Deborah, it's tough to decide which I like better--I'll go with this one, only because the colors are more unique than the first one. #2269514

Deb (?), it that whaqt you like to be called?
Very very nice!
The heron/crane just adds a really un-needed touch, it is that good I think..and apparently a whole lot of others too!!
Enjoying your gallery, can't comment on all.
