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. --Dick Estel, October 2013; updated January 2017 |
