There are so many wonderful images, it is impossible to choose, but...
Here's one of many hundreds of photographs that Rich is taking now in his travels through Turkiye.
I felt that this one was taken for my benefit - it is a datura plant (jimson weed) such as we have prospering in lush abundance here in New Mexico. One in particular threatens to take over my entire patio, and I have to fend it off with the clippers.
It was astonishing to see that Turkey has much the same vegetation as we do here - it all looks very comfortable and familiar, despite the exotic locale - it feels like home.
