  Nikki has such a way with words...I feel so impotent following her comments.
She said it perfectly.

  This is a remarkable image, Rona. I like that we can not see the woman's face. I think the weathered textures and lines of the building take care of that nicely. And the dirty, broken window adds nicely to a rather sad image. Is this the old age that awaits us all? So be it. The alternative is not at all appealing. :)

  Thank you very much Steve and Carol for your kind comments! And yes, aging is not very attractive, but it sure does beat the alternative!
