Comments (24)Pine cone found on Mount San Jacinto last year - from a Coulter Pine Tree. From Wikipedia: <Coulter pines produce the largest cones of any pine tree species and people are advised to wear hardhats when working in Coulter pine groves), although the slender cones of the sugar pine are longer. The large size of the cones has earned them the nickname "widowmakers" among locals.>...See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - F 6/23/23
Comments (19)I love all the seasons! I can’t pick just one. When I think of my childhood I think of all the fun we had in winter. I love cold sunny winter days and full moon winter nights and the stillness in the air.💕 Hot, hot weather is my least favourite. It’s easy to dress warmly and enjoy the outdoors in the winter but there’s not much you can do outdoors when it’s too hot....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - F 6/30/23
Comments (13)Sitting in the lounge car with the steward aboard the VIA Rail Skeena. This is a trip I have taken many times. It is a two day trip from Jasper to Prince Rupert through the Rocky Mountains with an overnight in Prince George BC. We go during the off season and there is hardly ever many people riding. Stopping for a track delay, they let passengers off to walk around. Vespas, bikes and a donkey cart in the garage...See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - F 7/28/23
Comments (18)Lars, I took a Desert Hot Springs sculpture pic back in 1997 on one of our two 4 week motorcycle trips touring the western half of the states. We made it a challenge to see how many of Toth's carvings we could find. Even then some of them had somehow disappeared or were moved to places for repair or we had no information to follow up on. This is a pic of the original one in a park near Akron Ohio. Sadly, vandals cut it in half diagonally some years ago. His carvings did become much larger and more detailed as he went on....See More

4 years agoI saw Carnival Legend in Stephens Passage as we were nearing glaciers.
The lighter colored rock shows where this glacier used to be, it has retreated that much.

4 years agoThis is pretty much as close as I got to Alaska, which is Vancouver BC. I did get as far north as Squamish, but I have not yet scanned those photos.

I'm using up vacation time, and we got up early to build VBS stage stuff. He's learned how to toenail screws, and only a quarter (he thought it'd be half of it) needed it, a board can be warped and still work well with cross supports, and how to alternate between pilot hole and drilling bits by keeping them on the drill.
Although he's already built me a BEAUTIFUL sofa table, I'd like an end table, coffee table, night stands, and when he's really practiced a sideboard with doors and drawers. He's enjoying all the ideas, so yay!

Honeycreeper at the San Diego Safari Park I am puzzled by the very white legs and feet; generally they are bright yellow. Maybe he is too young, even though he has adult plumage.

Here is a strange thing...that has nothing to do with pictures. Today is my son's 48th birthday, he and my daughter will be the same age until July 30. And I thought it was embarrassing when I was young that my sister and I are the same age for 3 weeks.

4 years agojoanmn, my 2 daughters are the same age for 4 days. It was a little embarrassing those 59+ years ago. LOL. It helped a little that the oldest was 3 weeks premature and the youngest was 7 weeks premature.

4 years agoLast night DD and I went to the Mann Music Center to watch a recording of an NPR show - "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." I've been to other tapings of the show and always enjoyed them. Paula Poundstone was on the panel last night and she is really a hoot.
