Hello, Mike Fay!
Splendid art and photos, as per usual.
Is that scarf to protect against bugs only, or dust? And if dust, why not cover your nose? Just curious.
simply beautiful work....
These are amazing. I mean who else can get you thinking about how interesting a rock wall is? Brings up some interesting concepts.
I'm still laughing at the incongruity my mind was struck with in the picture of the Afghan gardener tending flowers - the beauty of the color and the lushness had me thinking of an English Garden, or at least one of your Old Dominion homesteads. And here's a character out of the Arabian Nights, smack dab in the middle of it all. It still doesn't jibe. What an education you're providing!
As always, thanks, and bless you.
Great stuff, Mike!
Wonderful pictures and drawings! They prove once again that old cliche about a picture and "a thousand words."
Thank you for sharing them with us.

having served with MDFay many years ago it is fitting, proper and a benefit to the Corps, to have in back doing the work he loves:
(1) Serving his country
(2) Being an Artist
I'm proud of ya - Mike - keep up the good work!
