    WOW…............. “it is the fragrance of the future,
    and of life a zillion years ago”

    Your beautiful image and those lines belong together. You certainly have my permission to use my work if you have any desire to work on an appropriate graphic. Your daughter might appreciate it when she gets to our years.
    Cheers,
