Weekly Photo Challenge: Trio 2

I looked up yesterday and was very surprised by what I saw.  Now that the leaves in the big tree that grows next to my house are gone, I can see that it holds a huge bird’s nest.  I wonder what kind of bird made it.

I decided to show three views of the nest as a second Weekly Photo Challenge: Trio!

From Village to Town or City

When I took the photo of the mushrooms last week, their placement reminded me of a village.  Now they look like a mushroom town … or maybe they have already become a city! (The original “village” is at the bottom of this picture.)

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ornate

When I see the word ornate I think of the dolls I used to make as fundraisers for Amma’s humanitarian projects.  I wonder when, and if, I will start making them again!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat

As I filled this jack-o-lantern with candy for the trick or treaters who will soon be coming, I realized I had the object for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge.  My son, Sreejit, made this beautiful piece of art when he was five-years-old.  It has held treats on Halloween for the last 35 years!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Careful

One day in the mid-70’s, I was a passenger in a car being driven by an out-of-town visitor.  I became alarmed when the driver barreled through an intersection that had no stop or yield signs without slowing down.  When I talked to her about it later, she said in the city where she lived every intersection had one of those signs if you didn’t have the right-of-way.  While that is generally true in Seattle too, there were, and still are, plenty of streets that don’t have them.  It has been 40 years since that incident and it still serves as a reminder that I need to watch for unmarked intersections and be extra careful when driving through them.
