Hello, all, and thank you for your encouraging and flattering comments on my red-ribbon entry, Round. I appreciate the supportive and generous nature of this community!
I wanted to let everyone know that I owe great thanks to my husband, Magnetic9999, for his idea for this photo. It was his idea to photograph the Jefferson Memorial, and without his prompting, I never would have even thought to go there. So while my photo earned second prize, I feel it was a joint effort, and any praise or congratulations should be passed on to Magnetic, too.
