Thanks, Mark! Yes, indeed, there is a Comfort Inn next door; I just checked on google maps. Funny story about your stay there!
As to Photo Doodles, the writer and the artist have their journal to doodle in, but the photographer doesn't really have the same type of thing. They can print, of course, and paste the prints in a journal--and, indeed, I have done that in the past. But I'm thinking like you of doing something digitally--called Photo Doodles--a blog or something, that would be private only for me. Great minds think alike, aye? :-) Cheers, Christine On Apr 21, 2012, at 2:51 PM, Mark C wrote: > Nice shots - the tulips have a great color tone, almost unearthly. > > I htink I stayed in a hotel next to the Tokyo Hotel - is there a Comfort Inn > or something like that next to it?
