G'day all
Another great gallery, with more Spring offerings than Autumn. A nice
range of Spring flowers - I especially liked Mark's Trillium and
Ken's Bleeding Heart and I really like Dan's Heart of the Bloom,
but I think my overall favourite this month is Matt's Autumn Morning
with
Only two photos in my faves set for april:

We're now ensconced at the Hilton Paddington. Quite nice and you'd never
know you were atop a bustling railway station. It appears tonight's
meeting of the Baker Street Highly Irregulars will be only slightly
irregular as Cotty can't make it. I shall force myself to drink his
pints myself.
A colorful and thoroughly enjoyable gallery!
They are all superior images, but my particular favorites are:
Rick Womer's Sidewalk Spring -- interesting, well composed, pleasing
to the eye and totally unexpected!
Jan van Wijk's Spring Below the Sea -- The colors are very well
rendered,
Both images are simply stunning. Excellent work as always.
