Thanks for a zoomed-out image for reference. I’m thinking you took a picture of some cheese and macaroni carefully arranged to surround some split pea soup. : >D It’s a beautiful image, and surprising. Love that about macro photos. . .makes me linger, look, and stay amazed at the creation. Enjoyed viewing it. Cheers!

Congratulations again, Ann. And to think you can weave such magic while still at school…

Thanks, John. I’m over the moon (now let’s not start with the cliches again…)Your (ambiguous) comment makes me feel young again – or you could perhaps be implying that I’m neglecting my duties…I have a wonderful visual image of pupils running amock whilst teacher is out snapping pics:)
