Thanks Karen for posting this URL - I had lost any previous messages that had this link.
What fun I had looking at the photos! If you havenât tried the link yet - they are high definition photos. Click on the photo so that it fills the page, and then you can zoom in so close you can see the fuzzies on the thread! You can also zoom out so itâs just a little tiny thing but I donât understand the value of that feature.
