I’ve always had mixed feelings about graffiti. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. Sometimes it’s beautiful and adds something to the environment, but sometimes it’s just destructive and ugly. I’d like to see graffiti have a proper place in society instead of being criminal activity, but I don’t think it should be…
This week I am combining themes. Landscape from the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge and Refreshing from Where’s My Backpack’s Weekly Travel Theme. These two ideas fit perfectly with my current mood and thoughts. The recent trip to Arizona still fresh in my mind, while here in New Hampshire the weather is drizzly, and has moved…
It was only the interior that was ornate, the rest of the mission property was beautiful but in a more simple and serene way. I prefered the grounds, which I will show in a future post. But what makes this mission truly special is it’s history which dates back to 1692 and the fact that…
When my daughter and I made plans to drive out west from New Hampshire the first thing we both decided was that we had to see Niagara Falls. Neither of us had ever been, and even though we have seen many photos we wanted to check it out for ourselves. We thought it would be something…

You never know what Autumn will be like here in always unpredictable New Hampshire. Will we have an Indian summer? When will the first frost come? Will it be a rainy or dry season? will the colors be vivid and how long will they last? How long can we hold out before turning on the…
There are all kinds of dreamy. Some dreams are nice and some are crazy or scary. Some dreams can be irritating or perplexing. I’ll go with dreamy as a description something hoped for or the allure of a better place or time. These photos were taken at a place called Castle in the Clouds, in…
Most of the desert bush seems like fray, especially from a distance. These flower clusters in the rocks caught my eye because of the contrast of the striking colors among the fray of vegetation and rock. For more Fray click here.
Contrasts – Weekly Photo Challenge So much to see and so little time. I was so interested in the history of this religious movement and their innovative lifestyle that I forgot to take a lot of photos. The Shaker’s believed in creating an ideal world where God’s love could be experienced through their lifestyle and…
