Sigh. Already so many excellent choices, and I know I don’t have anything worth submitting, so I’ll wait to see what this month’s winner picks for the next subject. So it goes. Now, if you wanted portrait shots of cats or horses… ---

As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew what photo I wanted to post. Taken on a Spring Break road trip in 1985, I’ve had this photo pinned up in my cubicle at work for the last 30 years (which explains why it is so faded and beat up…) ---
