For this week’s photo challenge, Forces of Nature, I’m sharing photos of my last snow storm in the Washington D.C. area before moving to Los Angeles. The snow was a force to be reckoned with! Left us without power for several days; roads were a mess; the Federal Government closed for a week, as did everything else. We had to go to a hotel for a few days to be safe. All this because the D.C. metro area is totally unprepared to handle snow. Just as Los Angeles can’t handle rain!! 🙂
Intricate is the theme for this week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge. Here is my contribution.
1. “Endless V” – Sculpture by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, at Beverly Hills Garden Park.
2. Fig Tree with massive, intricate roots, in Beverly Hills, CA.
3. Detail of “Airplane Parts” sculpture by Nancy Rubins. Made of scraps of old airplanes wired together into a massive junk tree — 25 feet tall and 65 feet across.
4. “The Lightning’s Bride” — Elliott Hundley’s panel using wood, pins , metal, paper, plastic, and paintings.
The Daily Post’s photo challenge this week asks us to share our photographs that have captured motion.

This week’s challenge is Early Bird. That’s a difficult one for me because I’m always late so the whole concept of early bird escapes me. I am also a night owl, who can never bring myself to wake up in time to see the sunrise. Unless I’m jet lagged, of course, which was the case when I took these photographs from my hotel room balcony in Ravello, Italy.
For this week’s photo challenge Krista asks us to show our interpretation of Afloat.
Like footprints in the sand, quickly washed by waves, many things in life are ephemeral: youth, success, health, wealth, friendships, all can be here one day, gone the next…
“For this week’s photo challenge, share with us a photo that expresses something fresh.”
This week’s Photo Challenge is Wall. Here is a variety of walls –ancient, new, fun, weird, musical–from my collection.
This week, Michele, of the Daily Post, invites us to “share a group of photos where orange is either the dominant color, or provides a bold highlight.” Easy!

Jy is wat jy dink - nie wat jy dink jy is nie. Dit help soms om hardop te lag vir wat jy dink of dink jy is.
