    Beautiful... now I need to do it lol
    As for the fish- I always had to leave the room when my parents cleaned out our fish- I couldn't stand to see them wriggle and flop!

    Nice work, Ann.
    I like the Medieval theme here.

    Those colors...
    That mood...
    Very meditative, imo.

    Beautiful view, and fantastic perspective! I know everyone is saying how nice the colors and the trees are, and the stones of the castle are nicely detailed, but one thing I really love about this one is actually.. the little opening to the blue sky. It seems like a very cloudy day, and I love cloudy days! :)
    Oh yeah, thank you Ann for your comments too!
