I’m back from our Bayram break – with dozens of images and impressions to share. I’ll start with the pictures while I organize the thoughts. The processing could take some days!

Thanks for the photos! You need to add “photographer” to your list of skills. As always, I love to read your posts. You make Turkey seem not too far away. Hope to get there someday!

Thanks, Judy – but I wonder if real photographers really on the editing process as much as I do? Be sure to put Turkey on that bucket list!
