Jim — Jim needed a new portrait to accompany his latest gallery exhibits. I would have preferred to take his picture in the workshop, but time was of the essence, and Jim and Carol were in Springfield for the day.

Making plans — I grabbed this candid shot of Lanie while we were taking a rest in the shade outside the butterfly house at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. Unfortunately, the butterfly house was closed for renovation.
Making plans — Lanie and her bf Lewis joined us for our ‘mini-break.’ We took a few minutes before we left the hotel to decide what to do with our day. 2

Eclectic Decor, Graduate Hotel, Fayetteville — The theme is upmarket seventies/eighties student accommodation, but clean and tidy!

After the concert — We were in Fayetteville for a Chris Thile concert. We enjoyed seeing him at the Kauffman Center, Kansas City in February, and booked tickets when we saw he was going to be in Fayetteville.

Old and new — The older building in the foreground appears more substantial and has much better proportions than the newer building in the background. The latter looks insubstantial, flimsy, and ill proportioned.
Fayetteville Square, Arkansas — Our hotel room wasn’t ready, so we went for a look around the square. We bought coffee and cake to while away the time as we sat and enjoyed the view.
