Books and Blossom by maggiemae

Books and Blossom

A wind storm here today and thought I’d photograph wind but initially put it on a movement setting - no good of course. Tried for a lower speed but it let too much light in. I need a UV filter to concoct somehow.
Anyway I used one of the first photos on the blossom which actually was imitating being at a wedding. The air was full of blossom!

Three good things:
1.There are one or two tulips out of about 40 that still isn’t naked.
2. My book is published and live. If you want to see it on either Amazon or bookstore.balboapress.com search for either, “A Mother’s Memoirs” or author: Margaret Jessie Munro Hip hip hooray!
3. John stares at me in awe - a published author! Ha!
Love this! Sort of an old worldy feel. Fav!

Firstly - love seeing your blossom when we are going into autumn and secondly - woohoo - well done you!

This is unique -- you've created a mysterious look to the flowering bushes/trees and what might lie behind them.

Congratulations on being a published author. So exciting.

This cherry blossom is so pretty. We used to have one as children and always used to think it was confetti when the wind blew. Super capture.

@salza I haven't told them yet, Sally - its a tricky subject and I'm not going to kowtow even though I did change the title! They can ask me about it and they haven't yet! I am awful!

Lovely soft shot Maggie.. have just read your book review.. and it looks very interesting, will hunt it out ( I don't have a kindle) sounds like she led an interesting life..
October 4th, 2015  
@julzmaioro She did live a interesting life before her marriage and before we came along. Something I never found out about till recently!

Lovely image and congratulations on being published
October 5th, 2015

@fntngrma I feel frightfully accomplished, Rosan! I'll come back down to earth soon!
October 5th, 2015  
i like the light Maggiemae
October 5th, 2015  
@skstein thanks Sandra - I'm going to study these - I'm of the thinking that numeralogy, colours, and naturopathy can offer so much!
October 5th, 2015  
Lucky, the flowers are still hanging on the tree.
October 5th, 2015  
Lovely capture Maggie...Fav
October 5th, 2015  
This is just amazing. Fav. Congratulations on being a published author. That is a great achievement you should be proud of.
October 5th, 2015  
Congrats on being a published author! That is very impressive.
October 5th, 2015  
A very pretty capture of the blossom.
October 5th, 2015  
Very beautiful light, comp and pov, fav. Your sentence "The air was full of blossom" is almost as beautiful as the picture, and reminds me that it will be many months before the air is full of blossom here--still, air full of falling, colourful leaves is also lovely. Congratulations of the appearance of your book, you must be very proud!

Great capture! Congrats on being published. I hope your book will be read by many people.
October 5th, 2015  
Read the first chapter last night. Quite a woman, your mum! And I was impressed with the dedication to your sisters after what they put you through!
October 5th, 2015  
@kiwisnapper Thanks Ashley - will be interested in what you think! They don't know this yet but hopefully will feel different when they do!
October 5th, 2015  
Beautiful shot. Your book sounds interesting, its on the list.
October 5th, 2015  
@maggiemae the numerology ones are only there because I wasn't able to get rid of them. Once something gets listed on your Amazon Author's page, there's no way to have it removed--even if you've requested that they be taken out of print. If you read my biography, you'll see that I wrote my memoir, Sincerely Wrong, to warn people not to go that route.
October 6th, 2015  
Pretty! Reading all your info backwards- will check it out on Amazon soon!
October 6th, 2015  
Beautiful.
