Here are the rules again, as well as answers to most questions. If you have a question that is not listed, please post a comment below or on Facebook, or email fcap.mo@gmail.com.

Hermann Photowalk

For the FCAP birthday, we had a little photowalk in Hermann, Missouri.

It. was. cold.

After an hour of traipsing the streets, I couldn't feel my toes anymore. But that's alright - we had a blast.

The whole photowalk group, minus me.

Chet brought his speedlight and grabbed this cool shot.

Gussie spied this pretty blossom.

Nancy followed the lines for this great capture.

Fences and red buildings always call to me.

Barb found some great textures.

Jacquie caught the sun during its brief peek to see what we were up to.

Michelle was window shopping!

We ended our walk with some yummy food and a few prizes. And, birthday cupcakes, of course.

Thank you to everyone who came - we'll be doing it again soon!
