Your vision has brought so much beauty and clarity here.

They remind me very powerfully of some of the photos that Andy took. He might have done them in B&W. But the feeling is the same.

I am gobsmacked.

Your lightbox photo of the the Pothos was the inspiration I needed to part with some $$$ to buy a new creative tool.

How do you like the blue background? I love the way it worked with the first clematis shot.

I'm glad to have inspired you. You never know just where a compliment or an inspiration will end up. The ripples go on and on . . .

The blue is so beautiful!

I know what you mean about overlooking the details. We're overwhelmed with a blizzard of information, most of it useless or, at worst, harmful to our well being. Sometimes it's good to step away from the surface noise and just follow the veins in a leaf.

I really do appreciate your taking the time to leave comments. Recs are DU's currency, but comments are where we connect as real people.

That beauty deserved so much more than a lazy "rec".
