And thank you for all the faves and all the comments and for being artists.
Here are a few of the people who talk to me often.  There are more but
I didn't want to make this too long.  And these came up first in my faves.

We bow our heads for those lost, those who have lost and those in danger.

I like llamas but admit I don't understand the llama thing on dA.

Soon, I will be leaving here to go to California. The trees are turning red and gold, the air is chilly and I will miss some of the best parts of the year here in this beautiful place.

I never realized there were so many images here tagged "Michigan".  Wow!  Now you know a little bit about where I live most of the year.

Oh my!  Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes!  For some reason, I hadn't realized that's what those reminders were all about.

I also want to apologize for being such a loser.  I'm horribly behind on my devWatch.  There are so many thumbs I want to see full sized and so I just let them all sit there.  I may have to delete a bunch of images just so I won't feel so overwhelmed.  If you don't hear from me on some favorite of yours, please don't assume it's because I don't like it... only that I've been too busy to look.

You each deserve a feature so I'll post one from each person who sent me a 'Happy Birthday'.

Thank you my talented and wonderful friends!

I am so behind on my Dev Watch! I want to look at everything, I really do but there is simply no way at this point.  My plan is to delete most everything in my message center and start fresh.  

I appreciate all the attention, the faves, the comments, the friendship and the wonderful work you all submit.  I will try very hard to be more present.  I miss you all and the talk with artists.

My feature for this journal is Summer Colors.  I hope you enjoy these selections!
