Clever, clever, clever - and the source was completely unexpected (to me anyway).

Wow! Amazing colors and I am very interested in how you made the changes! The addition of the light and waterfall is magical!

Wow, nice work Andrea! My favorite are when the light is added, and when the waterfall is added. Of course, I love the colors. Very warm. What a surprise to see the original subject.

Well, the storms missed us, but did land a mess a few towns over. We were very lucky indeed. You won't believe this , but Pogo is lying on a pile of blankets and watching the TV. It's the shopping channel and they are demonstrating an exerciser chair. He hasn't taken his eyes off the TV. Hmmmm, I wonder if he is thinking that maybe I need one of these chairs?

I've just gotten an estimate to re-do my driveway. Oh my, I was standing but should have sat down for the $$ surprise. Wow, I have to think about this.

I'm expecting daughter Deanne to arrive shortly, so I'd best get going. You and Izzy have a wonderful day. Woofs and hugs, Pogo & Edna B.

Andrea, you are getting more and more abstract in your work every day. I love it! My favourite is... I can't decide... I love them all. Some have a kind of spiritual quality I think. Sorry for being so late getting back to you...have been away again..this time for 9 days... and was lucky to even get the MoM post up at all. Thanks for being such an important part of Mandarin Orange Monday:) I noticed you too did a mainly visual post...like me... few words - makes the work even more dramatic:) I hope you are well.
