#WeekendCoffeeShare: Nagging Thoughts


Okay, I’m going to make this quick. It might be the caffeine talking because I’ve been feeling jittery, like I’m walking on a wire. Maybe I’ve been having too much coffee lately, trying to stave off the tiredness. So excuse me if I start talking in bullet points.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155: On the Water


This week, on Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155, John from Journeys with Johnbo challenged us to share some photos for the topic of On the Water.

I agree with John, people, including me, tend to gravitate toward water. For me, the reason is when there is water, the temperature tends to be a little cooler especially on the a hot day.

This photo was taken when I went hiking at an elevation of 10,000 feet. It was so hot that day, I remember, but at 10,000 feet, it was about 15 degrees cooler.

Water is almost mandatory when I am searching for a new place to hike, for this reason – a great photo op.
