Thanks Cotty! Yes, it's sad to see DPReview close down. It is one of the services that I used regularly when seeking equipment specs. I don't spend much time looking at reviews, but Chris and Jordan do a good job there too. I thank them for their efforts, and wish them well in their next

Thanks, Ann! The last shot is of “The Bowl” in Clark Park. To make a long and complicated history short, Mill Creek used to flow through it on its way to the Schuylkill River, about a half-mile farther along. There were docks where barges were unloaded, and during the Civil War wounded

PESO: Snowdrop

2023-03-21 Thread Paul Stenquist
I had despaired of getting my snowdrop pic this year. The plants were buried in snow, and a tree fell atop them in the last storm. But the tree has been cleared and the snow melted, so I managed somewhat of a pic. Not my best snowdrop, but at least I keep my string of about twenty years alive.
