    Really beautiful shots! Love the redbud trees -- whatever their color or name, they're beautiful! And that's an interesting castle shot, too! Thanks for sharing!

    I think I lost my comment so here I go again. I think you made the most of what you were dealt with. The snap from Kentucky is very interesting. I'm curious about that state now.

    Thanks for sharing.
