My personal favorite is "Walk in the Sunshine." I love the classic simplicity of this one, though all of them are lovely.

But that's my take on it.

Thanks for stating your preference. I like it, too. A long time ago you had a bird photo in a contest with a great shadow, I remember loving that photograph. I hope you remember.

It's one of my big favorites too. Really, a miracle photo.

Thanks for making me smile tonight...

I wonder if Henry Faulkner's Key West house is still standing. He was a friend of Hemingway and lover of Tennessee Williams. His house was overrun by cats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Faulkner He loved singing Opera.

Henry on the right, Williams on the left.


I remember the night he was killed by a drunk hit and run driver. He was on his way to a Halloween party. The driver got away with a slap on the wrist. The judge was a jerk.

A good photo can lead a person in many directions.

first choice as it with the song made me laugh out loud for real because it fit so perfectly with that song. Catch me if you can would be my second choice partly because as a photo it is perfect. Love the others too but it is rare that a song/photo combo makes me laugh out loud.
