The ultimate solitude for me would be sitting here: The private veranda off our cruise-ship stateroom. With a good book. Listening to this: I find the sight and sound of the ship cutting through the water incredibly relaxing. This is, in my opinion, the best part of a cruise. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/solitude/

The View from Above the Clouds
I think it's quite remarkable that, in a fairly short time, Americans invented the airplane, and took it from a simple, light craft made of wood and fabric to a huge metal cylinder that can carry up to 500 people at a time and fly halfway around the world in comfort. Here are some photos …
Photo Challenge-Graceful
What could be more graceful than a bird in flight? Even though they look ungainly on land, these Skimmers at Cape May, New Jersey, are very graceful coming in for a landing. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/graceful/
Weekly Photo Challenge…Ambience
The scene below is calming and tranquil. Ambience that we need in this environment of constant rushing around, connection, and stress. Take a deep breath, and listen to the sound of the sea. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/ambience/

White Christmas at the RushBabe Abode
Much to my surprise and delight, when I awoke this mid-morning (off work, so slept really late), it was snowing, hard. Big flakes were falling, making our back yard white and fluffy. Shortly after this, I hung our brand new bird feeder, and filled the suet feeder. I hope the birds come back (we took …
Anticipation-The Other Side of Sunset
The first night of our 11-day cruise to Alaska showed us a beautiful sunset. Anticipation? We knew that when we awoke the next morning, we would be well on our way to Alaska. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/anticipation/
This Week’s Photo Challenge: New Horizon, and Liberty
I am at the stage in my life (age 67) where New Years resolutions don't fit. This year, I have something wonderful to look forward to for the next few years-Liberty! With a new Republican Administration taking over in January, instead of worrying constantly about the tightening of the strait-jacket of Government constantly hemming in …

Black Friday is coming
And the Seattle Humane Society is offering free black cats for Black Friday. It is said that black cats are less-readily adopted from shelters than are cats of other colors. I just had to smile when I read the story on the KOMO Seattle news site. Click over to the story and see the cute …
