Very interesting mix of images: Jon made this card apparently using one of his taping methods that have helped turn me into a big fan of his work. The ground is a postcard of an Ansel Adams photograph at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona, but we see that photo only at the upper left and the bottom left and right corners. Jon contributed most of what is seen, and the mix is very interesting: a big economy-size pipe for Organ Pipe, a thick group of people who look to be carrying their worldly belongings, and "A Snowflake..."  The questions and associations the card raises will go on for a long time here, and visually the piece is excellent and beckoning. An invitation to ponder, but also appealing in and of itself. Thank you, Jon, very much. I love it.
