This picture is from backup/Old My Pictures/County Fair 2004 Apparently I must have entered this picture of Karma in the Boone County Fair. This must have been the year before the “Moldy Jam Incident”. Next week’s folder is: backup/Old My Pictures/County Farm
Not many submissions for MARKET. I have to confess that MARKET was one of the themes that was under consideration for termination. In the end we kept it because my MARKET picture from last year might have been my favorite RWPE picture from last year. Here are this year’s submissions… Read More »RWPE Y2 #8 – Market
