Everyone on the bus.

Here is the gallery. Notice how much light. The photos are behind glass making taking photos of them difficult. I did get them all.

    A wonderful exhibit with lots of variety and great captures. The menu has me salivating, and it’s only 4:30 a.m. 😇

    This is a wonderful exhibit, John. Good job on the photos under difficult conditions.

    You have a lot of good choices today, but that Skillet roasted chicken breast looks pretty darn good. I like wild rice, pancetta, and even Brussels sprouts. Butternut squash sounds a little healthy, but I’ll put some mushroom gravy on that, too.

      Ha ha ha. Mushroom gravy can cover a lot of unpleasant veggies for sure. Thanks, Dan

    That’s an amazing gallery with amazing photos. We’ve been to Rough Creek Lodge many times and we’ve eaten at the restaurant many times. I’ll have the Skillet Roasted Chicken Breast but without the Brussels Sprouts.
