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 …

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 …

Ascend, Cast your Mind Higher-Photo Challenge
In 2012, I went to Washington, DC for the first time. One of our first stops on our walking tour of the city was the Library of Congress. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the inside of the main Library building, and it felt like I took an hour just taking pictures …

Photo Challenge…..Cheeky
I think Cheeky pretty accurately describes this guy, and his little friend. His little mouse friend makes him look cross-eyed. Here is who they are. A nice, sunny afternoon on the shore of Lake Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/cheeky/
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/
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 …
Peek at some architecture-Photo Challenge
This piece of building, obviously in ruins now, was the beginning of a breakthrough that formed the beginnings of Gothic architecture. Want to see the rest of this very old building? Here it is. You can see the tracery wall in the middle front of the medieval castle. A peek into history. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/peek/
‘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/
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, …
