My sister and her
husband have been traveling

sending me photos
'from the road' in various
places ... and today

I'm sharing a few
outdoor views from Ketchikan ...

Photographs are hers

This is my 87thMisty Dawn started the meme and explains the rules here.

Daily Molly looks
for her fur-friend Jenke with
out success. Last week

workmen came to fix
up the place for new renters
... startling Molly

briefly until she
decided it might be safe
to check things inside

Friday morning when
Molly went to visit she
met a spotted pup ...

3 month Dalmation
named Aloha ... a tiny
wobbily critter

T-13 Window Views - Pink Roses

Make Time for Small Reflections

Thirteen window views
of pink roses from my yard
in 4 mosaics ...

I like each collage
for a different reason
and am curious

which you might prefer ...
suspecting most will agree
'natural' is best

yet the monochromes
definitely generate
added interest

for without color
other details capture my
total attention

Collaged straight out of the camera ...
