Responding to a question and several comments in one reply.
@EscondidoCal asked about my area of science. I'm a retired university professor. My area was physical chemistry.
@Lucius93 remarked that I had visited his home country of Croatia (from seeing photos of it on my smugmug site, I surmise). I loved it, have fond memories of that part of my trip, and highly recommend it to anyone contemplating visiting that part of the world, once the horrors of the global pandemic subside.
I appreciate, too, the shout outs about my smugmug site, with
@Fleur569 and
@EscondidoCal sharing the link. I wasn't sure anyone had even noticed the comment about it that appears at the bottom of my posts. It's not that I'm trying to promote it. I don't profit from it. I just enjoy sharing my photographic efforts with others.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words about this banner. I'm a huge fan of public gardens, and have missed being able to enjoy them in the usual way this past year, so I've appreciated even more the photos others share of their own gardens on this site.
