The last day in 2008, the last time my hands touched the snow, but still carrying flashes of bright memories, beautiful moments of warmth and cold, peak and dip, sharp and blur,reality and magic... an unforgettable experience still vivid on my mind but vanished into the blue blue sky…and in a way this is my way to say goodbye to winter and welcome the spring cuz for me it’s just started today on this day…exactly… hope you don’t mind it:)


Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Dusty Springfield › The Windmills Of Your Mind


Technically speaking: done it on Photoshop, colors, light, etc….

Hello my friendsss, hope you are all fine and I wish you always remember the moments that make you smile and laugh coz I think each moment is precious in its own way no matter what! It’s part of life, a part of being here! And that’s absolutely beautiful…

Regards and happy bright day:)

don't forget to C/C the snowball :) thx anyway...

Good morning

and what a great way to start the day by looking at such wonderful image. WOW...I need a few seconds to find the right words to express my opinion on this artwork. *searching for the right words* ;) I LOVE THIS IMAGE!

First thing that came to my mind when seeing your image was...*witch and her magic ball*. I really like this 'experiment' of yours. Great shot! Superb colours, excellent composition! Very harmonic integration of the nature and 'magic'.

Have a nice day,

Stasa

HI Suzy
Very creative and original.
YOu obvioulsy had ball( forgive the punt) with the graphics program. Don't you sometimes wish we could animate some of these shots.
May I borrow your crystal ball, so it can tell us when to expect good weather, even though spring has arrived it seems to have forgotten us.
Well done
Dot

dear Suzy,
a fantastic and very beautiful white&blue world...
a little cold but refreshing snowy view for my eyes and imagination.
a winter mind and feeling is in the ice ball of Snow-Queen,
she is always watching her white&blue land even in the summer.
you may be her princess...
thank you,
Akihisa

Hello dear Suzy. (forgot to how say that in Arabic)
Beautiful work on this again.!
You sure knows how to present us your pictures. Lovely.!
Snow at Lebanon.! Well I know there is in winter, higher up in the mountains, Ali Jaffa was a big fan of it too.
I shall read your verse ones more. It sounds lovely.
Shukran Suzz, Let it be a sunny day for you.
Ciao ciao from Jan

hi suzy

Yes, I remember the snowball fights we used to have in cold winter of Canada especially during the 1st few years of winter. Although it is hard for me to imagine snowing scene in Lebanon because I always visualise desert and hot land formation there, but this snowball effect of pp work showing the winter landscape is very creative artwork to twist your brain out for the day and get you satisfaction to the result.

Good work.

tfs, bill
