You must have gotten up mighty early for this one.... I absolutely love it! These amazing lengthy shadows allowed you the freedom to draw yourself in as the subject in this composition is a heartwarming memory of your talent and passion. Why it makes me want to cry is a mystery.... I just know all thing will pass away so quickly, even these mighty High Sierra's. You are a gifted artist, John. But more importantly you are a gift to all those who are fortunate enough to know you. Like Mom said in her wall plaque, "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." So keep up you efforts. Much love, Lynda
