Those two objects in the sky are very beautiful at night. I don't get outside to see them much anymore but maybe someday once again I will. Your visit to my page was inspiring. Sara

Hi Sara, Thanks for stopping by my page to comment. Glad you enjoyed the imagery. I am fortunate my bedroom windows look out onto the South East and every morning I witness the mystery of the cosmos. Be well :) Paulette

Paulette, I like this very much. I have tried several of the variations to the LIND30 format. Interesting, but I find them hard to fill out my themes adequately. You have done so admirably!

Milton, as always I am delighted by your uplifting comments. I find each of us have an inherent poetic style. You tackle the complicated forms where I tend to flourish in the short forms. :)Paulette
