Description
The Holidays always challenge me in many ways...
Reflection can be good, and can be humbling.
Losing my Dad on Dec 26, at 64 was the grim reminder of how temporary this visit to Earth really is...
My LAST upload for 2011... I had over 100 Ladies that didn't make the cut to be posted in 2011... I'm still missing something in each render, maybe this year I'll find what that is? If not, I'll keep trying.
I can't thank everyone enough here for their support and fellowship. SO Many Great Souls here that I've never met and may never meet, but; all have a special place in my heart. And all I look so so so forward to hear from... whether in Site mail, eMail, or comments. all mean So Much.
To My Fav Dr. Carl! You are a special person, that really does bring a medicine to the hearts of those you touch... From your flowers to your Dragons, they all touch my soul deeply, and no doubt many souls here.
To: RGUS Deane, your inspiration is beyond words, and; as I know you are not a Man of MANY words, your brief visits add a spark to the light in my life.
To: Godin, Val, your generosity and Beautiful Characters are a gift that truly DOES keep on giving.
To: Pixeluna, Jen, your help and kindness is evident in each render and comment... Your help has been invaluable.
To: Adrie your creativity in Composition blended with the beauty of your characters, is so refreshing to follow. My New friendship with you is so cherished.
To: mgtcs your comments are always so thoughtful and honest, and your ART is a blessing to behold.
To: Faemike55 , Mike I don't know how you do it, but your comments as so spot on, and your Photos and ART always an inspiration.
To: eekdog, i cherish every visit i get from you and Never miss a Render, as you bring a great sense beauty to everything.
To all that I've missed, you are the reason I keep trying...
To all that have ever commented, I'm forever in your debt...
May 2012 be the year of GREAT things for this planet... And especially all of you!
Cheers All. Make a toast this New Years Eve, for Peace and Love to spread like no other year, and Great things will take place here.
Till Next Time.
From So. California, I bid you all a GREAT NEW YEAR.

TEACHER: Clyde , your composition on 'My Dog' is exactly the same as your brother's.. Did you copy his? CLYDE: No, sir. It's the same dog.
