On our Alaska cruise, aboard the Crystal Serenity... The beautiful, blue water in the swimming pool. It looked like molten sunshine, like silk. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/shine/
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 …
Nostalgia…The best weeks of my life
My readers will be familiar with my magic three weeks in Cambridge, England in 1991, from my post on that trip. Thinking back on my long life, those three weeks are the only time in my life that I can say I'm nostalgic for. I lived through the hippie 1960s and 1970s, and I'm not …

At The Edge: The Sea…Photo Challenge
Over the edge of the Promenade Deck on the Crystal Serenity is the Sea. The Inside Passage from Canada to Alaska. The water temperature is a pretty steady 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so you don't want to fall overboard. But watching the water go by is hypnotic, and very relaxing. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/edge/

Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame
In the summer of 2006, after my orchestra played Carnegie Hall, my husband and I spent a couple of weeks touring around upstate New York. We visited Revolutionary War sites, including the battlefield at Saratoga, and Fort Ticonderoga. This is a view of Lake Champlain, seen through the frame of a window in one of …
Weekly Photo Challenge: Rare
This is a small pipe organ, manufactured in Estonia in 1844. Today, it resides in the Sitka Lutheran Church, in Alaska. I'm guessing that there aren't very many of these around. These are two views of the back of the organ. Here's my husband playing it, to give you an idea of why I couldn't …
