Thank you Tarun, my friend! Namaste.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting, richard! I started "assembling" this image about 9 months ago, and ran across it yesterday....and decided to "finish" it. Here is the original image I started with.

Thank you for your gracious comments, Susan, Tiia, and Liz! :-) There is much beauty in the "commonplace" things that surrounds us everyday, but often it takes some time, work - and inspiration - to "see" and appreciate it. Thanks again for your nice feedback!

Thank you, Donna!! Sometimes I like to take an "ok" shot, or even a throw away (for some reason)....and try different artistic fx and layering techniques, to see if I can make it a whole lot more interesting. thanks again!! :-)
