Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Love this, Lorraine ... this wheel would be a great place to return to when there is a bit of snow on the ground (I know .... you don't want to think about that right now ... but tuck it away as a potential future shot) I think it would look cool as a B&W.

That wheel must have laid there forever, look at that wood. It has a lovely, almost 'spring' like quality to it, the flowers and vegetation look so fresh and delightful.
