Hi everyone. I've missed all of you. I've been getting back into photography after a break and have agreed to do a photo-a-day project. Here's the first week's efforts. Some are snagged in low-light conditions on my phone. I'm hoping to get out with my good camera more often, but that's not an option to carry every day.

Coming soon: Community gardens



Love




Pig heads at the local market




Cherries (They look disgusting, don't they?)







I Voted!




Dilapidated




Chestnut blossoms





That's it for this week. It was a bit hit or miss. Next week's photos already look more promising.
