on the edge of the lake

Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.
Wallace Stevens

~another version of my people by the lake - this one has been played with a little~

[Graeme Stevens]

This is...well, it's super. Especially on the black...fabulous even. And I love a good duck shot. You've even got a flying "duck"

[Amanda Powell]

Great shot!!

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I love not giving a "flying duck" LOL and thank you so much - I am tickled pink - hmm not pink - not my colour - tickled yellow

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I would never dream of tickling you pink and I'm now slightly concerned that you have jaundice

[Annie D]

@graemestevens oh no don't worry the slightly orange look is from the spray tan HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Maggiemae]

Love the soft browns you have got here - be lovely to sit at the side of this lake and feed the ducks!

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied No wonder they call you Darl...

[Annie D]

@maggiemae it was a lovely spot indeed

[Annie D]

@graemestevens LOL I have no idea why they think it is healthier to cover yourself in chemicals than spend a bit of time in the sun and boost your vitamin D levels

[Leanne M Williams]

Lovely tones and awesome shot of the bird in flight :-)

[Annie D]

@leanne333 thanks Leanne - was hoping to catch some in flight but didn't realise until I uploaded

[Taffy]

Aw...a lovely shot with a good capture of the flying bird and super framing with the tree.

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I know, I love the sun but always stay white

[Annie D]

@taffy thank you Taffy - that day I was trying my hand at composing the images in camera rather than editing after

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I am from the sun worshipping baby oil let's bake era and I do love the sun

[summerfield]

this is grand especially viewed large in black. i, too, like the duck (with a d) in flight! :-D

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Same era here, but I go bright red, peel and then it's back to vivid white. All in the space of an hour.

[Hope D Jennings]

Beautiful!!!

[Annie D]

@summerfield hahahahahahaha

[Annie D]

@graemestevens fortunately I tan - my eldest is same as you but retains a bit of colour - youngest turns brown before your eyes LOL

[Annie D]

@mzzhope thanks Hope - it was a lovely spot

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I'd rather be "pale and interesting"

[Annie D]

@graemestevens yes - I can see that working for you hahahahaha

[KWind]

Beautiful! Fav.

[Annie D]

@kwind thank you so much Kim

[Terry Molvik]

Lovely shot. Fav.

[Annie D]

@greybeard48 thank you so much Terry

[Debs Stott]

Ooh I think I like this one more than the original - the sepia toning gives it a real atmosphere and I like the one bird flying.

[Annie D]

@dibzgreasley thanks Debs - yes I like the softness and the sepia tones too

[Suse♡]

This is charming! Love how that tree frames the sceen providing it natural frames and the processing is lovely

[Annie D]

@susale thanks Suse - it was a pretty spot

[Graham Thresher]

Love your processing. Fav

[Annie D]

@thresheg thank you Graham I am pleased with the way it has turned out - it sort of suits the way it was

[Eve Pulsater]

It looks gorgeous and very serene.

[Newbank Lass]

[Ivan]

Has a strong nostalgic feel, yesteryear!
