Dear Anna
I did look at the pictures and some were spectacular, especially the Vase décor / Vasendekor (Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten). The details on that, and even the texture came through beautifully.

Cicada for me herald the end of summer. When hear them, I sense the years coming back and fading into each other.

Be well, be peaceful.

Affectionately,
Your New York friend,
AG
