Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
On one of our trips to Tucson, Arizona we drove south to the old mining town of Bisbee just past Tombstone near the border with Mexico. Founded in 1880 and known as the ‘Queen of the Copper Camps,’ Bisbee was once a thriving town… Continue Reading “A Stop by Bisbee in Blue and Yellow”
After weeks of rain we finally woke to clear skies and sunshine and I headed out back to catch the sunrise in the garden. While thus loitering in my bathrobe a male Anna’s Hummingbird showed up ready for breakfast quite unafraid. Excited, I snapped… Continue Reading “Hummingbirds in the Garden”
For this week’s photo prompt from Travel with Intent, ‘White,’ I looked no further than this bouquet. I picked it up at the grocery store for $5 and am still wowed by the star chrysanthemum. It was money well spent. ~ Susanne

On our road trip to Yellowstone last month we stopped by a number of places we might not otherwise visit. In Eastern Washington, it was the tiny town of Zillah for a look at the Teapot Dome Service Station, a charming piece of Americana. … Continue Reading “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Places People Visit”
I hope you enjoy these fanciful jellyfish as much as I did today at the Pt. Defiance Pacific Seas Aquarium. I thought they’d be a nice fit for the Sunday Challenge at ‘Travel with Intent,’ where this week’s word prompt is Blue. ~ Susanne
Okay so I made it up myself. I miss the Weekly Photo Challenge and decided to do my own to carry me through the week. The word is ‘orange’ of the sweet, juicy variety and also of the capital Orange variety, for here I… Continue Reading “Weekly Photo Challenge – Orange”
