Not only do we share the same Overself of something, but I also started today with a dentist appointment. This is gorgeous, Val. A wonderful closeup with outstanding details. There is implied movement in there. I understand that south of the equator they open counterclockwise. Is that true? no #9109174Patricia Seidler December 16, 2010 0
Simply - absolutely beautiful Val!#9109365
