pinkStardust: My search for time and space

Hello.  As we celebrate Earth Day today I am posting some images of dirt, of water and of mud.  Or more specifically, of works made with dirt and water and mud. Thank you for visiting and thank you for keeping Gia in our upmost thoughts, in our hearts -  and to keep us working to make her well again.
