Oh, you betcha! While the nature photographer in me really appreciated the Monarch cover, and congratulations for that (!) I was more deeply drawn to the river image. Something fundamental working there, I think. I once had a grandma, about which my mother used to say, take her on a Sunday drive in the country, and Grandma could pass the dirtiest river, or weed-choked creek, and rave about how beautiful it was! There was no such thing as a mediochre body of water - to her... Must be in the genes...
