Beautiful quote at the beginning of the post. I really like the summer photo, the light doesn’t make it look too harsh.
Thanks Tasneem
Great illustrative photos, Pat. The bluebonnets are lovely, the desert majestic, the Cumbes Pass looks almost like a Monet, and who would have guessed Chicago could be a Durer? LOL
Thanks Sam
Interesting that Winter is a city window view, deliberate choice? Are you a summer bunny Pat? 🙂
Nope. I like winter, and was a skier until recently. I was just looking for a variety of photos and a variety of places for the challenge.
Beautiful Captures – Happy Saturday:)
Very nicely done Pat! I loved all of the photographs…especially the Tuscon desert!
Beautifully done, Pat. 🙂
