  1. I like them very much. My first thought at the topmost photo was New Mexico; then I thought it could be the Synagogue in East LA. OK, it was considerably older!

    More another time Joy! (texture, color, light, etc.?)

  2. Kitty already leaning over to scratch while looking at you and simultaneously still half inside the window grating. Love it.
    Love, Faye
