You must've gone bonkers trying to capture all the many photo ops around you, Pom! This place is ultra-cool!
My tired brain couldn't see anything psychologically intriguing in your image, but I love the combination of orange and blue. #10029851

Hi Everyone! I think Wm wins the ink blot test! I do believe indeed it is spring trying to break through the Calgary winter! :)))

Oh Mary! THIS PLACE!!!! THIS PLACE!!!! I had so much fun shooting inside if this place!!! Outdoors, too, and had there been less people around (eating at tables) I'd have gotten 50 MORE pictures in their garden. I guess I'd better share more soon so you guys can see this place?! :)

Thank you ALL for bringing me smiles, too, and for enjoying this image with me. Yes, Jeff! Your kind of place alright! A COFFEE SHOP! HA! Funny!

I really AM having a great time with all the possibilities of this software.

Thank you for your support!

YES TERRY! BEWARE! Lol...
