Still strong by maggiemae

Still strong

The stark stalk of the petal-less poppy took my eye and I attempted to put it with an appropriate background. This poppy has been seen before with closed wings.

Three good things:
1.Great coffee served as it should be with a glass of water at the Steam Cafe.
2.I made 14 day cole slaw using a dressing that is boiled with sugar and vinegar and added turmeric.
3.Don't get mosquitoes, wasps, or sandflies here.
Very artsy! I like it!

Nice alliteration there! I like the processing too- reminds me of the stylized painting that was popular in Early America. Very pretty!
