Jean,

You have outdone yourself! All the pictures are breathtaking. As someone who is trying her hand at photography, I am in awe of your ability to set up the moment and capture it not with just composition and lighting, but with true feeling for your subjects. Through you, they all have immediacy for the viewer. Even now, I find words are proving inadequate for what I want to way. Thank you for this gift of yourself.
