Great Pictures John, I especially liked the Howard Museum shot.

Thanks . . .
That Howard County Museum photo was "commissioned" (ummmm, directed ??) by my other half. I blew it the year before when I made a nearly identical architectural shot of the museum later in the Spring; *after* the daffodils had blossomed and disappeared. ["Nice photograph, but *where* are the daffodils?"]

This year, there were no end of "hints" about how the daffodils at the museum had just blossomed, until I was loading all the camera gear into the car on the following Sunday morning. The trick is shooting them before a hard spring rain (it can flatten them), and they don't remain in bloom very long (about two weeks).

Lesson:
It pays to occasionally shoot subject material the other half wants; greatly reduces the "background noise" about the Zuikoholism. (The floral macros and the spider web shots are specifically for her also.)
