Starting over in 2016

Dec 31, 2015 - It has been awhile since I posted any of the incidents I photographed.  Changes in life and in social medias made this difficult for me, but in 2016, as things seemed to settle down, I'm going to start posting again.   I will post new and old photos to try and catch up.  In the new year I hope to bring some great photos for your enjoyment.  Happy New Year!
