[@SimplyMarshmallow18]

These must be worth a fortune. The insane detail and realism and the amount of time you must spend on each one. Not to mention all the resources including power. Unfortunately I doubt that enough people care enough to buy such a beautiful piece of art. I would buy so many if I could afford it.

[@BrentMB79]

Always a pleasure to see your work Mike! Your videos help me decompress after a stressful day. Thanks for sharing your content.

[@RJ-wl2ws]

Thank you for another video. It is greatly appreciated. As a self employed carpenter, life is always busy, especially this time of year. And like yourself, I have a love for the outdoors and not a day goes by that I don't yearn to be in the mountains. Your videos let me slow down, at least for a moment, and take a break in your mountains. Thank you again.

[@Afrikitty]

Hi there, Mike, It's been a few days since you made this video and I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, but I have started with my favourite hobby again (Cross Stitching) and it takes up a lot of my time, so I don't spend as much time on KZbin anymore. So, going through my notifications, I saw this video of yours and dropped everything to come and watch it. It was short and sweet and very to the point. Pearl is such a little lap-dog. I loved the walk you took in the mountain at the end of the video. Spring it such a beautiful time of the year. I loved your cane. I was surprised at some of the colours you used...like blue, for instance....it was so beautiful when it was finished. Thank you for putting it on video for us to see. We have also had some crazy weather these last two months in Saint Louis. Hot, hot weather in April and May and now I am just waiting for the humidity to hit us in July and August. I hope it flies by. Well, you take care now and I hope we will see you again soon. Warm hugs and love to you. Liz. xo

[@StinnettSticks]

I'm glad you've taken up your cross stitching hobby again, Liz! It's nice to have something enjoyable and creative to do while we occupy our time on this planet.Thanks for your kind words on the video. It really is a beautiful time of year. I hope you have good weather this summer and low humidity. Take care, Liz. I'll see you on the next one!
