flyby

I've been here for sometime..almost from the very beginning when Brian came up with this Picture a Day idea. I jumped at it with great enthusiasm and started snapping away. I took pictures everywhere and met a fantastic group of individuals along the way..my fellow Paders.

Each of you has enriched me personally and contributed to improving my ability, in some way, to be a better picture taker/photographer. It's been time well spent. I will miss those of you I've come to know here...

Once a thriving community of over 10,000, it now is left preserved as a State Park. Not a tourist attraction, but simply preserved houses and businesses...meaning not restored or even open..just preserved as they were back when. Pic below is of one of the homes:

Perhaps too magenta..although LR showed little in that direction on slider. Redo

Just got back from two weeks of camping on Rock Creek in the Eastern Sierra Mtn's. Although, June we enjoyed snow and freezing temps at night to awake to the beauty of spring just coming to the mtn's. The pic below is just across from our campsite.

Today at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery. Veteran visiting grave site emotionally moved. Poignant scene of what this American Holiday is all about.
