Hello Marie: Rita really likes this one as well, but I cannot enter it as it did not get an EP. Sorry about not being on Skype, although I did try and left you a message. I have been covered up with my taxes, ran into really big problems with one of my renters. Then I went to Las Vegas for several days. Hope that we can talk this week.
I really liked your work, I am sure slow getting around to all of it. Thanks for the heart on my BofP photo.
See you soon, Merna

Wonderful capture and artistic treatments, Merna. This needs to be framed and hanging on a wall.
