Tiny white angel
Speak, hear and see no evil
I speak no evil

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

So beautiful..Angels are a favorite of mine..
Happy SSS.
This angelic figure bright, the shadow less so. Yet the shadow only exists in darkness because of the brilliance of the heavenly figure. A wonderful view of sweetness and light radiating the warmth of the sun...
Nice.
Your sweet angel looks very happy basking in the sunshine! I LOVE your haiku! Have a great week ahead Gemma :)
A neat shadow shot. Love your slide shows and
accompanying music. The peninsular in particular!
What a sweet tiny guardian to bring comfort to you my friend...WOW, what a bummer you are sick with summer approaching. I was so lucky last year, not getting sick at all, but then I am not around a great deal of people to pass me the bugs. Being a teacher does have it's setbacks, you see all the bugs and all their varieties...argh!
We are hoping to see the sun today, been raining hard for 4 days now. I have so much furniture to paint for clients and it's all sitting 'round in my house, don't have a garage, so my house is truly my studio. I don't paint much in the winter, cause I usually do it outside...problem with living in the North, have a very short window to work.
Hope you're feeling better soon, it's no fun getting sick at our age...have a wonderful week sweet friend.
Hugs back at cha!!!

O holy angel,
