Mr Li ( Sally's Dad ) Master Wu ( Sally's son ) alas no picture of her younger brother

Dear mate,

1st Jenny Roe

2nd:PICT0112. with good hiberarchy and sufficient colours.


Gerry to Sally

Can you clarify one word please " hiberarchy " as I can't find it in dictionary

Sally to Gerry

Dear mate,
I found that word in the dictionary.
eg.: Line hangings make the space hiberarchy.The designer use black mirror as the ceiling, which makes the space higher.
I want to say it gets many layers of sights.. It should be a very old word that Englishman don't use it, only me.

2nd Tony Lillot

3rd: DSCF5337a and PICT0113, the oil painting gets good far-sight look, but the closer sight was dealt not very carefully;

the watercolor one with good color arrangement to get prominent flowers, however the green color is not adjusted to the best look.
