The Ribbon

                           

The ribbon without a bow,

Held her own,

Without fanfare, she was striking in her plain color,

Elegant in simplicity, and comfortable with matters of the heart.

    What an absolutely luscious photograph, and titillating insinuation…

  8. Ah, to have such a swan like neck.

  9. The blue striping of her dress and the way you’ve cropped the photo reminds me of striped tulips. Not sure if there is a blue-striped tulip in nature…hmmmm…there must be…

    I love the beautiful detail in this painting, the dress is gorgeous! A ribbon leading to the heart?

  12. So soft and pretty is she.

  13. Chenonceau is my FAVORITE chateau of all. I visited there in 1988 I think it was, on a high school trip. I have photos and often pretend I’m back there staring at that wonderful castle and gardens!

    I like the way the inanimate objects in your pictures develop their own stories. My mother was constantly chiding me for not knowing the difference between reality and fantasy, but I’ll take fantasy any day.
