Just returned yesterday from a motorcycle trip over to Cape May, NJ. First time for my hubby to ride on a ferry.

I have been on the Cape May ferry a few times -- I couldn't convince DH to go on it.

Daughter and Golden are beautiful.

Thank you! There were a lot of cool cars there, antiques, classics, custom, newer and everything in between. :)

We have an Oriole who has made a home in the neighbor's jungle this year. Yesterday we sat outside for awhile and I forgot to take my camera out with me -- sure enough -- he/she sat on a branch for a couple of minutes.

Until the rains moved in this afternoon, we sat outside for a few hours -- took my camera with me -- he/she didn't show up.

I think that's one of Murphys Laws. :)

I know.

Lovely shots of that exotic bird Dileep and the Mormon temple looks to be real - I had to look it up as it looks like icing on a cake.

Week at work in Chicago.

 

Sodium streetlights heat up the streets shortly after sunset.

 

Not sure I would have taken this had it been on the inside of the window.

That is the only way I would take a picture of a spider.

We love Alaska and have done quite a few cruises to there.

Now with my mobility issues, it is hard for us to get there -- no direct flights.

Just got back from my first visit to Colorado. Great area!! Enjoyed very much. Am working on our planned late March-April 2015 Africa (Kenya-Zanzibar-Madagascar-South Africa-Botswana) adventure. Now, back to work!! Got to fund these travels.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

Back from doing a 14-day Celebrity Solstice, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure on this ship and getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1974139

for much more information and lots of wonderful pictures on these amazing sights in this great part of the world. Now at 66,393 views for this fun posting.

 

 

For staying in Colorado Springs, Co., with our fellow Aust.-NZ cruise travelers, John and Susan, one of the first super highlights was visiting the U.S. Air Force Academy where two of their daughters graduated. The Chapel is in the background with a plane in the foreground. Second is my wife, Penny, on the left, shown with Susan, as we were traveling up the Pike’s Peak Cog Railroad near Manitou Springs. We had a front-row seat right next to where the engineer was guiding this historic train on this super scenic route to the top of this famed 14,110’ mountain. Third is one of the dramatic rock formations within the “Garden of the Gods” inside the City of Colorado Springs. Amazing sights there in Colorado!!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also visited other key parts of central Colorado, including Boulder, Denver, Crested Butte and Breckenridge. First is some of the drama near Crested Butte with their wild flowers at the peak of the season and a stream and mountains in the background. Second is a wonderful and filling breakfast in Breckenridge with poached eggs, real, slow-cooked corned beef hash, potatoes and topped with classic Hollandaise sauce. What else to eat at an altitude of nearly two miles up?? Finally, here is the dramatic view as we are crossing the Continental Divide at Hoosier Pass at an 11,539’ high viewpoint. The toughest part? Narrowing all of my great views and experiences down to only six summary pictures.:

What is this under the Hollandaise sauce? Looks like something I would like to try... :D

Thursday's day trip to Webster's Falls in the Spencer Gorge / Webster's Falls Conservation area near Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Gorgeous waterfall. Something we don't have here in the desert.

Appreciate the wise and kind comment from Krazy Kruizers. That super frequent poster must be very smart!! Am I right??

 

For what is under the Hollandaise sauce' date=' that is corned beef. [b']The real stuff!![/b] Not the canned, average stuff. They take about 14-hours to super slow cook that corned beef and then put it together in a wonderful manner. Really was super good. It was breakfast and lunch rolled into just one wonderful, memorable meal.

 

Now working on our planned mid March-mid April 2015 Africa (Kenya-Zanzibar-Madagascar-South Africa-Botswana) adventure. Had lunch Wednesday with the retired director of the Columbus who has taken twelve trips to Africa and worked with Jack Hanna. Fun doing that future research!!

 

Below are a few more Colorado views, including some added good food items to share. Low calories when done on this photo board.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Here is a wonderful Colorado rack of lamb at a great dining place in Crested Butte only seating 35 lucky customers. Second is a picture of the chef in his kitchen giving me the thumbs up after I told him how much we loved the food at Soupson. Super dining!!:

 

 

 

 

 

Some nice architectural character and flowers along the main street in Crested Butte, Colorado.:

 

 

 

My wife and our friend/host at the top of Pike's Peak with the cog-rail car in the background while visiting this 14,000+ "high".:

 

 

 

In the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs, here is a climber going up the peaks in this amazing and scenic park.:

 

 

 

More food? Yes! In Breckenridge, it was lunch time and here is the owner or she calls herself, the Mama Bear, serving the crab cake sliders with mac & cheese. Good? Yes, super delightful, again! Great Colorado dining during our whole trip.:

Maybe not smart -- just wise for my old age.

Have belonged to CC since 2001. Used to travel and cruise quite a lot. Health issues have caught up with DH and me. So we can't cruise like we used -- 4 and 5 cruises of 14 days and longer.

Now I enjoy seeing pictures of where everyone is traveling and cruising to.

YES!! Being wise is much, much better than only being "smart". There are lots of so-called smart people who do not have the wisdom and judgement to sort "IT" all out, put things in the proper perspective, etc. Keep up the great work and sharing.

Did a June 7-19, 2011, Celebrity Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of nice visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at 177,858 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:
