Welcome, Stable Flies!
The heights by great men reached and kept ~ Were not attained by sudden flight ~ But they, while their companions slept ~ Were toiling upward in the night.

Beautiful!
Especially the eyes.
You sure have a way with a camera. What are you using?

Thanks, Hilinda and Lori. :-) I just use a basic, digital point-and-shoot -- a Kodak EasyShare Z700.
