Sun-loving Snowmen

Unlike their outdoor cousins, these snowmen enjoy warmth, and especially the sunshine. They like to cast sparkles of sunlight about like glittering snowflakes. #snowmen #sunshine #warm #indoor #snowflakes

Winter Promise

In the Tri-cities, Washington, where we once lived, snow almost always began as rain, which then froze under the layer of snow and made the roads and sidewalks very slippery. But it also produced some memorable sights such as the one above. I spotted these snow-covered berries across the street in the neighbor’s yard andContinue reading “Winter Promise”

Brightening the Dark

It will guide no ships to their ports, but it fills the room with the warm glow of home. #lighthouse #light #guide #home #security

Morning Dew

This camellia blossom stood out from the rest, and I just had to photograph it. Then I noticed droplets of dew under the petals, and it reminded me of the Hawaiian song, “E Ku’u Morning Dew,” which means “my beloved morning dew.” The first verse with English interpretation is: E ku’u morning dew My belovedContinue reading “Morning Dew”

Little Drummer Joey

A young kangaroo is called a “joey” because it is a marsupial. This one seems quite far from home; perhaps it is on a pilgrimage to visit the nearby nativity scene. He appears to be enjoying being the little drummer joey, but I believe that the squirrel thinks that we are both nuts. #joey #kangarooContinue reading “Little Drummer Joey”

Christmas Cookies

Better hurry, Santa, these cookies may not last! #christmascookies #christmas #santa

And a Ukulele in a Palm Tree

My ukulele, that I named Lokelani after the “heavenly” Hawaiian rose, rests peacefully beneath a stylized palm tree, both radiating the colors and good will of the season. #holidayseason #christmasseason #ukulele #palmtree #lokelani

Galapagos 2014: Day 2, Boarding and Exploring

Saturday Travelogue

Cars Afloat

While aboard a pontoon boat near Disney Springs we saw this Amphicar driving on, of all things, water! Immediately three words came to mind: “Blub, blub, blub,” as in the sound of something sinking. But no, it merrily bobbed its way about the water and is a popular attraction at the springs. Amphicars were madeContinue reading “Cars Afloat”
