It's really a very beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing.

I'm pleased you like it. Thank You.

You are welcome, friend

Wow ... you captured the diversity found in that one little flower so well.

Thanks. Hopefully I have made a decent black and white conversion showing that diversity.

You are definitely in the top tier as far as photographers go on here. It's always gold on your page:)

You are so kind, thank you.

To more important things, I'm off to a very busy junction near spaghetti junction tomorrow with many of my new friends, holding 'yellow boards' along the roadside notifying the traffic about covid-19/vaccine passport truths, and then on to Birmingham city centre where we do 'outreach' handing out information and speaking with people to try and wake more people up. We have been getting a mainly positive response recently, which is great.

I hope things are okay where you are.

I keep the good fight up online mainly. Altho tomorrow there is a celebration of unity and life, we may join in.

Omicron is ripping through people right now. Fortunately it is mild. In a few weeks, it will very difficult for the powers that be to continue the narrative, and boy did Joe Rogan and Dr. McCullough come through.

I really feel we are near the end of this thing.

Glad to know we are allies are other fronts.
