Spectacular, breathtaking, fantastic, sensational, amazing, wonderful, photos! […and I’m sure I could add more!] And a “sparkling Friday” to you too!
Wow, thank you Marina! 🙂
wonderful as always, Karen
Thank you Antoinio.
I wish I could tick “like” a hundred times! I “like” so much! Oh please, they are too beautiful. Your images do something to my heart. It’s jumping for joy now … your sun is coming out 🙂 pretty as anything:)
Ha Ha Gigi! I’m glad they make you happy. 🙂
Nice photographs.
Thanks Allen!
So pretty, Karen! I love the captured delicate-ness and the blurred backgrounds.
Much thanks Scott!
Hail to the Queen of Bokeh !
Ha Ha Helen, I’m sure you can out-bokeh me! 🙂
Agree with Hellenjc, wonderful bokeh, the last photo is my favourite.
Thank you David. Sun on ice is perfect for bokeh, all those reflective sunspots.
This set sparkles.
Ice diamonds! 🙂
Gosh, the seedhead in that first one looks like it belongs on a band on someone’s finger it’s so sparkly!
A chilly diamond ring that would be. 🙂
My favorites are the second photo and the last one. I really like the sparkles from the sun. Beautiful.
Thank you Erica. 🙂
The first does look like a piece of jewelry! Karen, your ice photos are just wonderful . Can’t wait for spring to see what you have in store for us!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kathleen
Aw thank you Kathleen, I think it will be awhile before the spring images happen!
Have a great weekend too.
OOh, I love the bokeh in these photos too! So pretty and yes, sparkly. I don’t know why I try and find meaning in images though it’s an instant reaction; the first image reminds me of a diamond ring (my mum has something that looks like this flower). Love and happy weekend 🙂
Marina, I hadn’t thought of a diamond ring until others mentioned it but I does kind of look that way. It’s always interesting to hear how people interpret images!
Have a great weekend, k
So beautiful! I love the colours in these images. Hope you don’t mind if I make a colour palette from one of them?
Feel free to be inspired by the colour palette! 🙂
thank you.
The sun does the work to show such lovely, soft colors. Beautiful and peaceful 🙂
Beautiful, Karen! Loved the bokeh in the background of the two shots. Loved it, totally. 🙂
Light. I agree with you. Light – follow the light. There will be a picture.
So magical, so beautiful ….
Very, very nice. I really like the soft focus and ice. The combination is beautiful.
thank you! 😀
The bokeh on the second and last image is so delightful. Fantastic shot as always Karen.
Beautiful pictures!
