Laura, it appears that you stood too close to tree-man Douglas Perry. ;-)The clouds, melting walls, flower buds, trees; I never know where you will turn up next.
I'll have to keep my eye out for you the next time I am out shooting.

Wow! You guys! Thanks so much! :D I'm so flattered!!!I am very housebound in the winter so I MUST create when I get these bursts of pent up energy. I think I'd better get the wood in the fireplace burning soon to warm up my hands as well.
I'm glad that you all like this one. :D
YAH! Where *IS* Mr. Tree? Good point. I think I might take a walk in the woods again and see if I can find him.
HUGS!
SSSLaura, Lala, Swanee, Miss Rose. etc..!
HeeHee to Irene. Yes. One just never where you might see me again! Keep your eye pealed out there and stay tuned! #10564111
