For a different perspective & view, see Amazing Location of the Week in the Wild Cards below. From the Across the Pond Collection

Photo of the Week – Aug 21, 2023
Ozarks Sunset One of my favorite local sunset pictures. Date is unclear, but probably within a year or so of 2005.

Krazy Pic 1 Self-honesty is important!! This soul-searching could be most valuable! Krazy Pic 2 Neck pillows can be lifesavers during long flights! But one needs to be careful how one carries them!!
