    Oh the subtleness of that comfy bed and window!! I wish I could lie down before going to the airport in a few minutes.
    The colors and comp are sublime…and you know we’re tired!!
    I hope you’re finding time to replenish your own well 😉

    ahh what a subtle and soothing image! And so clever with the cactus in the background!
    I sometimes miss the cactus posts on monday because I go to bed when most of you post …….
    Hope your cactus Monday was a happy one!

    Sorry to be late Lisa.
    I really love dropping by here.
    Wow! I just have to shout I love this piece.
    It’s very spectacular!!!
    I have never seen such a beautiful bedroom piece. Love the softness of the fabric, backdrop, flooring….
    The atmosphere is just right for sleeping!
    I would love to own a world class bedroom like this.
    Is this a 10 stars hotel resort room.
    Bye Lisa.
    You must take care of yourself.
    I know you are very busy and hope you are keeping well.
    I love you as always:)

    I’m glad I saw this image of yours; you are as powerful with more muted colour as you are in what I consider your trademark images. Of course I also like the strong lines in this one.

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.
