Faithosaurus your picture is very impressive and picture of Basil is just monumental, both are beautiful.
Thank you Quimmi! I watched both of links you sent and loved the lessons of Cheap Joe. Inspired I already painted some pictures, I mean practised. Can't wait for you to post some of your pictures. I found two artist I liked very much Joseph Zbukovic and Dusan Djukaric. I am curious if you like them also.

Nice pictures Themis. I liked Vienna.
Beautiful pictures Themis.
Here are some signs of spring.
That's so pretty. We're in melting season in Canada, it's disgusting and muddy.

Oh really! Thanks Gilliatt.
A few pics from a recent cruise through the Western Carribean:

Superb pictures Gilliatt. The roses are great Snowqueen.
I'm off to the allotment tomorrow. I should have some good pictures of... mud.
Nice pictures at Coba. The last time I was there they had stopped excavating because they ran out of money. I remember they had started refurbishing the front side of one pyramid but the back side was left untouched. (I yanked a small piece of rock off the backside - it's one of my favorite possessions.)

Thanks for taking a look Paul.
Thanks.
Based on your comments, I'd say no further progress has bee accomplished. Three sides of the Pyramid remain coverd with soil and vegetation and we passed a few mounds along the trail that have not been restored either. Still, there were quite a few structures that have been restored that made the trek well worth the effort.

I'm glad you liked CheapJoe's lesson, Olga. And everyone's pictures are wonderful. Snowqueen, very Georgia O'Keefe of you. Themis, I would just love to visit Austria again. It is such a beautiful country. And Gilliatt, I guess your feelin' pretty good after getting out of Illinois, or wherever it was you were banished to for the winter. I am jealous. Montego Bay. Sigh.
