Your art work is simply oustanding. How sorry I'am to have missed all those super illustrations, I've had a good look at them & I'am amazed by the beauty of them all.

Cheers ROD.

Sylph living peaceful life together with the Great Bear.. One flower and leaf for both of them. Aah, great to see your images again, Sam. Love this. :loveme:

No, Sam. Scorpius is not so familiar to me. I didnt expect to find the beast below the Bear.

At this time of year the Bear is high in the north or directly overhead in England, if you follow him to the south the 'sting' of scorpius will be found.
Scorpius is a southerly Zodiac sign and his sting is the only part of him you can see from England, you would have to go to the southern hemisphere to see all of him
So this a a repersentation of North and South. Thanks Aki:t::t::t:

Jamie---your so clever:t:
