Obviously a good time of the year for you and the bunch. I really enjoy your galleries. Public places like that are fast becoming a thing of the past out here. The new generation in charge have no appreciation for that sort of thing in public places - to them it is just a pointless chore.

I like the two flower closeups and the third building shot the most...  560 20th st  - way more interesting than the other two and better geometry as well for my taste. ann On 5/11/2022 11:04 AM, Rick Womer wrote: I’m taking a photo course at the Fleisher Art Memorial titled “The Urban

Thanks, Alan and Henk! The first is my favorite, by far. The second is simply a closer crop of the first, to better show the patterns and colors of the insect. The third was just for fun; it took off just as I pressed the shutter button. Not a pleasing image. but it conveys the event in a
