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/
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/

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, …
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…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/
