1. Beautiful photographs. Smoke is beautiful......
as a child I used to watch the adults smoking. The curling smoke wafting up and around. I started smoking pretty young and must say playing with the smoke was a big incentive and one of my greatest pleasures of smoking. I've quite smoking, at last, but your photos remind me of one of the things I enjoyed about it.

There was a scene in Shanghai Express with Marlene Dietrich smoking that has beautiful shots of her smoking and the smoke curling up like your photos. No, I'm not inspired to start smoking again. In no way would I look glamorous like she did, and smoking has lost it's cool.

2. My dear JeffR!
Oh, boy...

These are simply gorgeous...

There's one that looks a bit like a calla lily, with a pink tinge. I love all the pictures, but this one is my favorite.

It's #7...

Thank you.

Your work is so damn inspiring!

:hi:

5. Fabulous
What fun, these are beautiful.

You just given me an idea for my late-at-night, desperation, get-in-my-daily-shot photo. Beats close ups of the cats any day.

8. To a former heavy smoker with a bent for the visual as well, these are very
seductive. I like 7 the best. I also like it that at times they all but line up with each other as they are stacked. It may not be deliberate, but it works really well.
i. e. 5 - 6 - and seven.
It would make a spectacular vertical tryptic with very little work.
I like these, but not enough to make me want to smoke, she says knowing full well these are not wafts from cigarettes.
