update september 2020 ...
decided that, after five-and-a-half years on this fabulous site, I should say a little more about myself than the two sentences...
@pistache I'm not kidding...I think this would be stunning blown up. I've been trying to figure out how to take a similar shot! (I'll have to write "inspired by Clare" on the back.) :-)
thank you so much lovely people for all the comments and favs - much appreciated :)
