My People, The Jews, are the most resilient people there are. We are Creators and scholars, in Science, Medicine, The Law, and Business. The Jews have survived attempted genocide at the hands of the Romans. (Just look at what the Roman Empire became-Italy now is a basket-case in Europe, as is Greece.) Yet, We Survive, …

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 …

Weekly Photo Challenge, Relax
Hakan just HAD to use a cat to illustrate the Daily Post Relax theme. When you are owned by a cat, you find lots of occasions of your owner relaxing...that's what cats do! If that's not relaxed, nothing is! Kikyo, who owns the place, likes to stretch out in the sunshine near the sliding door …
Weekly Photo Challenge…It’s Not This Time of Year Without…
A trip to Washington's Bavarian Village, Leavenworth, to view the Tree-Lighting. Every Friday and Saturday in December, the town waits with bated breath for the Christmas Tree to be lit, just at dusk. Crowds fill the streets, and the tree is lit, making a wonderland of lights. And After... And a bit further after: Here's …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Tiny
When you think of a ferry boat, you normally think of a vessel that can hold many automobiles, trucks, and their drivers. The City of Victoria, British Columbia has a fleet of tiny water-taxis that resemble miniature ferry boats. They are very cute, putt-putting around the Inner Harbour. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/tiny-2016/

Weekly Photo Challenge__Local
I am very fond of my car. I love driving, and look forward to freeway miles when I go out of town. I also live in the Seattle area, known, perhaps unfairly, for its rain. One day at work, there was a brief, heavy rainstorm. Before the storm, the sky was partly cloudy and pleasantly …
Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O
Our cruise to Alaska this year involved traveling over about 1,000 miles of water. Needless to say, the water (average temperature 50F) surrounded our ship. The waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Alaska, and the Gulf Islands of Canada changed with the weather and the outflows of rivers and glaciated bays. In Yakutat …
