    I am hoping you will add this to Dimensions as well. I was just looking for it in the moderation queue. Mahalo for joining.
    I see your beautiful work streaming in and would love to offer you a feature today. Favouriting this a few minutes ago has catapulted it through the image feed and I see many members here admiring your amazing image, and a feature will give you a wider audience as well.

  • A.M. Ruttle replied

    Hi Sharon, I’m a little tardy in picking up on this; I’m down in the Red Desert area for work and have been doing car time! So glad you like this GGO; thanks so much for your interest in featuring it!!!!!
