Lesley,

And here I was, blinded by the subject.  I shall now pleat the fifth and drop the subject. ::)  Off to have a nap.  Sheer luxury.  8)

OK, I'll stop the curtain terms.  As cliff said.... It's curtains!!  :D

What a beautiful picture, Cliff, the subject, the composition, very pleasing. :) :) :) the sort of picture that makes people say: "Aaaah" when seen on a big screen.

tks, cliff... ah, to be in the mediterranean now! we've arrived a bit early at that stage where everything is white and likely to remain that way for a long time--makes it hard to remember that we have other seasons where its totally different-even a time of year when everything is green! at this time it seems unbelievable that anything can grow here at all, other than maybe annuals! i think i will go back to editing summer flower pics, lots of those to show yet  ;D

My Acer shirasawanum 'Aureum' sitting in its pot on the front doorstep.  Will it survive?
