  I loved it too Jo. Thank you very much. My health has gone worse. I will have to take a sick leave and work at the same time – I know it sounds like feudalism, but it is as it is.

    I’m so sorry you’re not well Paula, and that work can’t just be shelved. Recovery would be speedier if work just disappeared. Sending good health wishes your way.

This is a great reward, the focus is so clear and I love the angle of the wings, it’s a very cool photo. The vignette on this is also very nice. I hope you are okay there was mention above about taking sick leave?

  Hi Mark, thank you very much for your review. I have a nasty problems with ear and sinuses and could not see the doctor due to too much work, now I have a flu too and my ear pain has gone worse.

    That’s aweful but hopefully if you can take some time off a little rest will do wonders. Very bad flu bug going around where I am, I’ve been very lucky to avoid it.
