Innocent victims then explode
in ghastly showers of blood a…

February has been a good month for me with 14 Featureds in various groups and 3 Top Ten finishes in various challenges. Both my Nikon and Sony have featured.

Thank you very much to all the Hosts who have featured my wor…

New co-host in Russian Speaking Art!

Posted 6 months ago

G’day! Or should that now be G’dayski!

Luda Nayvelt asked me to be a co-host of this group, which I joined a few months ago and have been making regular posts to – and I’ve agreed. What have I got myself into?
