    David, this is beautiful. I'm thinking Georgia O'Keeffe. Have you been to the Museum yet?

    Really beautiful cloud imagery and the road leading to the purple mountains is beautiful too..I am trying to figure out what the knife like spatula is by the side of the mirror with two fingers on it,,,maybe an optical illusion or were you slicing a piece of cake when you shot this, David?:-))

    Your note made the picture. Truer words were never spoken. It is good to remember the past- so we can appreciate the future. Very nice picture David.

    This is excellent David, see how easily we can be distracted by real beauty, so you missed your exit, you can always turn back. By missing it you gained seeing something of beauty! In the end you lost nothing and only gained.
