At cross-roads right this moment, I needed a sign to let this 'Vecchiannima' of mine to give me hope and peace for such a desire to snap pictures. All my life I have dreamed of black and white, even colors at times. Thank you Maria Soto. Yes, I think I will do this. God Bless You.

Mary: Your photo's are a joy to experience. Haven't been to Doiron Gallery yet. But after seeing your passion on display on the net, I would be cheating myself of certain pleasure. I'm not going to cheat myself. Hmmm! The photo's of Oregon, Ocean, Barn, SF and others are a comfort on this hot summer day.

I got here because you mentioned "The Secret Garden" in your pictures. That 1949 movie was my favorite also and our 4th grade teacher read it each year to her students. I've been looking for the Secret Garden ever since. You're picture looks just like the gate should look (once they removed some of the vines. Thanks.
