“The work of art must seize upon you, wrap you up in itself and carry you away. It is the means by which the artist conveys his passion. It is the current which he puts forth, which sweeps you along in his passion.” ~ Pierre Auguste Renoir
Whenever I need a heartlift, I surf over to JustPics and Macromoments to see what my friend, Bonnie Bruno , is up to. Here’s a woman whose art truly seizes me. Not only is Bonnie exceptionally gifted with words, she has this amazing ability to capture the essence of life through something called a ‘macro lens.’ She brings beauty to us, up close and personal. Awesome talent.
“Bonnie Bruno has been writing professionally for 25 years, specializing in children’s books, articles, columns, and stories for both the inspirational and general marketplace. Her work has been published over 450 times in 40+ different magazines and newspapers.”
“Her work reflects an eye for detail, as well as a passionate appreciation for nature. She specializes in landscape, black/white, and macro (closeup) photos.”

Vicki, this post means so much to me. Thank you for your support and encouragement. You are a blessing as a friend and as a fellow writer. You’ve overcome a lot in your life, and I’m so happy to have met you.
As a little plug for fotoLibra, I’d like to say that my photos are now available there, also. They do a wonderful job, and I’m glad to have a gallery there:
