***** Friends please note that I do not belong to, nor will I accept invitations to join, groups that demand that each posting is accompanied by awards and/or comments. No big deal. I just believe that these things should be voluntary.

I have a good group of Flickr friends and I am just happy for them to share my postings, and to comment where they feel it is justified. *****

Strongly commend my son-in-law's photostream to my Flickr friends. See www.flickr.com/photos/stevpas68/
