Thank you for the sermon Reverand Don of the Church of the Histogram. Us sinners need to be reminded at times.
Hi SINBAD'S DAD (JOHN) -- Amen to that, brother...
Excellent.
Love the Yarrow, under or over exposed it looks great to me.
As usual, amazing captures of you. The sky looks like a painting. :D
