My sub is about to expire and funds are hazardous so this may be the last chance I have to feature some of the wonderful works of art I have had the joy of finding and would like to share with you! ENJOY-FAV-SHARE
First, my heartfelt thanks for all the attention you have given to my photography and scattered writtings. My computer and DA together are a nightmare and I've long since given up individual thanks. I do love every and comment. I appreciate every new Thank you all so much.
(short dump) I've had some hard times the last few years and it's come together in a nasty divorce. I've had some ongoing medical issues and I may lose my health care the first of the year. I may lose my house. My financial outlook is somewhat grim. And the economy isn't very comforting to say the least (ok, dump over)
I know this is a community that cares and that presence is what I feel here. You are all very appreciated. I'm hoping to renew my sub next month, but if I don't you will all understand why. If you know of a contest and can think of one of my deviations that would stand a chance at a subscription, do let me know!
Meanwhile, here are some features from some of my watchers. Please give them the attention they deserve, we all work hard here for whatever praise comes our way
Believe it or not, I do get around to viewing all your galleries! It's the best part of the trip
This Feature is one I want to share because I really appreciate how the very tiniest capture of people in an image create so much depth and perspective in a photograph. I find it incredible how the eye immediately finds the individual and the difference it makes to a landscape. Give these very talented photographers a hand!!!
I was so pleasantly surprised with a new dedication and display of support yesterday! David is a wonderfully sensitive and caring member here on DA - a real treasure! I am lucky indeed to have his friendship, as are many others here Pure Beauty by =MagePrydain Dedicated to my dear friend Debs aka *wonenownlee Also from his gallery:
Again, I am reminded of the wonderful friends who, despite what may be their own rough roads, take the time to reach out and think of others in distress. This is to all of those who responded with such love, warmth and heartfelt wishes, messages of hope and offers to "listen" if I need it. This feature is for you my thanks is without boundaries
These many kind gestures of support have done me wonders in the last few days and earned you all a special place in my heart THANK YOU
The choices I made for this feature have to do with artwork that reminds of me where I am - sends messages of love, forgiveness, the future, hope - and / or those which inspired the same
Please give these wonderful PEOPLE who happen to also be talented artists the time to view their work and visit their galleries - you will be happy that you did!
This unusually touching bit of prose resonates strongly with my current frame of mind. Please read & give it the attention it deserves. Nicely expressed April!
FULL VIEW PLEASE
And to all my watchers who I love, thanks for your support as well
Thanks to all of you for your support & friendship. I have been going through some hard times this year (divorce/kids/etc.) Many of my DA friends have really helped and held my head above water more once. Every thoughtful comment has filled my heart when it was empty!
A special few have dedicated a piece of their artwork to me and for this I am especially grateful. It is such an honor to be allowed so close to someones heart.
These three dedications deserve special mention and a permanent place here in my journal. Thanks you Eli(Krys), David and Wolfgang
A very cherished gift from my dear friend Krystel ~~Sending my love to you She brought me hope and light when I needed it. *elithranielle a whisper in the wind
This is a Birthday wish from one of my dearest supporters! I can always count on Dave to make me feel my artistic efforts are appreciated! ~~Happy Birthday Debs Thank you for making my birthday so special! =MagePrydain tin foil hat wearing dArama man
Today I was surprised with this amazing flower that was sent my way... just because ~~A Flower For Debs To know people have you in their hearts and thoughts is the greatest gift of all! This beautiful capture is from my dear friend Wolfgang, who has always been kind and appreciative of our friendship. ieffi Wolfgang Dieffenbach
