perhaps one year we will meet and share our spheres...<br /><br />xxxLynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-22180670940898613322009-06-16T17:33:41.124-07:002009-06-16T17:33:41.124-07:00CONDA - It WAS great fun to meet him at his front ...CONDA - It WAS great fun to meet him at his front door, that horned but affable bovine!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-57453652339825949492009-06-16T15:49:50.146-07:002009-06-16T15:49:50.146-07:00I love this!!

I could smell it, feel it, hear it. Oh to have a good camera and drive around Maine would be a THRILL!!! So many dilapidated buildings and weird funny hand-painted signs (mostly misspelled), all kinds of rusted junk. It's a treasure trove of wealth for the camera. <br /><br />I also had to laugh that you are innocently moving toward the barn and there is a bull. You really are so funny at times, even when you don't know you are funny. That's what makes you so endearing. <br /><br />Hugs and love to you dear Lynda. <br />RobinRobin Easonhttp://www.nakedineden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-48391880708792091622009-06-16T12:02:52.049-07:002009-06-16T12:02:52.049-07:00Charming and delightful, Lynda.

So you are at least partially a "country girl!"<br /><br />I am too, grew up in rural Pennsylvania with farmlands and furred hills around my house. We had a giant cornfield just behind our house, at one point, where I used to lose my kite among the tall fronds.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. I'll let you know if I run into any more bulls. I agree, this one looked friendly, if not complacent. Not that he couldn't react to something and get aroused.

I feel a combination of comfort, longing, and nostalgia. And wonder, too, of course. <br /><br />I bet Wisconsin is beautiful.

I think Anna blogged about this awhile back. I DO want to switch to the stretch layout and then be able to post larger images, and will try it as soon as i have a quiet moment, away from saws and hammers.<br /><br />As for the HDR, I read an article about it and it sounds tantalizing, albeit time-consuming. I will try it one day, along with photo-micrography and all the digital art I can't get enough of, but haven't learned enough about.<br /><br />I love ALL your posts and photos, and the way you seem to experience and appreciate the visual world. :)<br /><br />Thanks again, Dan!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-36829559187569955932009-06-16T09:15:33.086-07:002009-06-16T09:15:33.086-07:00ANNA - I'm glad you're having better resul...ANNA - I'm glad you're having better results with the other browsers. I have had trouble with IE here and there, but Firefox has remained pretty stable for me.<br /><br />I know what you mean about your little town. All over the world, old villages and towns are being gobbled up by urban sprawl, and we lose so much charm, color and history by the march of "progress." That's why I love Maine: it's a feast of color, texture, stunning natural settings, and antiquity.<br /><br />Kisses to Matthew!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-82340451623464962192009-06-16T09:12:05.196-07:002009-06-16T09:12:05.196-07:00KIM - I'm dragging my husband away from here a...KIM - I'm dragging my husband away from here again today, as the weather is gorgeous and we are both googly-eyed from his wiring and my painting, for days on end.<br /><br />Can't wait until this job is done, when our life will be at least a bit more relaxed. :)<br /><br />Kim, I saw on tv something about the killer jellyfish in AU.
