Thanks so much, Tania. I really enjoyed writing for your contest. I find haikus very difficult to write, but I give them a try now and then. Congratulations to everyone who participated in your contest, and thanks again for my placement.

Thanks so much for the FAVE, Edward. I'm almost finished reading your book and have begun mulling over in my head what I want to write in the review on Amazon. I'll let you know when I get it done.

Yep, I think they do. I thought about hummingbirds using them for a birdbath, but that seems a stretch.

Perfectly imaged, methinks. Kudos, Gershon
