Tom, I want to thank you very much for posting all of your photos.  You have always had a good eye for what would make the best shot.  I haven't been able to get up to the Spa for the past several seasons and have missed the journey very much.  Your photos brought back some wonderful memories.

Thank you for the great pictures!
Acacia makes my heart melt.❤️😁

Thank you for the kind words Jolyan. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully you can do it in person next year.

Thanks Dell. I knew I had to get a shot of your heartthrob, sorry it wasn't a close-up.

Great pictures Tom! One question - did the fox say anything?

Why yes, it did...
