Apologies for the delay in sharing yesterday’s 365 pic. I went on a photowalk with the North Texas Photography Explorers MeetUp Group to the City of Dallas’s annual City Lights opening night. A few photos from the festivities, as well as a rant about ‘not even #@%*%&@ Thanksgiving yet’ to follow, though I didn’t get much that …
