    I love all the greens in this one. The water is perfect. :) The different textures and brush strokes keep my eyes moving from one spot to another in order to “drink it all in” as you said. Very well done.

  • richiedean replied

    They’d had plenty of rain before this shot Lynn, that’s why this little trickle had a bit of a rage on …. and it works wonders for the greenery … so glad you like it and thanks for the encouragement :))
