Traveling this weekend to be with my daughters for a very special occasion!
Sunday Stills: What a Long, Strange #RoadTrip It’s Been
If you need a hint, this week's theme is about road trips! I like to call it road-trippin! This week, show and tell us your favorite sights and highlights you've seen along the road this summer, this year, or from your archives. "Road trips required a couple of things: a well-balanced diet of caffeine, salt … Continue reading Sunday Stills: What a Long, Strange #RoadTrip It’s Been
Sunday Stills: Beautiful #Beaches That Float My Boat
We are visiting southern California this week and spending time with family and friends. I thought I would share some old and new beach photos to highlight this week’s Sunday Stills theme “Beautiful Beaches.”

Sunday Stills: Favorite #Vacation Spot
To wrap up the month of May at Sunday Stills, let’s share our favorite vacation spots. As more of the world gets vaccinated against Covid-19, masks are coming off and the world is opening up!

Sunday Stills: The Rise and Set of the Sun
Sharp-eyed bloggers may remember this theme offered by the now-defunct WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge a few years ago. I thought it would fun to challenge ourselves again by sharing our images of sunsets and sunrises as we celebrate yesterday’s solstice. “There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss … Continue reading Sunday Stills: The Rise and Set of the Sun
Sunday Stills: Life in a #Waterworld
Memorial Day in the US is the traditional start to summer, which brings throngs of people to lakes, rivers and oceans. Perhaps, but not in 2020… ...as the threats of exposure and illness from the coronavirus keep people home and away from their favorite leisure spaces. Even as most US states have opened up for … Continue reading Sunday Stills: Life in a #Waterworld
Sunday Stills: The Legacy of Favorite #Places
Friday was the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of the official state legal lockdown here in California. It was a beautiful sunny day with mild temperatures. My neighbor and I walked our dogs, of course keeping the appropriate 6-feet of social distance. I was struck by how many … Continue reading Sunday Stills: The Legacy of Favorite #Places

Wordy Wednesday: Summer Blues
The middle of July finds me reflecting on the fact that half of my summer is gone! Most of you know, it has been a very different summer for me as I recover from foot surgery, spending almost two months in a cast. Prior to the early June surgery date, I spent a few weekends … Continue reading Wordy Wednesday: Summer Blues
On the Edge of Unusual
Today I am catching up with my own Sunday Stills photo challenge. I missed the first two weeks in June due to travel and foot surgery, while Hugh graciously hosted. If you recall, the first two June themes were “edge” and “unusual.” I wanted to take this opportunity to share a little about the beginning … Continue reading On the Edge of Unusual
Sunday Stills: #Gates to Fun
Today’s photo challenge is that indeed, at least for me. I had a whopping total of five gates in my vast digital photo file, including one I had posted over 4 years ago! I found lots of doors, windows, fences, and marinas with ramps, but few gates. To assist with inspiration for this week's Sunday … Continue reading Sunday Stills: #Gates to Fun
Squares in September: Pink #Plumeria
I am excited to contribute to Becky's photo challenge Squares in September, In the Pink! While in San Diego for my 40th high school reunion last week, we stayed at my daughter's house. All around her neighborhood are yards and gardens lush with plumeria, my other favorite flower! I love how this cluster peeked at me … Continue reading Squares in September: Pink #Plumeria
Sunday Stills: Back to #School
Last week I took a short break from Sunday Stills to travel to San Diego for my high school’s 40th year class reunion (1978). Did you enjoy the break? I know a few bloggers posted a couple of Sunday Stills’ favorites! By the looks of my e-mail inbox, I see more folks are posting more … Continue reading Sunday Stills: Back to #School
