busi2ness Bio

I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. I want nature and peace around me, yet I do not want to relinquish digital photography. I have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. I do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where I do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet You can chat with me here on Yahoo or MSN or Skype. Web sites of mine: Gallery and a Play site. July 2008

Description


This is dedicated to those feeling lost because a child has to leave the nest soon.

Now Lord seal this prayer in Heaven
and let it follow them wherever they go
for I desire the best for them
and behold the seeds, that they will sow
also this prayer goes out for others
for their children you will also keep
and allow them to grow under your safety
while we at times are sleep

(full text)


Thank you for comments and visits to my previous upload.

I can releate to that feeling...I have had 8 children leave the nest and I cried just as hard as each one left saying a silent prayer that the paths they choose to take in life will always be the best ones...excellent capture!

kgb224 ()  posted at 1:52PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Excellent capture Piet.

Fred255 ()  posted at 1:57PM Sat, 03 May 2008

OH yes! Now this really is the business! Great photo!

barbdennist ()  posted at 2:00PM Sat, 03 May 2008

I especially like the one little seed taking flight against the blue sky. A beautiful picture with comforting words to go with it.

meico ()  posted at 2:04PM Sat, 03 May 2008

A beautiful combination of picture and words to tell a poignant tale. Mike

drag ()  posted at 2:05PM Sat, 03 May 2008

What a wonderful shot and very clever to go with the beautiful text. Hope you are well and things are good. The pink lady;)

mps ()  posted at 2:11PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Very pretty. I love how you got the one leaving the nest as it were.

thevolunteer ()  posted at 2:16PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Oh, what a perfectly wonderful shot. I know exactly how it feels. Aloha

Meisiekind ()  posted at 2:27PM Sat, 03 May 2008

This is just such a beautiful and tender image Piet. Your capture is brilliant, the light perfect and the dedi heart wrenching. (love the poem) Brilliant work as always!! xx

Beautiful words and capture, Piet!!!

Hendesse ()  posted at 2:57PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Outstanding shot, the details are excellent. Wonderful colors and light!

This is such a perfect shot. So beautiful and sweet. So are the words.

danob ()  posted at 3:18PM Sat, 03 May 2008

That's a wonderful image though in our case our little birds were very late in doing so!!

JeffG7BRJ ()  posted at 3:19PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Super composition Piet and expertly captured, love the attached poem, that and the image were made for each other. The one seed leaving the nest as it were, I have had three leave and one still at home. She knows when she's on to a good thing does this one. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

SapUS59 ()  posted at 3:25PM Sat, 03 May 2008

superb capture my friend and well composed !!

cfulton ()  posted at 3:48PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Brillant capture! The compsition and space are awesome. I will remember this image when my two seedlings blow their own way, in about another decade or so. Cheers, Clive

odie ()  posted at 3:48PM Sat, 03 May 2008

This is like no other. First, the one seed leaving on it's own heading downhill & upside down at first but will find it's own air current to send it on it's way. Then, the parent plant bending in flexibility away from the seed, but sturdy enough to hold up after the separation. Amazing and profound. The composition allows the focus to be on the "coming out" of the youngster. Very well done.

What a beautiful photo! They look so good in pictures... and not as good in our backyards lol Lovely dedication and a great representation of the sentiment expressed with the words :)

tizjezzme ()  posted at 5:12PM Sat, 03 May 2008

Pieter... this touches me like no other photo ever has. The words .. the poem .. is so beautiful, to go along with this brilliant work of art you created. As you know, my son will soon be off this Fall .. I dread the moment, yet I'm excited for him, too. He knows he always has a home to come back to here .. (I can't wait to scrub his ROOM!!! LOLOL) This is beautiful Pieter..... amazing work. fav
