I hate green. Green is my least favorite color, at least in clothing and accessories and household goods. I don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, or any other day, for that matter. And I'm the opposite of an "environmental wacko", since I don't believe that humans are a blot on the landscape, or destroying …

Weekly Photo Challenge-Atop
Mount Rose is the highest point in the Washoe Range in Nevada, and the highest year-round pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the highway at the summit of Mount Rose, here are the trees and rocks at the very tippy-top. On the way down the other side, when you feel like you're really on …
Weekly Photo Challenge..The Road Taken…A lid on the World
So one afternoon, I'm in my car on the way to a doctor appointment. I'm driving down the freeway, and when I look up and around, the sky looks like there's a "lid" on the world, and it's been raised a bit. And, right in the strip of blue sky between the lid of clouds, …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shadow
At the Diablo Lake Overlook, along Washington State Highway 20 (North Cascades Highway), Mountain Shadows. It is late afternoon. But when you zoom out a little... Shadows disappear. And you see the blue-green glacial waters of Diablo Lake, behind Diablo Dam, on the Skagit River. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/shadow-2017/
Winter Wednesday
Last time I checked, the outside temperature in my town was 33. We had snow over the weekend, and there is still some on the ground in my neighborhood. Here are some winter shots from years past. Brrrrrr... Also from 2012. The round thing in front is our bird bath. The parking lot …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Solitude
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/
Over the Cascade Mountains
Hubby and I had the entire week between Christmas and New Years off work. On Wednesday, we got in the car and drove over the Cascade Mountains to Leavenworth. Here are a couple of pictures I took from inside the moving car. Stevens Pass Ski Area. On our way back in the evening, there was …
