I was almost sure I wrote already a comment here... and tonight, as end of the month is approaching, I come back here to read the entire thread and... find no trace of a post from me...
So, Maria I have to sincerely apologize and send you now very late my warm congratulations for this highly deserved recognition of your photographic talent !
I really enjoy looking at a lot of pictures in your gallery
Big hugs, Maria !
