I took the camera for a stroll around the neighborhood on this first day of Spring 2025.

(4,240 posts)I liked it and hated it all at the same time. Its a place with a lot of very entrepreneurial type people. But, its also very insular. Less in the city. An incredible theatre and arts community. I had a weird relationship with Lancaster.

You're welcome!

We're few weeks behind here, still having snow squalls passing through.  Some leave an inch or two.  Some pass through with the sun still shining.

(98,480 posts)I was up around 7,000 for about 15 years before I moved here. I'm in between the high country and the valley floor so I can see into the clouds as often as not.

(155,607 posts)Your photos are so damned good: sharp, clear, great colors and so on. Somehow you seem able to isolate them for incredibly effective photos!
I guess I just have to keep trying!
