Part of the Rock Maze at Swallow Falls St park

Mt. Teide in the Canary Islands is a dormant shield volcano the peak is a little over 12,000 feet, last eruption was 1909. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Aerial shots from the tiny plane we flew in while leaving Block Island:

The Point Judith Lighthouse

A sizable suspension bridge

and shortly thereafter, what appears to be military planes at an airfield

About midway through the trip the smaller camera that I used for these shots and in the underwater case while snorkeling, somehow got a piece on lint on the inside of the lens, which shows up as a fuzzy dark patch in all of the pictures. On many of the better pictures I was able to edit it out with a photo editing program, but it is a fair bit of work and it is rather annoying.

How often do you cross the bridge Karen?

Not sure I understand the question. This is the 4th time I've walked out to the bridge. It's about a 45 minute drive from me, then a 20 minute walk to reach the bridge.

There sure is a lot of beauty in this world!!

Mine are some peppers - chili and bell, I believe - that I've grown. I don't eat them, but I think I have found a home for them with a friend. :)

Hmm, no picture. I'll try again.

There we go!

Chili and Bell peppers! Those would go well in a pot of chili that I make. Slice them open, remove the seeds, dice and throw into the chili pot. YUM!
