Jackie, thanks for the challenge. For your challenge, how about going for a two-fer and entering a photo in the current ICM challenge which has the theme of Water. So far there are only two entries, neither of which depict water. Let me know if, for any reason, that won't work. https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/49508/time-for-icm-4
The pink really pops on the black background. Sweet peas are such nice little flowers. They remind me of my mother's garden. She had them growing up a trellis under the kitchen window.
So glad you did not have any furball gifts on your return
