It's great when we all have beautiful things to look at. Your Spring will eventually get here, just as mine did.

It's reflecting your beautiful heart back at you California Peggy. For some reason I thought of you this morning as well as George McGovern. When I think of you I see Senator Warren in my mind. I think that is fitting.

Getting compared to Senator Warren is amazing! She's a lot smarter and driven than I am. I respect her enormously. Very kind of you.

I think the color varies depending on what the chickens are fed. But I'm not sure! I haven't seen that particular color before. I never know what I'm going to see at this venue!

First one - a tribute to donors?

Second one - another pin point focus - way cool.

Finally, "every other egg" is hilarious.

It's a very large mural which honors the people who have supported our local schools. I think tribute is a good way to see it.

I think the second one is my favorite! I was very careful not to get too close. And I didn't!

I agree; the egg photo is a fun one. I also bought some.

I thought the flowers were especially lovely today. And I have to say I was really hoping the little blossom would turn out--and it did!

Every one is interesting, beautiful composition, color, and clarity.

The 2nd and the 5th from the top, especially.

Somehow, my photos are getting better, bit by bit, and I'm not sure why. But I like it!

The two you pointed out are my absolute favs in this group. Esp. the cherry blossom! I did play with the F-stop to narrow the depth of field, and it did what I wanted: a beautiful flower with the fantastic blurry background!

Your photo shows "The Seeds of Knowledge Community Recognition Mural" in Manhattan Beach.

This link leads to a website by the mural's creator:
https://betsykschulz.com/the-seeds-of-knowledge-community-recognition-mural/
At the site you can click on the first photo and then each one afterwards. Or wait for
a slide-show of the same. It's a fascinating work of art.

I love that first photo too. And I haven't taken many shots of it, so I decided to make it part of the group. I was quite pleased with how it turned out.

I always enjoy your photographs so much. I think you have such a good eye and a real talent for photography.

Thank you, once again, for sharing your photos with us. It's almost as good as it must be to be there in person!

Spring is here in every way except according to the calendar! It's a beautiful time of year.

Getting out to this market makes me happy. I love capturing the beauty.

We were up in Normandy for the end of Feb. Fruit trees were blooming and the daffodils were in flower. Seems early.
