We will collect them and create a slide show to review during the meeting so we can tell the stories about the images and receive comments from fellow members. And we will not be limiting the subject of the images so they don't have to be strictly nature. So please send those images to Thomas Templeton: thomast28269@yahoo.comDeadline for submission will be Sunday, June 8th, 2025.Zoom Link for Meeting.https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85628341375?pwd=bkLHtl0r1X5QbkEO6NmG6qEieTv9th.1Meeting ID: 856 2834 1375Passcode: 319422
