Holly, 1969

Hi Deborah, these are very nice! I wish I had been this savvy with taking photos at age 15! Apologies, by the way, to you and Rick for repeating the "back to camera" theme from January. I only realized yesterday evening that I had done that. 8(

I agree completely with Deborah’s reply, Alan.

Alan - I think a slip up is pretty understandable in over ten years of overseeing the themes!
Definitely no need to apologize. You get endless thanks and gratitude from me for selecting, creating and posting the monthly themes - and I’m sure I speak for Rick, too!

Love this. It has an artful composition and great color tone and feels like it has a story to tell.

And what a wonderful photo to have of yourself also!

Thank you, Laura! I must admit I do feel rather proud of my 15 year old “eye”.
When I look at the photo of me, I mostly think that I would be sad to see photos of the same beach now - probably given over to very expensive condos with private ocean access. I’d like to think I'm wrong.
