You are so lucky Alandra. This is such a great shot, and to have it dedicated to you must be an honour. I find it so hard to comment on your photos Karen, because they are just so beautiful - they leave me speechless!

what a pleasant surprise, Karen, thanks so much! : ) That's exactly right and what I meant. It's so pretty!

Just checked in here, have grandson visiting so haven't been around here much lately, - its now just after 1 AM,

- but even more of a coincidence is that when we were out yesterday, we passed some planter boxes and what should I see, but an orange zinna exactly like the one shown here : ) -- so thought of you (it must've been telepathy) & pointed out the circle of stars to my grandson. Would have taken a photo but it wasn't quite a complete or perfect circle of stars, (some "stars" at the bottom weren't formed) so we went on our way, hoping to find a better example somewhere soon, - so am happy you found an example instead. thanks again
