  3. Wonderful images as usual CJ..and a great companion to April’s post by the way! I am loving how you pick themes for you photos. Combining aural with visual here us really quite powerful. Gives both the imagery and the music another dimension.

  11. Beautiful pics! They reminded of a ballerina music box I won in my 15th birthday, I keep it as a treasure. I’ve never had the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument, I wish I had been more persistent, but my son learned how to play flute, I’m so happy I pushed him to do it. He plays beautifully.

      1. 🤣 Good to hear!
        I’m doing okay. Slowly coming back. These last few months have been like climbing Everest with no gear. But I learnt a lot.
        I’ll be around a little every day now.
        💜💜💜
