This week’s photo challenge is Home. Perhaps the most interesting home I’ve ever seen during my travels was that of a 95-year-old monk in the Himalayas of Nepal. Here at over 14,000 feet lives the “cave monk” of Manang. He has lived here and given blessings to those who seek them for many years. Here is his home built into the rocks… View inside his home…. View looking outside from his home down to the village of Manang…. To see […]

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” ― Albert Camus I took these photos today on my walk around Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Normally the lake is close to freezing by now and we have snow. (The photo above is not snow but foam from the lake). Global climate change is getting the better of our winter. Wish it would stop. This post is in response to the Weekly Photo […]

Today’s WordPress Photo Challenge topic is foreign so I thought I’d share a photo in which I was the one who was “foreign”. I had just climbed up to the top of the Great Wall of China through a relatively unknown back route and as soon as I stepped upon this mighty feat of engineering, I was swarmed by some native Chinese women who wanted to take their picture with me, their friendly blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign friend. I say, “Why […]

These photos were taken in Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina. I never took much notice of them due to my shaded face but felt they would be a great representation of this week’s Photo Challenge: Silhouette. Am I the silhouette or the group of three in the background? This post is in honor if the Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette. To see more entries click here.

J’adore cheese and found myself in heaven during a week-long stay in the French Alps. Hiking and eating as much fromage as possible! Here is some local cheese from Savoie for sale at a farmer’s market. I could have bought it all! This post is in response to Jakesprinter’s Sunday Post: Delicious. To see more entries, click here.
