Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
This is soooo great! His neck looks like a clacier! Excellent composition too! (the red can have a tiny bit of enhancing I think but then it would maybe no longer a MaryB picture because you are economical with bright colors:).

wo,what magnificient crown! Rearing live chickens at my side have been banned in most places especially because of the Avian bird flu..thank you so much for taking time to share your experiences,Mary,i was on the verge of tears reading it.I myself was a product of a full time working mom and i know what you mean.I remember when i told my mom last year that i was abused at my nanny's, she just said that she had no choice,she had to work for a comfortable life. I wondered why she didnt ask me what happened. Maybe there was no point knowing? I guess there are some wounds and hurts in my life that will remain unhealed and raw. but yes,i am reminded why i chose to stay home in the first place.You have gone before me and you are not encouraging me as one who has been there and done that.Thank you Mary:)

Lovely details and colours. Would be even better (I think) if it had turned its head toward rather than away from you.
