Ambiance is “the character and atmosphere of a place.”

Our blog sites create their own ambiance, where we bloggers carefully craft our pages to be inviting and a warm place to visit.

Each blogger creates his or her own character (some might call it a brand), by choosing a nice theme, compelling images and colors they love. In a previous post, I offered some easy ways to refresh your website.

With that idea, I submit for the weekly photo challenge, the Ambience  created when spending face time with a fellow blogger.

A little ambiance next to the fire!

Liesbet and I met by way of a blogosphere introduction through Janis of Retirementally Challenged.

Liesbet and Mark spent two nights with us in between house sits. They recently spent a few months in Rocklin, a suburb of Roseville, CA. They had not yet visited the American River Bike Trail, so on a sunny, cold day, we took a walk along the trail and beheld a very full American River. They are off to the north Bay area for their next adventure!

  2. A great interpretation of the theme, I would say. 🙂 It was so nice meeting you and your blogger husband, Terri. And the furry ones as well, of course. Thanks again for being our hosts and for the shout-out! Enjoy this sunny weekend, and your new camera!! PS: our new home had two bird feeders and about five hummingbirds flying on and off constantly, so I will be thinking a lot about you.

  8. What a delightful treat to see you and Liesbet together in this blogpost. And with a shout-out to my blog as a cherry on top! Feeling the love. Wish I could have been there with Liesbet and Mark to spend time with you and Hans and take Aero for a long walk on a cool winter’s day in those beautiful surrounds. Hug 🤗

    1. Aww, thanks, Lisa! I didn’t realize you and Liesbet were friends and had sailed together. The world is a TINY place in some ways. You can visit me in Sacramento ANY TIME!! And I’ll just rent a helicopter and drop in on you on the ocean someday ala I Love Lucy 🙂 Big hugs back!!

  9. Just found your blog! I’m still working to create a unique “ambiance,” and hadn’t given much thought to actually meeting another real-live blogger in person, so this was an eye-opening preview of things to come. Thanks for sharing!

  11. I’m am so happy that you were able to arrange a meet up with Liesbet! I hope that one day I will be able to meet her and her husband too. Funny, today my husband and I were able to get together with Kathy and Thom (SMART Living 365) for lunch in Indian Wells, close to Palm Springs. I love, love blogging meet-ups!

  15. I have done the same thing Terri and was so happy when I met a fellow blogger and his wife when my husband and I visited them in Canada. We also met a fellow blogger during our trip to China, which was equally successful. It’s so much fun and you have a great foundation on which to draw from the get-go. Glad it worked out for you too!

  16. Nice post. Liked the idea. I know it makes me feel good when sharing a musical ambience on my blog where others can also enjoy my discoveries and interests. It would be fun to visit sometime when we visit California.
