Ralph continued, sharing images of local wildflowers found at Pismo Preserve as well as at his house.

Kaye Raul showed a spectacular image of Morro Rock shrouded by mist. Alas, she was unable to display additional images, victim of the fickleness of Zoom. After the meeting, she overcame Zoom's petulance and promises to offer the remaining images at the May meeting

John Waller visited Walmart, showing the Spring clothing offerings. He then went outdoors to Pine Mountain for pictures of the snow melt and Lopez Lake.

Stanford Brown highlighted the transition from Winter to Spring. He offered many images of Turtles, Easter Bunnies, Wood Ducks, birds nests, tall weeds and profuse blankets of wildflowers
