I am having blogging problems, so haven't been around much (and cross when I do get here), but I have to comment on this last print!! There are several layers to it, and I find it really intriguing!!
I am so familiar with the original settlers of North America, and I am finding the differences between them and the Aborigines of Australia fascinating!!
