What a great way to start my morning, sweet Nicki .:):):)
You gave me a pure energy indeed my dearst friend.. The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration. In this gorgeous creative macro flower, and a speech, the emotions of benevolence and complacency .. you gave me this fine inward irradiations, from the highest degree of passionate love, to the lowest degree of good will..
Thanks again and again my wonderful sweet Nicki..
Absolutely it go to my favorite, and to my site:

A lovely dedication to dear Parehan...and a gorgeous floral, the blues and violets are stunning, perfect DOF with excellent details, the light is wonderful...I love the way you composed it...beautifully done dear Nicole, thank you for your welcome home, it is soooo good to be home, they had monkeys there but I was lucky to barely see 2 of them and there was no way I could get a picture...but I did get lots of pictures, the place was immensely huge, there were 5 hotels on the grounds, and the architecture was incredible, the artifacts and furnishings were amazing, every detail was so well thought out. It was also incredibly hot for this time of the year...but the wedding was beautiful and we had a great time..big hugs dear!!
