k@ from Paris, France
Il était une fois trois poteaux dont l'un seulement était peint de belles couleurs, et l'homme au-dessous faisant semblant de ne pas voir la p'tite Lorraine qui le shootait de loin, tsouin-tsouin !

An ideal frame... exactly between these trees this nice looking lighthouse. A beautiful place, wonderfully captured, Lorraine! :)

MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
What IS that guy doing out there? contemplating "end it all?" There is a story there, and you have asked the question. Fine image, Lorraine.

@MontereyJohn: Does one ever know what another truly thinks of...I have a few ideas myself lol thanks John :)
Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand
Oh I see your doing your peeking at others again Lorryloo! Only joking! I just remembered I think I said that to you many moons ago when I first met you here.
Anyhoo, wonderful shot chuck:-) What is he doing I wonder????
20 Mar 2009 11:14am
@Linerberry: My reason for livin' sweet Berry lol thanks always...
Cheryl from Texas, United States
I love the somewhat secretative shot! nice natural framing. The man at the jetty is admiring the beauty of the meltdown!
20 Mar 2009 11:34am
@Cheryl: Nice thinking Cheryl, I like it ;) thanks a lot!
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
It's hard to believe that you still have so much ice and snow on this, the first day of spring.
It's a 'cool' 60 here at 8:10 am (sorry about that), with predictions of 80 later on.
*OUCH* that snowball hurt! :D
20 Mar 2009 12:13pm
@Judy: You are killing me girl lol we're getting snow tomorrow, you so deserve that snowball (but it's a softie,no ice or anything) ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
He's aching for warmer weather. Sneaking through the trees again, possible infraction will review the file. :D
20 Mar 2009 12:46pm
@JoeB: Please do, I'll take an infraction over the snow we're getting tomorrow ;)
Kathycalculates from Indianapolis, United States
You do have a way of "asking the question" with your shots, don't you? Maybe that's why I love your people shots so much! I adore a good mystery and you are constantly giving me reason to ask, "Now what IS he doing???". This guy? He's like my husband...just loving being outdoors and admiring Nature! Now, what I have fun imagining with this shot is being on the other side watching you peek through the trees with your hair covering half a big grin as you happily snap away! lol
20 Mar 2009 1:17pm
@Kathycalculates: Awww you recognize me, can't pull the wool over your eyes, not when it's so warm where you live and we're getting Sunday, so wrong, so so wrong lol
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Hmmm... another "sneaky" shot! :) Nicely framed taking adavantage of these trees. The man is AGAIN a little bit suspicious... probably waiting for Spring to arrive.... Well done Lorraine!
Concerning your yesterday's question, I'm posting again (or at least trying)... not as I would like to, but trying to post 2 or 3 photos per week. The more difficult is to reply or comment...
20 Mar 2009 2:21pm
@Rui: I sneak a lot Rui, I prefer not to talk to people, it spoils the mood...and Iknow exactly what you mean, so no worries, visit when you can ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, FL, United States
Hey, you've taken a cool photo here Lorraine. I like the "between the trees framing" of the beacon. Best of both worlds.
20 Mar 2009 3:03pm
@Viewfinder: So nicely put, thanks a lot Vf :)
Observing from North West, United Kingdom
Ahh... another one of your slightly mysterious ' watching ' shots. Nice composition Lorraine :)
20 Mar 2009 3:05pm
@Observing: Thanks Mikey, they will always be my favourites...those that don't talk back lol ;)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
They make a terrific frame. You are turning into quite the little spy.
20 Mar 2009 3:32pm
@Michael Rawluk: Yep i spy, I sneak, they don't talk back that way lol, thanks Michael ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
LOL,its like you are everywhere babe:) i hope that man is ok,he looks like he is in deep thought staring at the sea:)
20 Mar 2009 3:39pm
@tyan: Deep thoughts are always good, it's those you can't face that are oh so wrong lol thanks sweety :)
dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
Won't be too long before we see this hot again with a lifeguard on top! Shooting with the trees as a frame works really well.
20 Mar 2009 4:19pm
@dobbino: Thanks a lot Rob and I can't wait lol ;)
kerfendal from Paris, France
avec peu de chose une photo tres extraordinaire, bravo !!
20 Mar 2009 6:34pm
@kerfendal: C'est gentil, merci beaucoup Max :)
@António Pires: Giving your mind a break Antonio :) thanks a lot!
Barbara from Florida, United States
Great view through the natural framing. The scene with the beacon is gorgeous. I would enjoy being out there taking in the view too.
Nice one!
20 Mar 2009 7:48pm
@Barbara: Hey Barb thanks for the beautiful comment, I'll enjoy more when it stops snowing, sigh ;)
@rose: Merci beaucoup Rose :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
An original image, love the sneaky view through the trees to the feller out there. We are getting +16C here now, so -10 sounds appalling.
20 Mar 2009 9:01pm
@Richard_Irwin: snow tomorrow. Nothing to add...but thanks for the news of +16, it cheers me up to no end LOL
Anna.C from LA ROCHELLE, France
très original ce cadrage ! c'est le même guy qu'hier ? il se repose après avoir transporté ses bûches :o)
20 Mar 2009 9:35pm
@Anna.C: Je ne crois pas Anna, sinon il faudrait qu'il soit à 2 places à la fois, là ça serait un énigme...;) lol merci beaucoup!
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
Nice framing. It looks really cold out there.
20 Mar 2009 10:18pm
@Suzanne: It is when you think it should be spring, if you think of it as winter, then it's mild, takes a lot to be cheerful this week lol thanks Suzanne!
@Robert Kruh: Thanks very much Robert, I appreciate the visit :)
Christian from Mantes La Jolie, France
Excellente idée de composition! Par contre, j'aurais juste gommé le petit morceau de banc à droite qui attire l'oeil en dehors du cadre donné par les deux troncs d'arbre.. Qu'en penses tu?
20 Mar 2009 10:44pm
@Christian: En principe, une très bonne idée, mais la réalité est autre, ça l'enlève de la panache ;) lol merci beaucoup Christian
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)
arlene from United States
I have a real feeling of being trapped by these trees. I want to break out and walk on the wet sand to the pier leading to what looks like a lighthouse. Let me ouuuuuuuut of here (please). Amazing what your photos can elicit emotionally from me.
20 Mar 2009 11:17pm
@arlene: Yeah, I like that about you Arlene ;) lol thanks for the wonderful comment!
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty, I appreciate it :)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Well caught Lorraine! Even though cold it has its own beauty for sure. Neat photo.
20 Mar 2009 11:38pm
@Janice Thomson: Thanks a lot Sweet m'lady ;)
@Mellofello: Thanks a lot Mello ;)
@Khorshid.~: Hey Khorshid, it's been a while, thank you :)

Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa
Such a cool shot L - Glad to see your snow is melting and you can start enjoying warmer weather now! :) Hopefully you'll get your connection sorted out! :) There's nothng more frustrating than trying to log on and constantly getting kicked off! :)
23 Mar 2009 7:04am
@Mandy Provan: Hey Sweety, we're still getting cold fronts, should go away soon, I hope lol ;)
