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/

Year-End Photo Challenge: Resilient Jews
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 …
