Hi All,

I was thinking of changing the site name to mike-hope.net as I am no longer in Hermosa so technically not an hermosaman 🙂 So maybe Mike-Hope.net would be more appropriate…

Hi all,

We were down in San Jan Capistrano last weekend and I came across these water lilies in the Mission area.

Hope you like it and I’m working on some extended versions with a Latin/Cuban flavor.

 

The picture was taken in the colorful town of La Boca, Buenos Ares, Argentina outside of a Tango Cafe…

Thanks for taking a listen and if you like it share it 🙂
