We have many scheduled outings for this year. This month was meeting last Saturday in downtown Reno at the whale to get some street photography. There were 6 of us that took advantage of the beautiful day, Rob, MaryLou, Trent, Don, Beth B and Shellie. I love how we are all in the same place but get completely different pictures! I have listed the names with each picture. The others are random pics I took of us having fun!
