wow, very creatively done Debs, such lovely lighting...there is nothing blue about those flowers ;-) they are ever so pretty...

The Lily Windmill is the only operational flour producing windmill on mainland Australia and it is in Albany ;-)

Beautiful capture, colors and light, Debbie! Would love to have these growing in our garden. PS - We had a couple of grizzlies last year walk by us less than 20 feet away. My wife booked our bear trip for this summer last Sunday. #10201328
