Potpourri

A combination of incongruous elements ... definitely a potpourri, this gallery.
These are photos I liked but haven't placed into other galleries yet, most taken with
the Canon Elph s410, recently joined by the more adroit but not-purseable Rebel XT.

Just love the richness of the colors here. The peace plaques are deeply appealing for their warmth and clarity.
