Thank you 😊
Thanks very much
WOW 😮
Thanks 🙂
just gorgeous Sherry!!
I remember how much you have enjoyed this conference in the past, and am pleased you could participate virtually this year, Sherry. Your photo entries are wonderful, and a beautiful variety. My two favorites are the hermit thrush, with its foot suspended, and the swirling underwater composite from the Arboretum (right after the thrush). Fantastic work, congratulations.
Networking and outings will be curtailed. I know David Brommer will do his best to make this event rewarding and fun. I hope you check it out. You picked my favorites 🙂
I too liked the street with the petals.
Thanks.
That is a wonderful selection of photos. Very beautiful. I particularly like the street with petals. (Suzanne)
