Just Breathe -

 moment to breathe.

More moments to breathe deeply. . . . .

To think

To wish

To remember

To hope

I look back over my photos taken when time often

 stood still. There were moments to enjoy, to escape, 

to see new places, even old places but with a fresh eye. 

I feel lucky I had those moments and recorded

 them . . . . . for times such as now.

This week I really need to breathe, deeply, so I may not post 

anything new. Each day is somewhat clouded, some by the weather, 

some brought upon us by the Corona virus, some by family issues, 

others by household problems (awaiting the plumber here), and many

 by just day to day living with distancing from our loved ones, wearing

 masks, and feeling discomfort and cautious when away from the 

comforts and safety of home and garden. . . . . . whilst others choose

 blatant, uncaring behavior causing us stress and concerns.

Please be kind to one another and do the right

 thing when it comes to health and safety.

My gift from canvaspop, and one for you!

If you are interested in a fantastic Giveaway - read on!

Recently I was contacted by Kristoffer

from the company called canvaspop

This online printing company has a "huge passion for quality art, photography 

and home decor". 

Kristoffer, who found my blog, offered me a free 16"X20" canvas print 

and hoped I would review their product here.

My print arrived yesterday and I must say I am thrilled with it.  

I wholeheartedly agree that this company is all that it states it to be on 

their website HERE

Excellent customer service - ease in ordering - fabulous product.

Be certain to watch their video showing the process of turning your photo, or 

any photo you love, into a piece of beautiful art to hang on your wall.

***************

How do you pick a special photo to turn into 'art' for your home or office?

If, like me, and most bloggers, you take a lot of photos, so you have many which you 

might enjoy seeing on your walls.

Personally, some very special days remain vividly in my memory from my 

overseas travels of the past several years and naturally I took a lot of 

photos in many countries.

Often it's a place and its people. The smallest nudge brings back the sights, 

sounds, colors and smells. Sometimes it's the smiles on the faces.

My day in Cochin, India a couple of years ago is one of those days.

I took many photos of the beautiful children and their mothers. I chose one

image for its colors and the lovely woman working diligently to support her family. 

Recently I have been collecting my many images of women around the world to do 

a special post. I just know there will be others I will want to have turned into these 

wonderful canvas prints. . . . . . . and  canvaspop will definitely be the company 

I'll be using.

Perfect timing - Kristoffer worked with me to assure my art would arrive after I 

returned from a trip - and not be left outside on the porch.  My canvas was 

carefully wrapped and shipped in a sturdy box ensuring no damage.

On opening the package I was immediately thrilled with the print. The colors are perfect, 

the image is amazingly sharp having been enlarged from my original small photo. 

I had the option of wrapping the print around the sides of the frame but, as I wanted 

to keep as much of the beautiful cobalt blue tones in the background at the top, 

decided on the white sides. The piece arrived with a hanger. 

Below you see it now on the wall here in my office where I'll be enjoying it every 
day when here at my desk.

So now the best part, for you my readers!
