(You know I ditto Doug. I say it all the time. Despite your "drudgery work", it's the best place EVER to spend 8 working hours!) What a beautiful mosaic! I'm sure each one of the 1400 very tiny pics were taken by you also - combined with the beautiful Cairns Birdwing, it's truly a intricate and wonderful masterpiece, my friend. Congratulations to Magic Wings on 10 years of supplying Nature's abundant beauty, as well as, education to the public - may it have many, many more years doing just the same! #9031588
