OMG!
I have to turn my calendar page!
I really hate that. Not because time is flying, but because your art is.
Ahh, but Duke soothes me. I see that time can pass gracefully, artfully and fulfillingly.
Happy June, dear Marina!

‘Sacred Seclusion’… there’s always s need for that! I think you’ll see more sun now and later on, tonight a Strawberry Moon Eclipse (penumbral).
Here’s to more light, Sue and more love and Gratitude for our friendship

No it’s better when it’s the camera and not extra filters… at least that’s how I see it. When we add special fx it’s more our own idea. When it just happens it’s usually a bigger idea.👣

Haha Gandalf! I can’t decide which photo I like better…with or without the flare. With is kind of magical…but without, though filtered, has a pure majesty. Perhaps you couldn’t decide either and posted both 😉
