Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it

If you keep showing me all these beautiful images of the big city I just might change my mind about cities. Incredible colors!

@willow: LOL funnily enough I enjoy seeing the sights of the city on my walks but would be happy if I won the lotto and could retire to a small country town somewhere away from big cities
