Looking at this photo…you would assume it was taken outside. Actually, it’s a painting in a friend’s house. I went out with girlfriends last night and we ended the evening at one of their homes. Always looking for practice with my camera, I took a few photographs. I like the way the water droplets have a 3d effect.
I was looking forward to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week because the theme is Rainbow! Those of us living in the Northern hemisphere need some color about now!
These brightly painted ostrich eggs in Cape Town, Africa are definitely full of color! Continue reading
Where’s My Backpack has a Weekly Travel Theme and this week it’s Bridges! I love bridges! They connect you to new experiences, people, places and fun!
This bridge at Camp Kern near Cincinnati, Ohio was fun to walk on and took us to the beginning spot for zip lining through the beautiful Autumn trees! It was extra special for me because it was just my son and I…that’s him walking up the bridge. Continue reading
I thought I’d give you a more personal look at my life lately! I joined a new Meetup.com group a few weeks ago that focuses on cooking. Seeing that I’ve made over 160 new recipes from Pinterest this past year, it’s quite appropriate. I volunteered to host the first gathering, which was held at our house Saturday evening. The theme was Mexican and there were 12 of us. Because I was the hostess…I didn’t need to cook. Everyone else brought the food. It was still quite a bit of work to make sure the house was clean, to assist the night of, and to clean again afterwards; but I enjoyed the company and the food was delish!
I joined another Meetup group for creative people and attended the first meetup the other night. There were about 9 of us…so we went around the room and shared a little about ourselves and I’m signed up for the next event, an art exhibit for one of the members!
A Word a Week’s Photo Challenge this week is Zoom! I’m always zooming in!

The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is “Forward”. I’ve chosen four photos that represent the typical use of the word…”a forward motion”, and three that show people being “bold”!
This is from a trip I took in 2009 to Peru. Specifically on Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca. Continue reading
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Red, White or Red & White. This photo was taken at Sanibel Island, Florida right before Christmas…hence the Poinsettias.
Sue’s Photo Challenge this week at her blog…A Word in your Ear is “Industrial”. At first I wasn’t sure I had any photos that would portray this word…but…I did! I think that’s what’s so addictive about these photo challenges…searching through your photos and the sense of accomplishment when you find what you feel are the “perfect ones”!
My husband and I were hiking at Stonelick Lake in Ohio this past summer and there was a tractor show and some other activities. This blacksmith was demonstrating his trade. Continue reading
A few days ago, my husband and I headed over to the Longbranch Farms located a few minutes away from our home and took a hike! The sky was gorgeous and it was warm..50 degrees…compared to recently.
I’m excited to participate in the Adventure and Travel Magazine Let’s Be Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for Bloggers. This week’s challenge is Wanderlust! I have had a bad case of Wanderlust at times and looking at past adventures tends to kindle that flame even more.
Where’s My Backpack’s Travel Theme this week is Mountains. I love Mountains! I love to hike on them, look at them, and photograph them! I posted so many photos of Mountains recently with my “Hiking” series…I had to search through my thousands of photos for some I haven’t posted–or at least not recently.
Hopefully, you read Park I of my Enchanted Forest at the Krohn Conservatory yesterday. If not, you can read it here. I like being a Tourist in my own City!
The Waterfall at the Krohn Conservatory is lovely! I fooled around with the Aperture and was able to get that silky effect. It’s on my “to-do list” to learn more about my camera!
I love to kiss and that’s the Photo Challenge for WordPress this week!
This Egyptian camel owner likes to kiss his camel!
The Enchanted Forest is one of the many amazing events and displays that the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio hosts. Yesterday, my friend Gina and I were definitely enchanted with their forest! As a Tourist in my City…it’s fun to find inexpensive ($3.00), yet really cool things to do!
