In the summer of 2006, after my orchestra played Carnegie Hall, my husband and I spent a couple of weeks touring around upstate New York. We visited Revolutionary War sites, including the battlefield at Saratoga, and Fort Ticonderoga. This is a view of Lake Champlain, seen through the frame of a window in one of …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rare
This is a small pipe organ, manufactured in Estonia in 1844. Today, it resides in the Sitka Lutheran Church, in Alaska. I'm guessing that there aren't very many of these around. These are two views of the back of the organ. Here's my husband playing it, to give you an idea of why I couldn't …
Photo Challenge: Cherry on Top
This is the old Burke Building, built in 1895 in downtown Seattle. See the arched doorway in the center of the street level. Then look straight up. This old building had a real Cherry on Top. This is what it looks like now, in the plaza of the newer Federal Building on the same site. …

Weekly Photo Challenge – Curve
This is a mysterious curve, that I wear every day. My wedding ring, by jewelry artist Margaret Brooks, is a "Mini-Moebius". By definition, a Moebius strip has only one surface. A circle, with no end, somewhat like Marriage. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/curve/

Photo Challenge…Numbers
I love palindromic numbers, that read the same forwards and backwards. I pay attention to the odometer in my car, watching for palindromic mileage. Sometimes I miss them, but this one was a very lucky sighting. I was driving down the highway, and there was a rest area just when my odometer read all the …
