Are the seals placid? It’s hard to tell, since I am really far away on the beach, with a Panasonic DMZ-FZ150. It has a 24X optical zoom. The seals are way out in Puget Sound. I can hear them when they roar. They really like the sun and this island is gone when the tide is in.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: placid.
I do think these are unique pillars. What sort holds up your castle and what does one call these? I know they are not Corinthian or Doric and we’ve pretty much plumbed my list of pillar types. They all look very muscular and very tired.
I took these in March 2022 in a castle.

This was taken earlier on my walk out on Marrowstone Island than the photograph for the Ragtag Daily Prompt today. The tide was out further and everyone was enjoying the sun. Relaxed core and relaxing to the core.
The tide is in a bit more here.
The container ships look so huge when I am next to them. They don’t on the Sound, though. What do the seals think?
These two eagles were high above me on the North Beach bluff. So when I zoomed in, I thought, oh, good, majestic eagles! A pair!
Oh, um. More silly and derp and grumpy than majestic. They remind me of the Highlights cartoon, Goofus and Gallent. Though maybe this is Goofus and Grumpy. I guess eagles can be silly and grumpy too. They look more like siblings than a couple to me.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: raptor.
My daughter and I went to Cinque Terre in Italy. What fantastic architecture! Five small towns perched along the Mediterranean.
And perched long before cars, so the streets are cobbled and narrow. No cars.
Trains stop at each of the towns. We walked the open part of the trail connecting them. It must be some amazing work to maintain.
Afterwards we took turns swimming, found a place for dinner, and took the train back to Pisa.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: architecture.
There aren’t two roads diverged before me
But a fan of roads and possibilities
Poetry and writing, music and medicine,
Art and quilting, paints and knitting,
Cats and travel, dance and friends.
I spread the fan with joy
as life opens like a flower.
Not two roads, neither one best
but the daily gift of the sunrise and a song.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: observe.
We do want to escape fear. We want to escape to somewhere else. No more deaths of innocents, any innocents. Escape, but send the message first: don’t let people die of thirst, do not, do not. Please, do not.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: escapism.
Our hike two days ago was not up the scree slope, but seemed built of scree.
Here is the down view.
Going up to our right was the slope.
To our left was the view.
The little side trails led to the waterfalls.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: scree.
Beautiful trees changing in the fall.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day.
We are having wet cool cloudy dark days and then bright blue sunny but still fairly cool days. I took this on a beach walk last week at the top of the stairs at Fort Worden. Gorgeous!
