For Mundane Monday #185, my theme is balance.
I took this yesterday, hiking the beach with my daughter.
How would you photograph balance? Or what photograph does it make you think of?
Send your links and I will post them next week.

Last weeks theme was rats.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: snooze.
For the Ragtag Daily Post: past.
This is my sister and me in early 2012. She died on March 29, 2018, from breast cancer. She was 49.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: mentor.
A college friend of my parents’, who has known me since I was born, is a beloved mentor. Music, work, family, loss. With both my parents gone, I get to visit every year or two.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bask.
We got Princess Mittens and Boa Black at the same time, very different pound kittens. I was out with a complication of influenza (2003) and out for two months. My lungs were swollen and I just had to wait and rest until the swelling went down. Princess was killed by a car at age 10, but we still have Boa.
Princess was an expert at basking.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: bask.
Well, we were not warm in this picture…. it’s a basking position, but it certainly made me nervous. This is my son… GET OUT OF THERE! He wanted pictures. I took pictures quickly… OUT!
Last weekend my Aunt Pat and my Uncle Jim were visiting all the way from Virginia. It was lovely. On Sunday morning we hiked the beach, from Chetzemoka Park out to the lighthouse and back. It went from early am fog to sun during the hike.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: quaint.
We visited my friend Malene in Wisconsin, and she took us and her grandchildren to Nick Engelbert’s Grandview.
We may think of folk art as quaint or cute, but his art is amazing and on a grand scale. The house, the out building and a yard full of sculpture, all to explore. The house was closed so we did not go inside on this trip, but the outside is wonderous.
This is not the house. It’s just an outbuilding.
These are the arches in front of the house.
Amazing!
And sculptures all through the yard:
This is being restored.
Not just an elephant. It is political commentary.
Complex, humorous and my impression is certainly that this farmer/artist was a joyous worker!
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: panoply.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: slippery.
The front rocks at the lake slope down into the water. The rocks are terrifically slick when it first rains.
They are also slick when we try to step into the lake to swim.
We invented a new way to get in this year. On the edge of the water, go forward a bit and then…
slide in….
