See the differently-colored punts, all lined up on the banks of the River Cam, in Cambridge, England. They are just waiting for some people to come along and rent them for a lazy trip down the slow-flowing river. Perfect for a summer afternoon. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/order/

Danger! Photo Challenge at the Grand Canyon
When I saw these young people at the Grand Canyon, I said a little prayer that no one would trip. They are brave! https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/danger/
Surprise! What IS that on my plate?
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, …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Dense
Where I live, in a small city, the housing is mostly single-family homes with yards. Even the downtown area isn't very dense. Then, there's New York City, which has to be the epitome of "dense". In Manhattan, the buildings are built cheek-by-jowl, and many buildings are very high. The majority of residents of Manhattan live …
New Header Photo for Spring
Daffodil field in the Skagit Valley, around Mount Vernon, Washington. Note the gray skies-it was raining, and we found many flooded fields. The Tulip Festival runs through April, and if Sunday was any indication, the tulips will be late this year. The Skagit Valley has some of the most fertile soil in our state, and …
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 …
Photo Challenge….Wish
Ever since I returned from Cambridge, England in 1991, I have wished I could go back. There's just no other place on Earth like it. If I was told I only had a year to live, I'd pull up stakes and spend my last days in Cambridge. King's College Chapel, back side, from the River …
RushBabe49 and Hubby’s Excellent Arizona Adventure
From February 13th through the 18th, hubby and I flew down to Arizona for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar in Phoenix. We attended the Seminar Tuesday and Wednesday, then did some sightseeing the rest of the time. Monday's flight was uneventful, and we arrived at our hotel in good time. Upon unpacking, however, hubby …

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/
