  3. What lovely magnolia blossom. It looks so striking on the bare branches of the tree without any leaves. And your added effects are lovely too, making for two very different takes on the original image. All the best, Bonny

  14. Hi There, I just had to visit someone who is named IDA. That was my grandmother's name (whom I never knew since she died before I was born). BUT--I have never heard of anyone else with that wonderful name. I love it --and if I had have had a girl (had 3 sons), I wanted to name her Ida....

    Beautiful pictures....

    Hugs,
    Betsy
