@ Jacomina:  I saw the cat tail in your gallery, and am happy to see it here as well!  I'll be doing that this month too, since I'm happy enough with some of what I got to put it out "in public."  :)  And I knew the melon right away ... how fun!  :)

@ Henk:  I LOVE that red ball of string!  Terrific texture.

@ Ronnie:  That's some pretty detailed macro stuff, my friend!  You're finding marvellous textures in tiny places.
