Coming in a little late but it looks like a very good challenge. Thanks for coming up with it, Jim.

I have a few from the neighborhood here.

OK, the flowers are nice, albeit "unusual," which
is not a bad thing, and I like the artistry of
you metal working neighbor, but truth be told,
I L-O-V-E your wood work!

Thought I would do a few pictures showing our yard. One of the wonderful things with the Spring around this area are the Rhodies. We really enjoy the yard and I'm always finding pictures to take.
Another attraction, just 15 minutes from home is the town Mukilteo on Puget Sound. Really nice park with a beach, lighthouse, and rather quaint Sound side small town just steps away.
Last, are some pictures from the Japanese Garden in Seattle's Arboretum. Again, relatively close to home.

Beautiful series, Lee. Love your Rhodies, but Puget
Sound and that Japanese Garden is awesome!

some more images from Gettysburg Battlefield.

Thanks again, Jim, for hosting!

158 Years ago, there would have been Federal Soldiers (early in the skirmish) or Confederate Soldiers (late in the day of July 2) aiming their rifles at you from crevices like this.

Breath taking images, Jim. Such beauty all around,
but I have to decline your offer to "come on up."

Even if I did survive going up all those stairs, I'd
never survive the winter...lol

LOL Tim, thanks

These are all from Hickory Nut Mountain, a short Drive from Home, the Lake shown is Lake Ouachita.

Lovely country there, Lesley...Bill and I were there years ago when his parents lived there...Camped on Mt. Royal with the children! Remember a wicked thunder storm on that Mt. kids were really ecstatic to see that lightening and ear shattering thunder!!
