  1. OMG!
    I have to turn my calendar page!
    I really hate that. Not because time is flying, but because your art is.
    Ahh, but Duke soothes me. I see that time can pass gracefully, artfully and fulfillingly.
    Happy June, dear Marina!

  2. Thank you Dear Marina… for those wonderful well wishes for a beautiful June…. Just as I type a cloud parted and the sun shines through… Loved your photo images… May the June Sun soon rise upon your land Marina and shine it’s love and Light upon all who are emerging from their ‘Sacred Seclusion’ period of isolation…

    • ‘Sacred Seclusion’… there’s always s need for that! I think you’ll see more sun now and later on, tonight a Strawberry Moon Eclipse (penumbral).
      Here’s to more light, Sue and more love and Gratitude for our friendship
      …and hugs to top that up! 😉😘🤗❤

  11. Haha Gandalf! I can’t decide which photo I like better…with or without the flare. With is kind of magical…but without, though filtered, has a pure majesty. Perhaps you couldn’t decide either and posted both 😉
