Evidence from my valiant Riverside friend of the scenes she lives among for the sake of her eminent job at the University down there. Personally, my own courage would have failed me from the outset faced with aesthetic hurdles of this magnitude.
The author of these photographs offered her own comments after seeing their presentation here: Gee, I thought those photos showed a sweetly charming side of Riverside. Don't you at least like the little ducks? Okay, there's a little irony in some of those photos, but mostly I try to find a few things I like when I take pictures on my walks.
These wise & kind words naturally made me feel like an uncharitable person. Happily do I therefore withdraw all my remarks.
