Apps Uncovered 20 October 2019 – In Nature’s Realm
Selected by Bob Weil This week’s Apps Uncovered presents a selection of images of nature posted to our Flickr group over the last week – all of spring, summer or fall, before the season rapidly gives way to winter.

Apps Uncovered 6 October 2019 – I Am Woman
Selected by Bob Weil Woman are featured as the subject of the selections in this week’s Apps Uncovered.
