a live flower, and a geometric composition in blue and white. No bit of beauty is safe from your camera, and as usual, I needed that.

The whimsy of the painted cart, the random arrangement of Mother Nature’s creations, and the soaring majesty of the glass buildings - a visual feast.

How therapeutic to be able to get outside to enjoy all this.

What you said resonated with me. I saw the same things you did and that’s why I chose them to post.

I was sitting in the little cart when I looked up to see what was overhead. I was astonished to see those buildings looking so beautiful and dramatic. And then I took the picture.

Just about everybody I know who takes pictures already has a photo like that. And now I have one too.

Thanks for posting them here.

Looks like you’re getting “out ‘n’ about” more now. I’d guess that’s a sign of improving health.
