Unlike many younger people these days, I don't normally take pictures of my food when eating out, or post them on social media (I am not on Facebook or Twitter anyway). But this time, on our cruise to Alaska last summer, I just had to capture this. It was the final night of the cruise, …

Easy Being Green…Gardens I’ve Seen
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/
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/
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/
Images…What’s in a Name?
What do these names have in common? They are both occupations. Way back in the medieval period in England, people didn't have "family" names, since there were few enough people around. They were often known by what they did in the community. John, the miller, who owned the flour mill by the river and accepted …
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/
Better late than never! Dec. 23 Photo Challenge: Path
I had a perfect picture for this photo challenge, but for the life of me, I could not find it in my photo archives. Maybe I'm just getting old! I knew I had it on my computer at work, though, but we were off the last week of December. Finally, today, I managed to find …
