One of the most interesting rocks I have ever seen is in Boulder Canyon in Colorado, located near the now-closed trailhead to Boulder Falls. I have been fascinated by its tunnel-like hole since I was a young child. The lower photo was taken yesterday while the top photo was taken 59 years ago in 1966Continue reading “Then and Again”

Wandering Ukulele
The lady working at U-Haul gave me as strange look when I told her that the box we were buying would be used to send an ukulele to French Polynesia. While we were there recently, friends we had visited liked the one that I had with me. It’s an Outdoor Ukulele, made of carbon fiberContinue reading “Wandering Ukulele”
Stump Fungus
It seems that nothing goes to waste; there is always something to feed on the leftovers of formerly living things, even trees. While often referred to in the unpleasant word, “decay,” this is really the recycling of nutrients so that new life may continue, and it can create some curious patterns in the process. #stumpContinue reading “Stump Fungus”
Cereal Killers
It was buy one, get one free, but had I known the flip side of those Cinnamon Toast Crunch boxes, I might have reconsidered. They look truly homicidal, especially the one with the twisted grin. I wouldn’t want to share a breakfast with either one out of a sense of survival. Maybe once they hadContinue reading “Cereal Killers”
Venus in Blue Beams
Light from the rising sun cast gold and blue beams across the sky and seemed to spotlight Venus shining brightly in the blue beam. Additionally, Jupiter is just barely visible near the trees below and to the left of Venus, his light nearly lost in the brilliance of the dawn. #venus #bluebeams #sunrise #jupiter
Friend of Jack?
Two colorful Florida snakes look very similar; the king snake pictured above, is nonvenomous; the other, the coral snake, is deadly poisonous. They look very much alike. There is an old saying, ““Red on yella, kill a fella. Red on black, a friend of Jack.” In the picture above, all the red bands are adjacentContinue reading “Friend of Jack?”
Of Flowers and Friends
Friends, like flowers brighten any day and add a special fragrance to life. We enjoy them as long as we can. And though flowers may fade away as we all eventually must, we are so much the better for having known them and will cherish their memory. Rest in peace dear friend. #flowers #parting #friendship
Spotting Saturn
Just barely visible to the upper left of Saturn the faint glow of its biggest moon, Titan, can be seen as it casts its shadow on the upper right side of Saturn. This is a rare view; such eclipses can only be seen when Saturn’s rings appear nearly edge on to Earth which happens aboutContinue reading “Spotting Saturn”
Mountain Peek
Mount Rotui towered as a splendid spectacle between two bays in Moorea. Its precipitous palisades rose to its sacred summit of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, covered with tropical verdure. Peeking between clouds and trees, it was a stunning sight that set our faces aglow in awe and wonder and will remain as aContinue reading “Mountain Peek”
De Feet Da Heat
With air temperatures in the low nineties, the pool water in the eighties felt great. Thanks to the pool, we are enjoying the hot, dog days of summer. It’s the ideal way to defeat the heat. #heat #feet #pool #dogdaysofsummer
