Thank you each so much; I appreciate your nice comments!

I so enjoy the creative way of your presentation. Enjoy the beauty of the colors, the textured look that you gave it, enjoy how you bring the purple flower out of the brick, even the reflection. Gorgeous, creative look that I love my friend.
Have yourself a most wonderful day. #9590183

Hi Patti!

So happy to read you got out to the beach. Fresh (hot?!) air can be great for the soul! :)))

This image deserves a poem under it. In a coffee table book. :D

When you make your book someday let me know if you need a poem. I'll write it for you.

Beautiful image.

I dreamed one day of a perfect life
Where sorrow didn't dwell,
Where bird calls softly drift mid air
As I lay by my wishing well.

A coin I'd toss into the pond
Where all my thoughts came true,
And then I woke and found once more
All I lack is you.

-Laura E. Swan #9597582

I am fascinated by this image, Patti. At first I had reservations about it, but I have come to like its subtle ways very much. You have done some fine & mysterious duplication and overlay that work together beautifully.
