JUNE 12—THE GOLDEN SON SHILPI SOMAYA GOWDA
CONTACT: KEN KOEHLER 705-766-9936 [email protected]
The next session of the Probus Photo Group will be on the theme "Springtime Colours!", and will be held at 2:00 pm on June 16. Ken and Barb will be hosting at their Huntsville Condo -- 35 Dairy Lane, Suite 101.
In Muskoka we tend to think of autumn as the most colourful time of our year. But if we look closely, we can probably find a greater variety of colours "popping out" at this time of year than we see in mid-October. So our challenge is to see how many different colours we can find in our Springtime surroundings!
If you cannot appear in person, emailed images to [email protected] are always welcome. And if you'd just like to see what the Photo Group is all about, please feel free to come along and join the fun as a spectator!
