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 …

Weekly Photo Challenge..The Road Taken…A lid on the World
So one afternoon, I'm in my car on the way to a doctor appointment. I'm driving down the freeway, and when I look up and around, the sky looks like there's a "lid" on the world, and it's been raised a bit. And, right in the strip of blue sky between the lid of clouds, …

Weekly Photo Challenge: A Good Match
Things that complement each other...Good times, and Cousins! Back in October, we met some of my family down in Portland, OR. We celebrated some birthdays, had dinner, and got re-acquainted with family we don't see often. In their birthday finery, my sister, and my twin cousins. Aren't they cute? Brother and sisters. My cousin from …
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/
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/
Images…What’s in a Name?
What do these names have in common? They are both occupations. Way back in the medieval period in England, people didn't have "family" names, since there were few enough people around. They were often known by what they did in the community. John, the miller, who owned the flour mill by the river and accepted …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Ambience
The scene below is calming and tranquil. Ambience that we need in this environment of constant rushing around, connection, and stress. Take a deep breath, and listen to the sound of the sea. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/ambience/
Better late than never! Dec. 23 Photo Challenge: Path
I had a perfect picture for this photo challenge, but for the life of me, I could not find it in my photo archives. Maybe I'm just getting old! I knew I had it on my computer at work, though, but we were off the last week of December. Finally, today, I managed to find …

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 …
