Seattle pictures

Pat, this one's especially with you in mind, they just might take you home again for a little while... Seattle, like many cities, is shiny and new, all glass and reflection, shine and gleam--with its odd little corners of the old that will not go away. And Seattle has always been extended from its...

Photos on the fly

As I warned elsewhere, the photos from the flight from Colorado Springs to LA were sketchy due to the window being scratchy, and because I was sitting on the south side of the plane, thinking to get views of the Grand Canyon, over which I was told we would fly. She didn't tell me until deplaning,... Sign in to see full entry.

Leighton Moss walk

That's a wetlands preserve out near Morecambe Bay on the west coast of Cumbria.

Walking in The Shire

It is easy to feel very hobbity, ambling down the lanes near the house. Woods and fields, flowers and beasties... https://www.flickr.com/gp/therovingeye/W6X110 Sign in to see full entry.
