Before anything else, a big big hug 
to my loyal friends and watchers that still visit my site, and --as usual-- I apologize for my lack of response. I am reasonably OK, only just indulging in laziness.
A few news from this end, to start with, I renewed my "core membership" for at least 3 months. Funny, I wasn't visiting as often as I've had some "eons" back, and don't know why I decided to visit today –May 15-- great timing too! I had 3 days left of my subscription ! Wow 
!
About time I suppose ? and to commemorate such occasion a few sweet animations from my "idol" KmyGraphic . BTW there are many more animations included in this Journal not all are from Camelia but they all have their respective credits by just browsing over the images.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if we had not invented painting or drawing. I so love colour and beautiful images ! 
In that case we would still have nature to delight us ... I imagine? :thumb741175254: ... (while we have not yet finished destroying it)
...
I said a few so don't get too excited 
.
I miss not doing much in dA (much ? try nothing at all ! 
) , like doing fractals, participating in contests, challenges, etc. Nobody's fault but mine of course, laziness or sadness whatever.
So one of the ideas I got is to revisit the requirements posted by sragets (a.k.a. Stan Ragets ) for that fabulous idea of his, back in the 2010 - ApoChallenges ! OMG 8 years since then ? 
Since I am some sort of "pack rat" of course I kept all of my entries with the respective parameters and the requirements stated by Stan. So the idea would be to see what I can come up with now. Hope that the Apo7X would cooperate, as was having some problems with it. Let's see what happens 
The other would be to post here in this Journal a Feature with at least a few of the zillion beautiful images I have in my watch "Stacks", there are some 150 of them to be viewed ! 
So to that end I am posting below a few I've collected so far, only one per each stack as I want to be able to post a few here on this Journal. And will keep collecting more to be posted hopefully (?) in a June Journal !
Please use the bar to the right to browse to the end of the feature - Thank you !

for Watching 
While browsing some of the many Journals to read from my friends 
I bumped into a marvelous version of one of my favourite traditional songs, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".
Arranged by "The Parody Project" Founded by Don Caron and Greg Gower (I think that Don Caron IS "the choir" 
) BTW I failed to mention earlier that I first found the link in the latest Journal by davincipoppalag
Maybe many of you know them, to me it was a fabulous experience, for the content -i.e. new lyrics- and the singing. So I decided I had to share it and hope you will be able to appreciate it like I did.
