My son Matthew writes from Zagreb, Croatia………………
Vedrana and I spent the day touring her hometown of Rijeka, snapping shot after shot, trying to come up with something worthy of a guest post on mom’s blog.
We raced up to the Fortress of Trsat to catch the “golden hour” and found these fabulous dragons, eager to pose for us.
I took ten pictures, trying to get just the right one and this was the best I could do.

Vedrana took just one:

When I saw the stunning photograph she had created I threw up my hands, recognizing that my novice attempts had been outclassed in every way.
Clearly, the photographer’s eye does not run in the family.
In one, last, desperate attempt to capture something beautiful, I took this one-

And finally I was satisfied with the results.

More! Bis! Encore!!!! Love, Erica
The best he could do was pretty darn good! He has his Mother’s eye. 🙂
Matthew… Great job. The dragons remind of the movie The Dark Crystal and some of the characters in it. I am most curious about your last photo. Good choice; Love you . It was wonderful to see you the other night and talk with you. Skype is an amazing invention.
Great shots Matthew!
The dragon is rather scary looking, but the young lady is Beautiful! Well done Matthew.
Vedrana’s photograph of the dragon is stunning, but your photograph of Vedrana is far more beautiful because of the feeling behind it. Sending my love to you in Croatia, Matthew. XXOO
Both are great captures! Congratulations, Matthew!
I love it, Matthew 🙂 Nice to meet you and your lovely wife. My, but she does take a good photograph.
Stunning pics, Matthew and Vedrana! The dragon is very fearsome, especially in that dramatic second pic. 🙂 Vedrana is so lovely.
Gorgeous! Love the silhouetted dragon.
Her one image is a stunner, indeed! Fantastic composition.
