Magnificent Earth. Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. The view from Rainbow Point shows the beautiful red-rock cliffs, sculpted over millennia by wind and water. Bryce Canyon, from Rainbow Point https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/earth/ I've been getting such nice comments, here's a fellow who greeted us at another of the overlooks at Bryce.

Weekly Photo Challenge…Admiration for a Thing of Beauty
I have always admired my violin, which I bought from its maker in 1987, when it was nearly brand new. David VanZandt lives in Seattle, and every once in awhile I take my beautiful violin home to "Daddy" for him to touch up the varnish and do any needed adjustments. I found that, once I …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Abstract
If you're not careful, your eyes will cross and your brain will tie itself in knots, wondering what it's looking at. From far away, just a riverbank. Up close? Just don't walk down by the Columbia River in bare feet. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/abstract/
Weekly Photo Challenge…A Most Extraordinary Dinner
In May of 2013, I organized my first Seattle Ricochet Meetup, a physical meeting of Ricochet members, around a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar held in Seattle. Ricochet members are always up for a meeting, and many Seattle members support Hillsdale College. I posted an invitation on the Member Feed, and asked for advance notice …

Thursday Thoughts
I found an interesting statement in a Wall Street Journal review of a new book of the letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, writer of the "Little House" series about her childhood in the Midwest and on the prairie. It seems that, in her eighties, she did a radio broadcast, to the "Children of Chicago", and …
Conquering my revulsion
For most of my life, I have had a revulsion reaction to people whose bodies are deformed, or whose behaviors are offensive in public. I believe this revulsion is probably hard-wired into human beings from prehistory, as a survival characteristic (others whose looks or behaviors are not "civilized" might be foes); so I'm betting that …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Landscape
My first thought was...this is way too easy! Landscapes are a large proportion of the photos I take. So, it was difficult to pick one that's my favorite. I figured I'd stay close to home. I have always been very fond of the "shrub-steppe" terrain found in Central Washington State. The road that goes south …
Celebrate our Beautiful Country
Every day, I give thanks to have been born in the Greatest Country on God's Green Earth. Our country is one of the most beautiful on Earth, with terrain ranging from blazing hot deserts, to grassy prairies, to high snow-capped mountains, to chains of beautiful blue lakes. The American people are the most generous in …
Black Lives (Don’t) Matter
What about this Black Life? Did you know that over 60% of black babies are aborted? Yes, SIXTY PERCENT! This evening, I discovered an interesting Web Site called Black Genocide. Give it a look. This simple fact shows that so-called Progressives do NOT believe that Black Lives Matter. In truth, the fact that Abortion is …
Who is more important to the president? Brutal dictators? Or you?
Let's see. In the past couple of years he has met with, and praised: The Brutal Dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin. A Saudi Prince, of a kingdom that represses its women, stoning them to death for "honor crimes". He has done his best to release "detainees" (brutal terrorists) from Guantanamo Prison, allowing them to return …
