dolllady aka Pam says:Mary, this pick is superb! With the unbearable summer we have had across the country this year, it makes me wonder if it will become the new normal as many are predicting. If so we need to stock up on picks picks like this as a gorgeous reminder of the ” olden days” of earth.

Mary - Sweet Chick says:Thanks Pam. Would you believe the first title I gave this was “Oppressive”….referring to the terrible heat wave. But as this pick formed it looked more like Earth, viewed from above.
I do hope you are getting a break from the heat. It’s been so dangerous. Gratefully, we have cooler weather this week.

anafiassa says:Absolutely gorgeous… and, reading your comment about how your first title was “oppressive,” I’m truly impressed by how you took something overbearing and heavy and turned it into something just lovely. Beautiful collection.
