So here I am, at my desk, doing our TAXES, for heaven's sake! Yeah, it's that time of year. But I'd really rather be here: On the balcony of our stateroom, on the cruise ship, to Hawaii. With my nose in a good book, and a nice glass of wine. Just relaxing and watching and …

Is there anything sweeter than a little girl with a teensy accordion? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/sweet/
Take a Guided Tour, Through my Beautiful Pacific Northwest
I think I live in the most beautiful part of the USA, the Pacific Northwest. Within one or two hours' drive, you can be at the ocean, the lake, the mountains, or the desert. Let's start right close to my home, in Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle. This is Silver Lake, about a half-mile …

Variations on a theme..the many faces of the Wenatchee River
Leavenworth, Washington is a favorite destination for us, and to get there the road parallels the Wenatchee River. The river roars through the Tumwater Canyon, meanders along the foothills, and flows through the town, in one end and out the other. The river is never the same way twice, but it is always a beautiful …

Silence afloat…Just the wind in the sails
I love to look up while sailing, and capture the sail against the sky. The only sounds are the wind in the rigging, and the swishing of the hull through the water. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/silence-2/
Weathered, Creations of Man, and of Nature
This building was originally built in the twelfth century, in England. The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds.

This spectacular example of Nature's Creation, weathered, is Bryce Canyon …

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/
