May Daze
May is PHOTO Month -- A wonderful time to take photos in "Picture Perfect" Claremont. In fact, I've recently been taking oodles of photos to share with you in the eBuzz as well as on these four websites: The Vil Clare, The Village Claremont, Claremont Events and Claremont Today.
Smile... There's so much taking place this month.
