When was the last time a photo of a fish made someone cry? Seriously: the mackerel (which I’m crazy about) were so beautiful and plump, and that robins-egg background is my favorite color, and between the two, I got a little misty-eyed.

The phrase reminds me of a similar English one… when you invite people over for dinner, you sometimes say that you are “having them for dinner”, meaning you are having them OVER for dinner, like “We’re having Jane and John for dinner”. So it’s often made into a joke when discussing what you’re eating… for example, when looking at the lobsters in a tank, “Oh, don’t you look nice, we’re having a dinner party and we’d love to have you!”. Not the same, but similar.

Give up, Bea, some phrases truly do get lost in transaltion. Incidentally you “find a destiny for” something, not “a destiny to”. The props and background papers for your photos are superbly chosen and the overall look irresistibly fresh. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Bea, I am admiring your art work. Every pictures are made with special design and though. I never been able until now taking a picture of fish as beautiful as yours.
Just want to stop by today and drop couples of lines - have a great weekend.
