A day like no other.

The inversion at Canyonlands National Park made a believer out of me that anything can happen. Someday's stand taller and this is one of them. If you ever get to Moab stop in to Canyonlands NP and say hello.

can you feel it?

I've Been Tagged!

It's the 2nd time. I tried to ignore it the first time, But now I'm all itchy and want to jump in a pond. I better re-read the "rules."

You are being tagged! The rules are to upload the 5th photo from the 5th folder on your computer. I am told that you turn into a frog if you break the rule. Then, the person you tag, tags 5 more people!

That explains a few things.. ribbit, ribbit.. Thanks Dee Dee and Neil!

This is the 5th photo in the 5th folder. Miss C.C. actually walking towards me. Only took her 14yrs to look at me and now she walks up to me. Soon she'll be in my lap!

According to the rules, I'm now tagging the following 5 contacts:

I had planned on naming this "Staying Alive" after John Travolta's old movie.

Seems like most of my teenage years had been spent along this stretch of concrete. North ave to Oak st beach, No visit back to my hometown is complete (no matter the weather) without a glimpse of this magical slab.

Vacation was great but it also was good to get home and see the fur kids!

This wasn't the shot I was after, Scarborough in the distance was all lit up and the waves were rough. I hoped to capture big waves in the foreground and Scarborough lit up in the background.. this wave sneeked up on me, I just did seeit in the corner of my eye, thankfully.. in my haste, my finger partly covered the lens.. top left :-)

Hi Everyone. I am going to go do some hiking right now but I will be coming to visit you and check out your lovely photo's as soon as I get back tonight.

Friday will be three months since we lost Ken. I have been going through the photos he took on his computer and saw this one and thought it was so beautiful. I applied an Alien Skin Exposure filter to bring out the beauty I saw when I first found it. I love this photo so much. I am going to have it printed large and hang it in our house. I am posting it today to honor and remember Ken. I wish he was here with us to see it. Ken, we miss and love you.

UPDATE - a few photos of Ken here, here and here.
