Thanks again for all your wonderful photos, I've visited most of those places, and it's terrific to see them again, in such marvelous shots!!

I share your vision!
Wonderful photographs Lisa! You have travelled to many of the same places I have and you have captured some truly beautiful images of those places. You have also given me ideas for some more trips that I need to take. Truly, everywhere one travels there are artistic photos to be made - you just need the eyes to see - and you have that eye. Great work. Dave Hodge

thanks for your good photos, Lisa! I live in AZ so always love to see photos of it. TheEnglish mayor of London spent thousands of pounds, getting rid of the pigeons at Trafalgar Square - I wrote him about our American birth control pill for pigeons, but got no response! It would have saved him and the English, lots of pounds!!
