719 Comments!! Holy toledo!! That is so fantastic Maria! You know how much I love this image. It is amusing how many people say it twice, some five times and one said it 7 times!! LOL Do they do that purposefully? Scrolling down this page is so much fun, it is filled with wonderful messages from many mutual friends and it is also colourful with all the pretty avatars!! You are a darling Maria and so wonderfully talented. Please accept this long letter of greetings as I do admire you work so much, and most of all I admire your sweet spirit. This is one of your most dynamic and iconic images and I am delighted to see it featured in the creative challenge blog for Water in Motion. Congratulations sweetheart and thank you for your note. I wish you a lovely evening, Aloha! Sharon

Hello Maria. What a coincidence for me that I checked out this album today, after enthusing over your enchanted forest, because this particular photo looked familiar! I downloaded this photo ages ago, because I loved it so much, and now I can put a name to the photo. Your talent is monumental. Beauty and Form come together for you in picture after picture. Thank you again, for sharing your talent, and may it never diminish nor fade! Hugs, Margaret.

Hi Maria; Congratulations on this being one of the most viewed in "beaches" It has long been one of my favorites ever since I first saw it. I see now what you are saying about the advantage of coming to take photos in the late fall or winter for the very best wave action and light. This is an inspiration to me and I look forward to my next trip to see Carmel's beauty. Warm wishes, Marjie

oh, and one more thing to answer your question about "are these your sons" you asked this in one of my albums recently....I cant remember which album, but I think it was one with my son and his friend in the car driving.....only the blond headed one...the one driving. the dark headed boy is his friend...very silly and sometime annoying friend....who seems to go everywhere with us...

oh my GOD, Maria! I dont think I have ever seen anyone with "600" comments on one photo....WOW! I have seen up to 300 and something, but wow, never this many..holy cow...and for only 8 months. That's incredible! I just downloaded your Venetians Reflections...IT's G O R G E O U S on my desk top...the only reason I clicked on that photo is first I saw the red geranium flowers in the window flower box, and then I noticed the window and architecture, and I thought...Mmmhh??? that looks awefully familiar, then I saw, Maria Draper and I thought MMMHHH???!!! no way! Really, wow, could it be the same Maria....so I clicked on it and sure enough to my surprise it was! anyway, it's lovely...I love it! Oh, also, I tried to send you a friendship invite, but I am not able to send one to anyone. It comes up a BLACK screen...I noticed that you have your messaged center up, so if you dont mind, would you send me an invite?!?!! Hugs, Kelli

" Ce suflet trist mi-au daruit / Parintii din parinti, / De-au incaput numai in el / Atitea suferinti ? // Ce suflet trist si far' de rost / Si din ce lut inert, / Ca dup-atitea amagiri / Mai spera in desert ? // Cum nu se simte blestemat / De-a duce-n veci nevoi ? / O, valuri ale sfintei mari, / Luati-mă cu voi !
