Hi Pearl,you manage very well the sharpness of this pic also whitout the light of the sun,beatifuls colors and excellent point of view,my best compliments,have a nice day,LUCIANO

What a quaint term. Sounds a bit like something from Findhorn Garden in the British Isle where the group believes Divas and sprites are all around...another cute idea but these folks actually converse..I mean serious discourse...at least that is what they say...well presented Iris!
