  3. Your creativity, in photography and watercolors, is breathtaking. I love the photographs of the bare trees in Millbrook and the weeping willow, but I really appreciate your watercolor of “Sunlight Over Trees”. Your eye for beauty is remarkable. A God-given gift that you so generously share with others. Thank you, El. You bless many with your artwork.

  8. Took a peek at these yesterday on my phone, but it’s so nice to see them on a larger screen. I especially like the watercolors you have done of the hills upstate, very uplifting!

    • The children look happy because they love, and are loved by Michael, the founder of the home. I have watched many “shorts” of other African orphans and there is fear in their eyes and sorrow. That’s why I believe in Michael’s cause. Thank you so much for your comment!

  18. Hello Ellen,

    Hope everything fine there. Long time I couldn’t see your posts.

    Your post is an absolute masterpiece of photography! Each image is like a portal to another world, captivating the viewer with its beauty, depth, and emotion.

    Each photograph tells a story, evoking a range of emotions and leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.

    Your photographs are not just images; they are windows into your soul and reminders of the beauty that surrounds us every day. Keep shining your light and continuing to inspire us with your awe-inspiring work!

    Regards.

    • Dear Arun, Thank you so very much for your treasured comment. It means an awful lot to me! It has been a long time since I have seen your posts. Maybe they dropped my subscription. I will try to resubscribe. Your posts are so full of knowledge. Most of them sail above my head because my thinking is, unfortunately, so concrete. Anyhow I want to read them because I am studying Hinduism with a good friend of mine and it is very important to me, especially now in the last phase of my life. Your comment was so very generous. Bahut, bahut dhanyawaad! 🙏

      • Bahut bahut, Dhanyabad. Your reply made me very happy. I am happy to know that you are in the path of Wisdom. Read the 10 principal Upanishads with full concentration.
        Starting from Isha Upanishad, reach up to Chhandagyo Upanishad (the 9th one).
        Brihadaranyaka is vast. Reaching there, take a break. Parallelly, you can read the Bhagavad Gita.
        Regards.
        Namaste. 🙏😊
