Decided that was too tricky so backed off that idea... will be interesting to see if my modest little camera produced anything of note... still haven't read the manual mind you - so its all a bit random for me with the camera!<br />Cheerio,<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-4586647472862845002011-04-26T18:41:24.441+10:002011-04-26T18:41:24.441+10:00Hi Sophie,

I a...and a most pleasant Easter to you to Ronnie! <br /><br />I agree about Tumblr being a most curious vehicle... most players very careful to attribute... but sometimes acknowledgements get lopped off, by mistake or otherwise.<br />I add the artist's name when reblogging if I know it.<br />It is, to some extent, pretty random... when reblogging images that had few notes... perhaps the tumblr site itself was not getting much traffic ... just sending out images in a new context meant the images got picked up.... even went a bit viral!<br />The science of that is hard to work out...I guess its a case of expect the unexpected.<br />... it opens out the notion of being in the blogosphere.... potential for finding some magic, excellent sites and complex material too... despite the brevity! <br />Wonder what we'll be thinking say 12 months form now Ronnie!<br />enjoy the days...blue skies here so far!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-75321503770038753812011-04-22T07:48:09.921+10:002011-04-22T07:48:09.921+10:00hope you have a delightful easter sophie...... isn...hope you have a delightful easter sophie...... isn't tumblr a funny thing?

Late night angst gone now.. thanks all!<br /><br />Annamaria....<br />tonight I found your watercolour "a river runs through me" and reblogged it on tumblr ... to die for... just wanted to swim in the lushness of it! Have a lovely Easter day with your daughter and hope people snaffle up your work and the day is lots of fun! Il be over to see more of your beauties A.M. Thanks you for your words!<br />S<br /><br /><br />William... <br />nice to meet you... welcome to this impossibly eclectic world of my visual interests (for starters) where I sometimes get around to posting my own work... (well there's signposts to other places where my work lives!) Thanks for your kind words...very cheering!<br />That guy scribbling is a good one hey... I had a sneak peak at your blog and ...yes...you scribble terribly well I must say... found some very blogworthy things... e.g. the drawings that went with the text on stuff like string theory... yes please!<br />Rumi I reckon offers a universe of thought ....one can climb in and visit many rooms ...will pop over and say hello!<br />S<br /><br />MP.... do you know a good declutterer?<br />My studio is shrinking ... finding its hard to work out where to do the painting... i did some large ones... now thinking miniatures...and paper.<br />That short break is certainly offering a tonic for this cabin fever. Haven't even left and already feel better... know that feeling?<br />A K's work is a stand out for sure... see ya!<br />S<br /><br />Mary,<br />Swoon is good... yes... Kapoor .... and Orrico! Glad you liked!<br />Below the equator is quite a different world ... all those daffodils and chicks breaking out of eggs never rang true! <br />When I lived closer to the south pole (Melbourne) that whole autumn/things dying off scenario was enough to make you a bit melancholy around Easter ...Christ on the cross made more sense in a way than those fluffy chicks!<br />I read tonight that in Norway they have a festival of crime fiction and film over Easter ... so there you go... !<br />Too bad you dont get the 4 or 5 day break too... the states being religious .... curious that!<br />hope things are going along nicely since your southern break! <br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-33152304600174446382011-04-22T03:07:18.829+10:002011-04-22T03:07:18.829+10:00Sophie,

Wonderful.<br /><br />As a self centered Northern Hemispherite, I hadn't connected the dots on how you folks below are thinking more about the death aspect. We are in full on new life and are hungry for more. Fall can be very inspiring in an internal sort of way.<br /><br />Thank you for yet another inspiring post. Enjoy the holiday. In the US, this is a one day affair, and then business as usual.

I was naturally attracted to the guy scribbling. i have a lot of work like that. And the symmetrical stuff is delicious. I roared out loud when I saw the blue canvas and the newspaper installation. Unbelievable. I've just started Rumi--got it as a gift two years ago. Very impressed. And of course there's the ubiquitous Ms. S. Fantastic post.
