Rare pierces Posted December 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Pictures taken between Monday, December 18 and Sunday, December 24. Week 51. The end is near...er! (Again, the end of 2023. No asteroids expected.) Holiday madness is everywhere! Be a journalist! Show us what's going on around you! Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Rare pierces Posted December 23, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Sometimes nature gives you a gift. Late Friday afternoon, Kim and I were driving up to our favorite Mexican restaurant for an early dinner when I glimpsed a splash of color through the trees. It was a rainbow but appeared as a colored spike due to the rain falling from a very low cloud cover near the mountains and the low angle of the sun shining from a clear western horizon. There was nowhere to pull off to get a better view and the glimpses we got showed it fading away. As we neared the small airport on our route, the rain ahead of us started up again and the colors came back brighter than before. I pulled into the airport parking lot, jumped out and caught this odd example of nature’s beauty before it had a chance to fade away again.

Rare TLCOhio Posted December 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Out in Kansas for Christmas. Got snow yesterday morning and more snow coming today. Cheating in with one pix from Dec. 25 together with most of them from a couple days prior. Nice to have a White Christmas!! See visual below as proof. On our way here, spent a couple days in Kansas City, including at the historic Raphael Hotel overlooking the charming Country Club Plaza area. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Sydney to NZ/Auckland Adventure, live/blog 2014 sampling/details with many exciting visuals and key highlights.

The lighted buildings in Kansas City's Country Club Plaza are wonderfully inspiring for this holiday period.: To get ready for exploring India's Golden Triangle in February before boarding the Silver Moon in Mumbai, I visited the Kansas City Nelson-Atkins Museum with a nice collection of art from India and South Asia as shown below.: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
