  2. Merisi, your photos never cease to amaze me. You have a wonderful way of "seeing" pictures in your mind before you take them with your camera ... and that is a God-given talent.

    Excellent work, my friend!

  4. Hello Merisi,

    Those skies and the stormy lighting give such drama, and a certain elegance, to these photographs.

    It is hard to pick a favorite from amongst this post. Every picture is a gem. Your words shine as always.

  6. Hi Merisi -
    That photo of the Reflecting Pool has to be one of my all time favorites. The reflexion forms almost a shell shape which gives it a rococo feel. Gorgeous. Have a wonderful weekend! Hope you have sun.
