The ice looks like it is trying to take over the land, slithering down from its peak, blue fingers searching for the best channel. And when the mini-glacier grows up, he looks like this: https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/out-of-this-world/

Take a Guided Tour, Through my Beautiful Pacific Northwest
I think I live in the most beautiful part of the USA, the Pacific Northwest. Within one or two hours' drive, you can be at the ocean, the lake, the mountains, or the desert. Let's start right close to my home, in Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle. This is Silver Lake, about a half-mile …

Photo Challenge……Beloved
I was reminded again this afternoon of how beloved our little cat is in our household. She needed to have some teeth removed, so I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon (and she meowed plaintively all the way), and picked her back up this afternoon. The vet said she was a "model patient" and …
Variations on a theme..the many faces of the Wenatchee River
Leavenworth, Washington is a favorite destination for us, and to get there the road parallels the Wenatchee River. The river roars through the Tumwater Canyon, meanders along the foothills, and flows through the town, in one end and out the other. The river is never the same way twice, but it is always a beautiful …

Silence afloat…Just the wind in the sails
I love to look up while sailing, and capture the sail against the sky. The only sounds are the wind in the rigging, and the swishing of the hull through the water. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/silence-2/
Weathered, Creations of Man, and of Nature
This building was originally built in the twelfth century, in England. The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds. Much of it has weathered away, with the help of the local people, who often used the fallen stones for new buildings. But even the ruins are beautiful. This spectacular example of Nature's Creation, weathered, is Bryce Canyon …
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone from RushBabe49. Above is the view from my front door this Christmas morning. A white Christmas is pretty unusual in Western Washington. This is the view from my back door. May you all have a blessed Christmas, and a happy and prosperous New Year in 2018.
Final Photo Challenge of 2017-Favorites-Travels with/to Friends
2017 was highlighted by travels, to various destinations to meet with friends, and to get re-acqainted with old (in both senses of the word) friends. Here are my favorite highlights. In February, Hubby and I traveled to Phoenix for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. This was our third trip to Arizona with the Hillsdale …

Photo Challenge….Serene
At the marina on the Inner Harbour of Victoria, British Columbia, this morning shot of the boats, and the very calm water. Gentle ripples, and no one stirring this early. The world seemed to be holding its breath. I loved the boats-such a wide variety, with no two even remotely alike. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/serene/
I wasn’t going to do a Thanksgiving post this year…
But it's just too important for me to miss. We (hubby and I) have so much to be thankful for, this year and every year. We both have been incredibly fortunate to have kept our jobs all through the financial crisis period after 2007, and even advanced. Hubby will celebrate 38 years at Big Aerospace …
