This week’s challenge is to take a photo of yourself out of focus, with the background the important part of the photo. This is the grave of a child in one of the old cemeteries near where I live. There is no information on this girl; it simply says, “Louisa.”

Jake’s topic this Sunday is Window.
There’s nothing like a sunny, open window: indoor cat heaven.

I’m a bit late here for Cee’s Challenge…but I’m still in the window as this week’s challenge hasn’t been posted yet!
I saw this colorful cow in the ice cream store at the mall. What does this have to do with signs, you might ask?

The cow was wearing a sign on its back:

The topic of the Weekly Photo Challenge this week is Patterns. There are patterns everywhere, if you look for them: in nature, in man-made materials such as textiles, and in architecture. If you look for patterns you can see beauty everywhere you look, even in places where a first glance sees desolation or emptiness.

I’ve been absent from Jake’s Challenge the last couple of weeks, but I’m back! His topic this week is Tourist Attraction…what a great topic, Jake!
Last fall my cousin and her daughter came to visit from Colorado. They were only in Massachusetts a couple of days, but we managed to hit a couple of the big tourist attractions for my area: Plymouth (where the Pilgrims landed) and Quincy (birthplace of two U.S. Presidents).
We saw the Mayflower II, but we didn’t have time to go on the ship. It is a replica, as the original ship has been gone a long time!

On the day they left, we visited President John Adams home, Peacefield. President John Quincy Adams was born there and built a library on the grounds after his father had died. The library houses the bible made famous in the movie, “Amistad.” It was stolen years ago and recovered in a local gym locker!
