This is for Photrablogger Mundane Monday #47, a visit to Tacoma to see one of our high school girls take second in state wrestling and a walk to the Museum of Glass and the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. It was a beautiful day!

Non compos mentis
This is for the Ronovan Writes weekly haiku #51, prompt words future and give. I have been reading Walt Kelley’s Pogo again. One strip yesterday worked it’s way from ptarmagin and ptruly and pteam all the way to a pun involving “non compass Memphis” in just four panels. Talk about away with words! I am studying latin again in my spare time, so I about fell off my chair laughing. Hooray for Mr. Kelly!

I took the photograph last summer camping on Marrowstone Island.
Ha, the joke is on me. That’s the June 2015 challenge. I’m leaving it up……
Light box
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #43, I think….doing this on a smart phone.
I love the light coming from inside…
Windows
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday Challenge #40. I took this in Wenatchee when we were staying at the Red Lion. The light in the early morning through the angular windows contrasting with the curved tables and chairs….
Graffiti 1
This is for Photrabloggers Mundane Monday #38, a picture from a train returning from Michigan to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington in 2014. It was amazing to see the country pass before my eyes, sometimes slow and sometimes hurtling along to make up time in the night….
Gleaning
This is for Ronovanwrites weekly haiku challenge #70, with prompt words crane and gold.

Dunes National Park
I lived in Alamosa, Colorado for three years, at 7500 feet in the San Luis Valley, land of cool sunshine. The sandhill cranes would migrate through and glean the potato fields, flocks with thousands. There were more cranes than people at the height of migration. And in the northeastern corner of the Valley, surrounded by the Sangro de Cristo Mountains and the San Juans, is the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, with dunes up to 600 feet high. We were surrounded at 7500 feet by 14,000 foot peaks and passes out the Valley in all four directions. It is an amazing place.
I took the photo in 2007 at the dunes: I chose this one to try to give an idea of the scale…..we had just climbed up to the top of the first dunes….

Mondane Monday from a train
This is for Photrablogger’s Mundane Monday Challenge #14, different elements in the frame and colors. I took this on the train on the way back from Chicago to Spokane, WA. This was in North Dakota. The train was moving, thus the blurry foreground. I like how different the colorsΒ and mood are are from Jithin’s.
Lit up II
Here is another picture of the park by the MarQueen Hotel, lit up with the Seahawk’s colors, early last Tuesday. I like the reflection of the coffee shop overlying the lit up park.
