2017 was highlighted by travels, to various destinations to meet with friends, and to get re-acqainted with old (in both senses of the word) friends. Here are my favorite highlights. In February, Hubby and I traveled to Phoenix for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. This was our third trip to Arizona with the Hillsdale …

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 …

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/

How often have you looked up at spectacular clouds, and had to keep watching as they scud across the sky at the mercy of winds on high? Our skies out here in Western Washington State are often gray, but there …
This piece of building, obviously in ruins now, was the beginning of a breakthrough that formed the beginnings of Gothic architecture. Want to see the rest of this very old building? Here it is.

Circles within circles, in the snow. A frozen birdbath. And 'round the bird feeder, the Pine Siskins chase each other around the outside perch, to eat at any of the circular openings. Maybe the one next door has more seed? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/rounded/
Most people drive or cycle through cities these days. From the window of a car, or the seat of a bicycle, you can miss the details that only a pedestrian, walking along at a slow pace, can see. On our walk through Uptown Port Townsend, I caught these details that might have been overlooked from …
I have gotten pretty good at taking photos from the passenger-side windows of our car. On our way to Montana and back, I shot these photos from the moving vehicle-I really wanted my friends to see what the air quality was, as a result of the wildfires in Montana and Eastern Washington. This was just …
