Karen Jones July 1, 2025 at 6:54 PM Awesome display of your artistic skills! Congratulations on your win! I Am Anaya July 2, 2025 at 9:06 AM Delighted you think so, Karen, ty!

Duke Beaufort June 23, 2025 at 5:15 AM Anaya, you're absolutely right. Dropping bombs on people is just the beginning, not the end. Not very smart for the long term. George Orwell would be so proud of his predictions. Smiles!! I Am Anaya June 23, 2025 at 10:39 AM Too early to say what will monitor the response of the strikes, hopefully no more casualties! Cheers

Anne Winter June 18, 2025 at 10:00 PM This is petrifying and powerful :o I Am Anaya June 19, 2025 at 12:30 PM You're right, it's not open for interpretation, it is what it is, sweet Anne. Tyvm for reviewing!

Paige Hind June 18, 2025 at 5:40 PM Woah, gosh. This is frightening. I Am Anaya June 19, 2025 at 12:31 PM This could be the atomic bomb of Hiroshima, very, y e s.

Andrea Dietrich June 18, 2025 at 3:52 PM I hope you are wrong about the cause. The shape works really well here I Am Anaya June 18, 2025 at 3:59 PM Me too, Andrea . Hopefully things will be Okay for the USA ~ ty for your visit and review!

David Kavanagh June 18, 2025 at 3:05 PM Very nicely done Anaya, for such terrible weapons, they certainly make a mind blowing spectacle, The propaganda is even more powerful on all sides, cheers David I Am Anaya June 18, 2025 at 4:03 PM I tried to relate just that David, but unfortunately no propaganda! All are facts, Trump did say those things I quoted, now I don't know if we'd be in this mess if it were anyone else as leader, as allies to Israel, well you know the rest of the story. Mushroom is nature and make great shapes. Thanks for the kind review. Cheers!
