Woohoo, I’m so thrilled 🙂 I absolutely love it and am honoured that you agreed to write. I think this one shows that you are truly the mistress of the form.
Maybe you will do it again when a photo inspires you? feel free to use any and who knows perhaps other people will and we will have started a new challenge!
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely work!
Thank you so much, Gilly. I appreciate your wonderful offer. I’m also happy that you love this. Having never experienced autumn of any of your seasons before, I was a bit apprehensive you know 🙂
I will. She’ll be thrilled knowing your sending her hugs from so far away. She wants to take me to Africa someday to see elephants in their natural habitant. Elephants are my fav animal. She’s a sweet girl.
Gorgeous words Celestine, I love Autumn minus the cold and sneezing! Well captured, I’d been down with Autumnal flu hence my silence. I’ll still pop back, do have a great weekend my sweet friend!
Much love. 🙂
