Dear Everyone:

Some new shots for you to view.



I am fascinated by young women

sporting hair that looks like they

dyed it with food colouring.

This young woman with the purple
hair chatted readily as to how she

achieved it.


Then there are two action shots.

In one the runner looks like

he is floating.


Finally, the petunias are

charming.


Enjoy.


Helen.

Dear Everyone:


Here are a few shots.


The girls posed for me

very enthusiastically.

The lovely labernum tree

caught my attention.
