From Donna:
Vacation’s over so it’s back to work for me (and Alan). Due to the 4th of July holiday, the July newsletter was a tad late. But it’s filled with luxury travel info. Did you see it? You can read it here.
An iPhoto tip I learned last week in Colorado: Use portrait mode on your phone for flower closeups. This blurs out the background to make the flower stand out. Thanks for the tip, Sue!
