This work has reached the exceptional level

This was fantastic. Loved that magic mushroom (smile). Loved comparing the mushroom to "unexpected blessings."

Excellent imagery, visuals and artistic presentation.

Good luck in the contest.

You say all that is needed in simple words - love it! I like how well you have chosen the picture which both suits the word "showered" and shows some little beautiful miracles of the world :) It's the little things that make our lives happy!

    Hi. Thank you so much. I was driving on the edge of TS Elsa yesterday and the rain pelted my windshield and I thought it looked jagged? hence the inspiration. :). Thanks again.

I'm feeling sorry for the delivery person I ordered food from as it's pouring out tonight and unlike the snail, I don't see them hiding under mushrooms (at least I have a porch). Great work on this piece, good luck in the contest. Later daze.

    Thanks so very much, Rigatoon, I am so glad you like it. I can spell Rigatoon and cannot even begin to pronounce your given handle. LOL.

A lovely thought, We should stop and remember those little things that can mean so much. "Showered" is an excellent word to use. Sometimes showers can come unexpectedly, and they can be a pleasant relief after heat and dry spells. If we've been having a difficult day, it's great to be "showered" with some unexpected kindness. Best of luck in the contest. judi
