Thank you Loraine. 🙂
You know what’s funny about this? I can tell from the quality of the photos, which ones were taken more recently and with newer technology. It’s amazing how much that improves our jobs of shooting on the fly, eh? And your expertise in shooting has changed too! It’s great that you can write AND photograph so you don’t have to subcontract anymore! More power to ya! These are great stock shots too, right?
Thank you.
That is a serious collection of refreshing adult beverages! Now I’m thirsty. Good thing it’s Friday 🙂
Good regional food and drink are one of my favorite parts of the travel experience!
