Wow! Russ, you are on a roll! I love the textures, especially the vivid landforms and growing things under the big scary red form hovering over it all. The shack is totally charming too!
Thank you, Jan. I keep on working and learning … appreciate the encouragement!
59 to me is – Adieu Glaciers! Good-bye Beauties! See you on the other side..
Look very forward to seeing you at/in Paradise!
Thank you Leslie! Love the comment.
