Great day, good intentions, new friends, fab photography people, delicious lunch, and right now totally wiped out. More later....
3 hours later...
Nice nap. This is a town that is a challenge to walk in. There isn't a street that is flat, -they are all angled up, down, sideways. When one is accustomed to walking on Florida flatlands, this is indeed a workout that one didn't ask for. With that said -
It was a marvelous day for photography and meeting new friends. Enjoyed it tremendously. But I will not bore you with reading about it. Here are some of the photos that I took out of 351.

Thanks for your feedback!
And... FYI - I am not fond of competition in the arts, but sometimes it's necessary in order to get people motivated and working harder. For some, competition is a big deal.
But for me, I am not big into contests, competitions, etc. Every piece of artwork is neither right nor wrong, neither best nor worst. A photograph remember, is the scene as seen (oh that's cute) through the artist's eyes. It is not actual. It is a moment in time (Cartier-Bresson) that happens only in light and will never happen again. It is the reflection of light that the mind translates.
Sounds very esoteric I know, but it really is just that - an expression of the artist's ouvre.
So ENJOY and whatever your comments, they are all read, assimilated and appreciated.
I am finding that everyone who has commented so far has 'seen' something totally different
than what I saw or what others have seen.
Art is amazing that way, isn't it?
