Women I admire like Oprah,Tina,Madonna and Jewel can all be recognized by their first name so this is the reason I call myself FranCes. I think of myself as an American traveler with amature photographer abilities.
So here is a little mishmash of things I've captured locally.

A wonderful artist by the name of Robin Van Lear came to Cleveland in 1990 from Santa Barabara, California.She has establised the most unique parade ever and it has been my pleasure to be part (as a submarine that blew up) of and or just to watch.This years theme was "Inside Out" Take a Look!

Let's start by going back to the cemetery for those shots requested. This is looking out the cemetery arches into the Cleveland Indian Stadium. I also learned that Chief Running Bear is layed to rest here. Then back to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the shot of the Skate Boarders Fence I went down Martin Luther King Boulevard where beauty is bountiful. I'd also like to show off the Clevelend Browns Stadium, but the sign was my assignment! Last but not least amongst beauty stands another beauty.

Here I have a look into the city from the Lake A view of the left arch A view of the right arch The Rose building I worked in long ago, Medical Mutual at that time. Lake Erie sunset before we went for prayer services for Pope John Paul II

Finally the sun came up here in Cleveland allowing me to get some shadow shots My Grandson and I. Only in Cleveland! Some architecture. One day snow next day sun.
I think by George I might have figured this thing out!
Thanks for the kind comments on my MOM photo!
