1. You do know that you made me walk in the NYC heat for a gyro

[alfredo]

2. I hope it was worth the trouble.

Their Baba Ganoush will make you swoon.

This photo was taken at the same place.

3. And how do you pronounce gyro?

Probably not apropos for this forum, but since you brought it up I say hero.

6. The v and q are silent.

7. Each one a self contained masterpiece to me. Through choices of color,

placement, and the story they tell. That's what photography is all about, and what I want to get a glimpse of in my own.
The added bonus photo is phenomenal, I agree with the Elfin.

8. Thanks. The guy in the first two was a man of good humor.

9. I find when you establish some rapport, linger, and have a camera

around your neck portraits happily happen

[alfredo]

10. It turns out he likes photography too.

11. Vetch

Vetch is used for erosion control. It also has some lovely flowers.

12. These are wonderful

Were is this eatery? I am always looking for someplace different to eat when I come to NYC. There are just too many choices.

13. This one is in Kentucky, A far cry from New York.

14. I know you like B&W

But the skin tone in the first photo is very good. And the flora colors are nicely done as well. You've also made wonderful use of light and shadows on a few of your photos. Nice ramble. You should do it more often.

[alfredo]

15. Thanks. It seems the Olympus does skin tones well.

16. the third one, the wonderful round flower with a song in it's heart

has now replaced your peony photo as my desktop background. Just sayin' I really like it.

[alfredo]

17. Thanks. I love the opening of flowers.

The 17th is the delivery date for my extension tubes. I can't wait. It's been over 40 years since I've used them.

18. Great!!! By my birthday a few days later there may be something new for my

laptop.
But honestly, I'm enjoying this one immensely. I won't let it go easily, and not for a good while.

19. Oooh, a new toy?
