Jane! Thank you for showing up here with your wonderful whimsical work! Love Love Love to you! I’ve missed your postings.

Well, this dovetails nicely with Julie Dermansky’s photo essay.
Yes except now Julie’s photo essay is missing. Seems to happen a lot with photo essays of the reality of the oil spill a year later.
glad to see you are still doing so well. Some day we will meet again – and not in Majorca. Best,Ellie
Dear Jane,
Looks like I’m an Earth Day late and a diminishing dollar short! I missed your most recent post. Oh well, better late than never.
Like your fish and animal montage “says”, I’m gnashing my teeth about the crap-hole-of-an-environment we live in as well. If the world had only listened to the Native Americans—IF is a mighty friendless word.
Your old sandbox pal (who misses the hell out of talking with you.)
