Lake Living.35


Mountains.45

Wenatchee River in the Cascades, Washington State. This one’s from Sam; I’ve never been anywhere near, but now I want to add it to the bucket list…


Islands.65

Madeline Island, Lake Superior – another corner I’ve never seen myself, courtesy of Sam. The only problem with Sam becoming a contributor is he’s making me want to visit some of these places myself…if I ever get the time and freedom to travel around the US again 🙂

City Views.234

My recent post from the royal palace in A’dam caused cousin & occasional guest contributor Sam to point out that he’d seen plenty of SPQ “x” signs all over during his visit last year. Herewith two examples he sent, one from Haarlem (left), the other from Amsterdam. Thanks for the sharp eyes, Sam 🙂

(Partial Guest) From the Air.49

Above, Mt Rainier from on high. Another contribution from Sam: thanks! Below, more snowy mountains, this time in northern Greenland as I flew by in April en route to SF. Theme = snowy mountains, to mentally cool those sweating through hot days :-).

(Guest) Islands.59

Ben Ure Island, Washington – courtesy of Sam, for which thanks!
