Re: Photos from Pool session at Randolph High school 11/25/2

Very nice photos, Jordan and thank you, Bea for posting! Abby and I will look forward to one or more pool dates...likely in the new year. As the "new folks" will agree: practice, practice, practice.

Enjoy!

Thanks Norm for a lovely trip today.
Odd old abandoned building, rock monster and vultures were certainly a seasonal experience!
