MYOHMY - the light and reflections here are phenomenal, Mary. I totally love it.

And I love the framing with those gorgeous branches that balances the image perfectly.

P.S. I see your new entries of beautiful flowers and I have enjoyed each of them very much.

More P.S. I'm starting a new job on Tuesday. Good for our finances but not so good for my health. And I won't be visiting as much as I would like to.

I hope you enjoy the meeting with our very special friend next month. I so wish I could be there with you.

Hugs,
Kiki #11121868

Sorry, Kiki ~ I was off-line for a couple of hours, and didn't see your comment before hand...You can read my comments and P.S. about your new job, etc. on my flower bouquet photo.
