Mara, Fantablulous job!!!!!! Your pics are amazing. I think because your rock is huge it''s really catching those reflecting colors. Beautiful! I can''t wait to have a rose garden one day. Are all of your''s in pots? It seems like that is a good idea because you''d want to take them with you when you moved. Do you have a book of roses that you recommend? I''m trying to find the most fragrant types
Gorgeous ring and gorgeous pics! My fave are the snapdragon ones and the one on your doggie''s nose. What a good doggie to stay still and balance! What a yummy ring! Can someone please pass me the drool bucket?
Mara, Your ring is really beautiful! The roses are wonderful too! The pictures you took are looking very professional, I wish I could get those results.
I love the picture of your dogs paw with the diamond. Is she feeling jealous of your diamond yet? Maybe you can teach her to fetch it.
I hope you really enjoy this diamond, that is until it shrinks.....
hehehe thanks gals!! YES the blues are sooo fabulous (i adore blues in the garden as a perfect foil for all my pinks and apricots) that i had to be inspired to take a few more...this time with intense blues. so here we go...just a few.
I had NO idea that you had posted so many pictures! I was wondering why this thread was getting so long... I LOVE it. I love seeing your new beautiful diamond in all these different angles and lights. And the ring on Portia''s nose is just too cute.
I''m blind...I''m blind!!! Love those blue pics. I really did need to close my eyes so they could adjust to all of that bling!!! Wowwwwwie! I haven''t been around much lately (a long story...house isn''t finished...living with in-laws
...preschooler freaking out a lot lately) Anyway...Congrats on your new bling! That rock is HUGE! I think it is one of the most beautiful stones I''ve ever seen. Glad you love it so much!!! Enjoy it!
Aha! I knew it! I saw an extra page on this thread and knew there must be more pics! Absolutely love the new pics. I don''t think I will ever get sick of seeing this ring!!! aiya!!! It''s just too beautiful!
Great photography, BTW. You have inspired me to take some new pics of my ring. Heehee. Now if I''ll just quit being lazy and upload them to the comp so I can crop and resize and load to my ring thread. Eh...maybe later, I''m lazy tonight. Hee.
Please keep those photos coming! I remember you saying your next inspiration is the CD shot!
Hi Mara,
Old lurker here...Gorgeous photos! Congratulations on your beautiful new ring!!! This last batch of photos with the blue flowers is jaw-dropping!
I have to tell you something funny: Apparently I was ogling sparklies too close to bedtime the other night, because I dreamt about you and your new ring! In my dream state, I remembered that we''re both in the Bay Area. I dreamt that I ran into you somewhere, and you had this new, bigger diamond and you said it was 4.4 carats! But somehow the diamond was way bigger than 4.4 carats really would be, it was almost the width of your hand! It was HUGE! You let me try it on and I couldn''t lift my hand.
HAHA Anna that is the funniest story ever!! Gotta love the skewed reality in dreams...I''d love a 4.4c but I don''t know about one that was the width of my hand. Guess shrinkage would never set in if I could never see my hand eh?!?!
Thanks Miranda, Sunkist, Milly, CP, Ginger, Kristy, DH, Blen, Pearberry, Joang, Dodger, CJ...ooooh CD pictures, that is one I have not done yet. Ideas Ideas.
Ginger, I really wish you could have met up with us but there was that whole ''getting married'' thing
i uploaded my new batch of pictures, taken over the last week, last nite and played around with them this morning...hope you guys don''t mind if i post the faves...the funny thing is that i feel like alot of these look the same as some others? but i am STILL so mesmerized by them...
i remember this one, it was our bedroom lighting...i just loved how easy the arrows showed up so i ran downstairs to get my camera before going to bed. sick!!
another blue box..this time it's picking up some green from a translucent green glass that i moved to be near the diamond. i love how it picks up the surrounding colors absolutely so easily.
