That’s 10 days, 10 travel pictures, and 10 nominations. We accepted because we like him, but we may not make it to the end of … Continue reading Travel Photo Challenge Day 2 – changing the rules as I go

[ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Below The Surface
During our trip to Israel, I took the free-at-the-time hostages to the dead sea. Technically a lake, the Dead Sea is the lowest place on dry land. It is also one of the saltiest lakes in the world. Thanks to human intervention it is also dying, shrinking at a rate of about 3 feet a … Continue reading [ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Below The Surface

[ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Tenacity
This vivid and stubborn plant broke ground in an arid, semi-desert part of Israel. The Jerusalem Autumn Crocus (Colchicum hierosolymitanum), now rare and protected, was once common around Jerusalem. It seems like an impossible and futile effort, yet here it is vibrant and very much alive.

Just look at the hostages frolicking in this magical forest; a place where someone was free to be creative. … Continue reading [ONE PHOTO AT A TIME] Freedom

Looks like hiking is a popular activity in Sudbury. There were many trails to choose from! ...but it was … Continue reading Sudbury Surprise Storyboards
Sudbury’s Giant Mural
Sudbury was our last destination before we really started heading home. As we rolled into town we caught a glimpse of something strangely vibrant in the distance. We had to check it out so we followed the roads in the general direction until the full structure came into view. What the.... What is it? We … Continue reading Sudbury’s Giant Mural
