Today I celebrated the completion of my fourth year as a PaDer with old and new friends at a photo retrospective in Poway Park. Here I am celebrating with Audra Baecker (r) who is a sometime Padder and Corinne Woods (l) who is both an artist and photographer.
Below: The whole event was surpervised by Dan who you all know. Our hostess Patti Bean is a skilled photographer. I plan to take a couple of portraiture lessons from her.
I also want to give a shout out to Linda Alstead who hung up her pixels yesterday after five years of Padding. She is the longest Padder on Pbase with no break in continuity. She and her partner David Mingay are the Martha and George Washington of Padding. Thank you for your leadership!

I intend to continue into my fifth year starting tomorrow (Sunday).
