You have talent with that camera, Mahmood!

I went through all your on-line photos today
and thought they are great. The family pixs
were very touching and your garden pixs are
superb (along with your “green thumb”). TY!

Encore!

Thank you Ingrid. My camera for most of the shots is the Canon 20D.

Mahmoud, I come back to the site because I love your sarcasm and strong opinions but recently, when I find myself pressed for time, I come back to look for great pics! What kind of camera are you using? Great pic, as usual..

I am also extremely happy and relieved that
Alan is alive and that he has been freed from
his captures. That ordeal of being in prisoner
for 114 days must have been pure torture. His
captures should be brought to justice for this
crime.

Now, we need to free a whole people who are prisoners under the Israeli occupation. Imagine
the decades of torture they suffered. Their captures certainly need to be brought to justice as well.

Very nice gesture to dedicate this to him.

I was crying when I watched the news yesterday.

To think of what his parents have gone through.

At times I wonder what God thinks of the sadness and evil that people commit in his name. God wants peace and love, not kidnapping and torture.

Exquisite shot of the water lily.

Cheers, Mashtan

Beautiful flower; I remember the white ones in the pond I used to go to when I was little and what great pleasure I would get seeing them every day.

So glad for Alan and his family that he has finally be released. It is good news indeed.
