These photo contests are very time-consuming, but everyone who participates, be it with an entry or viewing benefits.

Thanks again for all you do for the Photo Group!

My friend Dave has one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. The wide variety of flowers always amazes me. And it's so well cared for, it always looks perfect. I can imagine him and his husband sitting in these Adirondack chairs on a warm summer evening, sipping cocktails, and reading. What a perfect setting.

This was a scene in my daughter's living room. It reminded me of a Van Dyke painting. I actually ended up doing a painting of it, which turned out quite nicely!
