The House In Porirua
The house looks small from the approach--in fact, it looks like a garage. To the left is a moderately high white stucco wall with a modest iron gate. Trees and vines overhang everywhere like the Gardens of Babylon. But come through the gate or the garage, into a little garden--no lawn anywhere--and...

Photos coming...
I have begun to load photos onto photobucket, though it may be a slow process. Computer speeds don't seem to be very fast here. But anyway, if you will pardon me an assumption here, these are some of what you're looking forward to: Inside the house, and the views from it--It's a wonderful house,...

The sun seems brighter...
shining out between the clouds of the New Zealand sky. The first leg of the flight, from Seattle to San Francisco, was from drenching rain to sunshine over the clouds, and down into a pleasant enough California afternoon. With a layover of a couple of hours, I walked a good long way to get to the...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
my husband's hovering near the door... I stopped to take a breath, and say goodbye! It will be at least 24 hours before I am here again--but I will be a day ahead of most of you, and writing from the future... sort of! Got 3 cameras, including the old Minolta 35mm film camera, and an 8 gig card in...

Last Days...
On Wednesday, I'm off on the biggest trip yet... the most exciting, the one I'm thinking now will be the easiest of my overseas adventures. For one thing, the language of the country is English. That will help--though the idiom may make for some interesting moments. On only one trip--Italy--I went...

a photo of memory
This was taken with a film camera in 1970 or thenabouts... The subject is the reflection of the Flora Stone Mather Memorial Building which housed the Dean's Office of Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. By the time I attended, WRU had hooked up (so to speak) with Case Technical Institute,...

Trying something new...
Davy and I walked around the McClane Creek pond a couple of days ago, and I wanted to share the sound of it with you, so finally tried out the video function on my camera. After viewing the results, I can assure you, I need considerably more practice. But there is one clip that you might enjoy... If...

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig!
It was a very long day with lots of walking... woke up this morning 3000 miles from where I woke up yesterday. Walked around in Maryland, a mile or so in the morning, then around the Baltimore airport, sat all the way to Denver then walked around the Denver airport a considerable distance, and for...

Window Seat: farm land next to desert
This almost looks computer generated... Well, it could be, I suppose, it is California... This is early afternoon light on these stony lands--so bleak! That's likely a dry wash, not a lively river-bed. Somewhere between Phoenix and Kansas... and a little later in the afternoon:

Window Seat: a few more views from the sky
California's San Andreas Fault, north of San Francisico I have never seen it from the air before, and havenever noticed it from the ground (more later... only have time for one right now)
