Weekly Photo Challenge: Eerie
…a photo doesn’t have to be blatantly macabre to be eerie. But it can have a mysterious, otherworldly vibe — the viewer wonders what lurks in the shadows. Something eerie has a story to tell — one you aren’t quite sure you want to know. Cheri – The Daily Post The night before the…

Travel Theme: Sweet
Sometimes revenge is a little sweet… Halfway through our first hike in New Mexico Ryan stepped off the main trail and landed right on a low growing Prickly Pear Cactus. It’s needle sharp spines buried so deeply into his shoes, socks and skin that it took a pair of pliers to clear the last ones out of the rubber soles. At lunch the first…

What I Like About Travel

A Word A Week: Face
This week Sue’s dictionary has opened to the word FACE and I have two faces to post from a memorable trip to Santa Fe, NM. This first “face” was a spooky surprise in the rocks during a visit to Bandelier National Monument. We were the only people on the trail at dusk as a…
