Brenda- Hello girl. How you been? Hope all is going well for you. Good to see you again. Pretty but dangerous presentation of this wicked weed.
Love the brilliant colors that pop and know you could see it standing out so proud. The definitions are excellent and the colored patterns so well defined. Lighting and clarity fabulous.
Excellent work
You take care of yourself, be safe, have a wonderful day. #6167166

Thanks for the birthday wishes Tammy.

Sorry I don't know what poision Ivy looks like, but I know we don't have it here in Ca. So I can't take a pic of it for ya.

Well Melissa thats what my husband said. And it looked like it too me too but a much bigger leaf than I have usally seen that is for sure.

Maybe I will get another picture posted tonight if I'm lucky. Have a wonderful weekend!! #6171250
