I am glad everytime I hear from you, Ruth :).
                   
I also understand your artistic struggles very well. There are many years that I feel unmotivated artistically and on such times, it is hard for me to maintain my online presence.      
                     
It is good that your muse might be returning and I hope to see more beauty coming from you, but if it doesn't, I wish that you would put no pressure on yourself.      
                     
Thank you for showing us the beautiful photos, and send my hug to your furry companion ^_^.
