We enjoy the hunt, but we also just enjoy the scenery and time spent together. <br />You are most welcome to explain the cyprus knee.<br />MollyMarjorie (Molly) Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876434453158175693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-38696034894655316412009-07-23T13:11:46.644-04:002009-07-23T13:11:46.644-04:00I'm really glad y'all are enjoying Marty&#...I'm really glad y'all are enjoying Marty's superb work, and I appreciate your kind words. <br /><br />Sparrow, I'm smiling right now contemplating all those cute little fellows congregated around the trees, like a troupe of traveling carolers warm in their little Winter woolies in the Indiana snow.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-35197305211220576172009-07-23T12:23:16.085-04:002009-07-23T12:23:16.085-04:00We have those cypress knees even away up here in t...We have those cypress knees even away up here in the Missouri Ozarks, and in Bloomington, Indiana where my son and daughter-in-law live. One year when she was an undergraduate, she and a friend knitted a bunch of little hats and scarves, and one fine snowy night they dressed the cypress knees. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I don't have a picture, but many students surely remember the sight of many little "people" clustered at the base of the big cypress trees on campus.sparrowgrassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-57527295658166742142009-07-23T09:42:20.918-04:002009-07-23T09:42:20.918-04:00My goodness, Rachel ... you just never cease to am...My goodness, Rachel ... you just never cease to amaze and inspire me with your gift of putting words together. I love your description of "HOME," and what a beautiful and eloquent tribute to our friend Marty. Not only is Marty's photography truly awesome, but he is a very kind and special person who has a heartfelt way with words, too. <br /><br />Beautiful post, my friend.Southern Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451320470435065945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-34766887069223580502009-07-23T01:07:20.934-04:002009-07-23T01:07:20.934-04:00Thank you for sharing those wonderful and interest...Thank you for sharing those wonderful and interesting pictures!

It's been delightful to come back and see places familiar as home, and others which I'll never see. <br /><br />I'm so pleased that so many people dropped in and got to sample these wonderful photos. The "Closed" sign never blinks on and the display is up seven days a week, with hundreds of interesting and striking and downright amazing photos.<br /><br />And Alice---as soon as I got the post all published, my Sis e-mailed to tell me how to go grab the pictures and bring them here, but then they would not go in the gaps I'd made, and insisted on staying right on top. <br /><br />So, next time, I'll know how; next time, I'll do better. I'm just all toes (not even good as thumbs) when it comes to the 'Net.<br /><br />Thank you all for dropping in, and I hope you'll visit often!!RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-71538704974899933582009-07-22T18:31:10.984-04:002009-07-22T18:31:10.984-04:00Hi Rachel - you were lamenting the fact that you c...Hi Rachel - you were lamenting the fact that you couldn't place the photos in the right places in the text, were you not? I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I always post the photos to my blog FIRST, and then add the text where appropriate AFTERWARDS when in Compose mode.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574003980721581984.post-37854420300671116872009-07-22T16:41:46.541-04:002009-07-22T16:41:46.541-04:00What wonderful photos and beautiful places for thi...What wonderful photos and beautiful places for this native Mississippi girl to see again!

I am so glad you are able to connect emotionally to many of my photos. It's amazing how many of the images can evoke memories of all kinds. You are blessed to be able to articulate how they do such a thing. I am a succinct writer. I just get to the point and move on. But you linger and savor the moments... stirring them like you do a glass of sweet tea, perfectly happy to wait for the sugar at the bottom to swirl around and dissolve.<br /><br />I still want you to send me your email address. I will send you a high-resolution version of the cypress knees. There are some other photos of them at www.martykittrell.com. Look under the Lake St. Joseph category. My email is on my website.<br /><br />Thanks again, friend. <br />Martykittrellphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07088521950057241483noreply@blogger.com
