absolutely beautiful shot, and poem to match…
a very lucky guy, indeed!
LjMaxx replied
Thanks Scott.. Very much too. However.. This I wrote for an artist here on the site. Her’s were the 1st fractals I fell in love with.. She was kind and positive to me & mine as I started learning them. (none of those here anymore..Deleted..lol) Gave me tips and constructive critique but most of all she gave me faith in moving foward with it all. She is grand indeed… :)
Scott Bricker
please excuse the assumption of “he”...my apology
