Atop Mauna Kea. Some were wanting to build another observatory there, but the uproar from the locals was too much. It is windy and desolate up there.

Beautiful, Casey! The colors are so warm. I love it. Gazania, that must have been a fun puzzle to do. You are the Queen of Puzzlers!! So my picture is from a visit to San Juan Capistrano Mission. There is a large cement pond with carp and water lilies that is just amazing! First is a photo I took there. The second is a mosaic glass piece that I did trying to make it look like a water lily. I'm still not sure I succeeded on that one. :)

Trees bordering a cemetery are nice but there is a downside. In my town, there is a historic cemetery that has maple trees along its front border. Many of the town founders are buried there. I suspect those trees may have contributed to the street name; It is Maple avenue. Those trees are over 100 years old and some have died. Storms occasionally topples one of these trees with monster trunks, and when that happens, tombstones are damaged or wrecked. Old cemeteries I have visited that have endured the best are devoid of deciduous trees. A few shrubs and certain evergreens seem to endure without causing a lot of damage.

Annie, neat puzzle option. Have never seen one like that. Was there a picture of the actual puzzle to work from? If not, I don't think I would tackle it! We are in the third day of windy, rainy weather. Not ideal for fall color pics. Gloomy outlook from the breakfast table this morning.
