    This is spectacular, Princess MD. Well done on the whole thing but love the drop/dappled and map/dappled sounds. Beautiful.

    Beautiful. I will be searching for 'maps' during my nature walks - an artistic perspective.

    It's obvious, but I really like the map/dap combo here. The imagery is great in this one Mackenzie! The trees and snow contrast is a goodie😊
