Carol and I thank you for all your kind words!

The opening ceremony at the museum is November 15. I was invited but had to decline as we will be sitting in blinds in Texas hoping to get some more stellar captures. We do plan to make a museum tour when the cherry blossoms are blooming, and weather is good. It will be great to see my image on the wall and take a few images with me next to it.
