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 …

Photo Challenge…Experimental..What WAS that against the sky?
When I'm out with my camera, I like pointing it up at the sky. Sometimes I find interesting shapes. This one is on the outside of the building where I work. It's the top of the ladder to the roof, but seen against a blue sky, it's art. Then, at night, in Arizona, again pointing …

Temporary-Beautiful Things That Don’t Last
The fact that cloud formations are by their nature temporary makes you appreciate them more. How often have you looked up at spectacular clouds, and had to keep watching as they scud across the sky at the mercy of winds on high? Our skies out here in Western Washington State are often gray, but there …
‘Round the Backyard-Photo Challenge
Circles within circles, in the snow. A frozen birdbath. And 'round the bird feeder, the Pine Siskins chase each other around the outside perch, to eat at any of the circular openings. Maybe the one next door has more seed? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/rounded/
Cleverly concealed beauty – on the Golf Course
Hiding in plain sight. Golf courses are often in cities or suburbs, and may be behind a gate, for Members Only. I don't play golf, but in the past few years I have been fortunate enough to be able to tag along with the golfers, and take pictures. A couple of years ago, my husband …

Photo Challenge A Significant Glow
This is the view from the deck of our vacation house in Bigfork, Montana, on September 7, the day after we got there from Washington. You can't see much, due to the smoke from the terrible wildfires, that closed Glacier National Park, and prevented our group from doing most outdoor activities. And on September 10, …
