I like this one and the photo used to bring a clarity to the work. Thanks for sharing both with us. I appreciate your visit to my page, Valsa. This has been a year with plentiful figs, but because of so much rain when they start to ripen, they taste fermented. I tried to eat some the other day, and they were not good. Sara K

I didn't have to visualize your serene scenic Basho, in my mind! you attached a perfect picture with it! "Heedless" beautifully applied word! Thanks - Marshall ( All the best in the contest)

Sorry, I didn't give you a chance to visualize ! I am sure you would have visualized a more beautiful scene... (just joking) Thank you Marshall for your wonderful response !

Nice imagery that leaves me wondering if clouds float or drift? Aloha!

Clouds float.... also drift as we walk and move ! :) Thanks !

Heedless sky...crystal water...and people in the far off distance, not to spoil anything. Very beautiful and tranquil! This in fact would make a lovely study for a watercolor. Joe.
