Dear Maurice
Another sensational issue, love the color scheme and cover photo! Palm trees reminded me of time I spent in California, and also recent trip to Florida my family took for a wedding, great time of year indeed! Website looks amazing, particularly loved the cherry blossoms, spring in the air for certain...Such a wealth of new talent welcomed into May/June edition, fantastic to watch Creative Inspirations continuing to expand and grow in impressive and meaningful ways!
The final photo with the leaves, long shadow of bush stretching out, projected was just outstanding, a very evocative and intriguing image...Thank you again for sharing wonderful opportunities for publishing along with stunning content, CI is such a treasured resource of rich material and helpful information! -Jerome B.
