Third Place to Mz Pip with
Tangled

My choice as hostess goes to the wonderfully balanced rendition of
Garlic. I can really hear the rustling of those outer dry leaves.

This was a fun contest - I thank all who submitted photos and participated.

TAKE IT AWAY, ALFREDO.
My hearty congratulations to you for the spectacular and scary Three Graces.

A theme for Dec popped into my head: inside looking out. I will probably forget it by the time the contest rolls around. Should I announce now, or wait?
