In my
collection of photos, there are some worth seeing again and sharing,
but they don't fit into any of my existing photo albums. Every once in
a while, on my morning walk, I take my camera, and one day I
collected several photos that seemed to fit this description. This
inspired me to create this new photo album, which also includes some
picture that go back a
number of years. Of course, new photos are added from time to time.
