4. At this time of night?
I wish I could, but I can't. It would require starting up the computer in the other room. Maybe tomorrow.

I didn't know there was a Mt. Olympus other than on the other side of 'the pond'

14. I took this thunderhead cloud pic while driving in my car.
I had my digital camera within reach so I took a pic while driving. The storm cloud was moving through at sunset, so the sun was lighting it up partially.

My Sensei says they hardly use it anymore... but its kind of hard calling Mt. Fuji...
"new, clean and fresh"..if you know what I mean.

22. I would just like to say, to your face, Peg.
That is outstanding!

The colors are subtle, the composition is sublime,
the colors are balanced, and I feel like I am there.

23. I thank you, my dear Ptah.....
Amazingly enough, this was a film pic. A man I used to know burned the pic (along with many others) onto a CD, and gave it to me.

I am forever grateful to him.....

I appreciate your very kind words, my dear Ptah! It was an amazing journey....

50. I had that Herb Alpert album when I was a teenager in the 1960's
I particularly liked his rendition of A Taste of Honey.

I got that album in June of 1966. 40 years ago.

I especially like the shadows the bench cast.

34. Two pics I have handy.
My dogs at the end of a long day at the park.


I am so lucky to have this view from my porch.


I tried resizing this image several times, but it just would not work..

38. End of the day? They look like they're ready for the next round.
The long shadows they have are the only reassurance that the
end of the day is near.

And the second pic also suggests only a pause, not the end
of the day.

I like both of the photographs you chose to share.

Thank you, BrklynLiberal

51. I wish I could be sitting in that lawn chair, Joan.

I think of your road trip and recall past road trips of mine.

It's good to get out.

I hope your trail is happy.

'Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you 'till we meet again. '

Don't forget Glacier National Park:

53. Glacier National Park will have to wait a while.

My trip got rerouted, I'm picking up Sugar Smack in North Carolina. I think we'll be heading west on route 70 changing over to route 80 in Colorado. I'm sure we'll find interesting little things to detour us off of the main highways.
I plan to take DU along with me.
