Oh, how poignant. This evokes so much in me and the imagery it creates is just... fantastic. You've done so much with so little and it has turned out to be amazing.
Bravo! Encore!!!!!!!
Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea

Ah! The power of a moment! Isn't it incredible when an observation becomes so much? More so even, when put to the page I think.

Well done!
