I tried to post these a few days ago. There was a snag. I got a new
phone after we came back from the U.K., because several apps I use
regularly no longer worked on the old hardware. (I use 'em until they
rot). Well, the new phone evidently reset some of my preferences to the
way Apple wants them to be, rather than how I want them to be. One of
those settings turned on the feature that shows a preview of any picture
I email. Which was a no-no on all my photo groups, which strip out any
HTML. I am on my PC now, so you should receive this properly. Please
let me know if you have any problem.
First, a domestic backyard scene.

(taken with my old iPad camera, because that was what was in my hand at
the time).
We had a bit of an "Indian Summer." It was nice to sit outside in the
backyard. I'm sure it helped me get over pneumonia. Photo by Katya, on
her cell phone.

Now, some more England photos. Here is an ancient Greek tomb that the
British stole--er, preserved and exhibited in the British museum. The
pattern intrigued me. This is also a cell phone photo, because *someone*
forgot to charge his second camera battery the night before.

Now, Stonehenge. We must have offended the Druid divinities, because
just as we reached the site (a 10 minute walk), it poured. My Gore-Tex
parka kept my head and core dry, but my trouser legs got soaked. Despite
that, I did my duty and took photos, trying to do something besides a
tourist record shot.

The locals seemed amused by us. They were properly dressed for the weather.

Olympus EM-1 Mk II and Panasonic 14-45 f/3.5-5.6 slow zoom. All I took
on this trip was this lens, and a 20/1.7.
Enjoy!
