I'll have to see if I can use that on the Amazon.com site for my book. Thanks for the link, as well—and I'm glad I could be an encouragement. Thanks for the comparison to Annie Dillard.

You have a gift. It makes me want to see Queensland for myself. And when I get there, it'll help me see everything more thoroughly. God has used you, Cynthia, to feed my spirit. Thanks.

The drought always seemed to have broken just before I arrived. Maybe they should hire me to visit more often!

Same colors! I've always wanted to travel to Australia. Hope I'll manage some day. I've heard there is a terrible long-term drought there. Is this something you noticed in your recent travels?
