Member Photo Share Theme: Summertime Blues
From Bill Galloway: “”In our modern Texas, July means that summer is upon us. And that means heat, and blue, cloudless skies. But there are lots of other things to be found in summertime that are also blue: flowers, lakes/oceans/swimming pools, parades, and birds come to mind. The only guideposts: there’s some blue and it was shot in the summertime.”
