I promised you Crater Lake.
Here it is, the remnants of Mount Mazama, a super volcano that blew its top off about 7000 years ago, I think it was... And here it is now, a great deep caldera of blue, blue water, with a little volcanic cone, Wizard Island, in its midst. It was very chilly and windy, surrounded by alpine meadows,...

After the dog sign, I owe you these two... & 'specially for Kabu and Naut!
Spotted a dozen or more of these cuties dashing about like rodent roadsters on a talus slope above Crater Lake. (Bluer than the summer blue sky! Those pictures next time...) And just when I thought the one above was the cutest ever, I caught this one: (email me if you ever want prints of any of my...

Connectivity! Yay!
We are having a very fine and wholesome breakfast--oat meal you can see the oats in, and french toast where the eggy batter has completely hidden the sourdough bread... syrup is spicy apply stuff--and the espresso, absolutely the worst I have ever tasted! Best of all, the link here is strong enough,...

Not even at the crack of noon...!
Charlie and I didn't get outta town until 4pm, on our way to visit his sweetie in Ellensburg, about 3 hours away, then on towards Colorado. As it turned out, they only had a couple of hours to visit, and then we drove on until about 1am and a few miles into Oregon. We drove down through Yakima, over...

Mystery plants... Can you help identify them?
These were growing in the wetlands reserve in Singapore. I'd like to use a couple of them for cards, but I have no information for the card-back. I've been online and to the library, and bookstores, but I still can't find a name for these pretty leaves. Nothing with this coloring seems to grow...

Industrial beauty?
In the park where the Inchland moss gardens are, and the cool summer scenes, and the river source of many of my water abstracts, there is this stand-pipe arrangement that I think was installed 40 or 50 years ago, to manage the flow of an artesian well. (It's the water!) It isn;t very pretty just...
