Hello,
Skip and I just returned from a trip to the state of Washington. I have "lots" of pictures, but will try to post only the "best" ones here. I have also posted some colorful plant and flower pictures in the Garden Thread. I hope you enjoy our trip to Washington!
We spent a lot of time driving through the western part of Washington which is really spectacular.
BEAUTIFUL LAKES
WATERFALLS AND STREAMS, TOO!
BREATHTAKING DRIVES
ENORMOUS TREES!

There are some very tall mountains in Washington. Two very famous ones are Mt. Rainier and the volcano Mt. St. Helens. After we saw Mt. Rainier, we kept seeing it other times, too! It became a joke with Skip and me that Mt. Rainier was "following us."
MT. RAINIER
MT. ST. HELENS
Skip at the lookout point for Mt. St. Helens with, yes, Mt. Rainier, in the background!!
We did venture into Seattle and celebrated our 17th Anniversary with a delightful meal at the restaurant atop the Space Needle. The restaurant revolves and we had great views of Seattle.

We drove to the west coast of Washington and stayed at Pacific Beach. I was able to get some fairly good photos of the sunset on the Pacific Ocean. This is the best.
And the Pacific Ocean the next morning.
PARTING SHOTS
A spider web glisstening with dew, photo by Skip, on the foggy morning we left.
We flew over on a military plane, a C-40 and back on the same plane. Flying to Washington (Whidbey Island), we only had 3 passangers and crew and returning, after a stop in El Centro, CA, we had the same three passengers , Skip, me and another military retiree.
Skip took my picture on the plane!
And look who is peeking out at me from the seat in front of me!
We found a great place to board our dogs, Shadow and Sandy, while we were gone. They got a lot of attention but were glad to see SKip and me.
One of the ladies who took care of our "babies."
We had a wonderful trip and great weather the whole time. Just a little fog that last morning. Never any rain and temps in the 70's and cool at night! Perfect week!
Hugs,
Prissy

PRISSY, your pictures are just utterly fantastic. We are so lucky we have such a beautiful country. When people don't leave their own state to see all this beauty they are missing out on so much! I didn't see any pictures of the fish place so I guess you didn't find it! Thank you for letting us share in your wonderful vacation!

Thanks Angela, Pepe, and Frankie and....
Also, Dick, Lorraine, Woody, AC, and Linda for your kind words about our Washington photos.
I think I'm getting better at using the digital, and of course, Skip always gets some fantastic pictures!! We just have to remember to keep the camera charged and download before the camera says the "card is full;" no room for more pictures!
Here are a few more random shots from our trip:
When we stopped briefly at the base in El Centro, CA, on our flight home, there was an Osprey, an unusual looking air craft out on the air field.
Lighthouse near Pacific Beach
Unusual glass lights outside the Glass Museum in Tacoma

Debi, Sasha, & Mary,
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos. We really had a great time.
Sasha,
Love that Fall Clay!!
Debi,
We bought my camera from CostCo. I will PM you more about it later. I do know that Clandy, Meesa, and possibly Heather have recently bought really fine digitals for getting good pictures. I will check to see what they bought also. I will say I have not been able to get a good shot of Clay on stage with my new digital. It may be that I don't know what setting to use.
I agree that the spider web picture by Skip is really good. If there is a photo contest for nature shots, I may enter that for him.
Mary,
I know you have been to some interesting places. I would love to see some of your photos, too, if possible.
Hugs,
Prissy

Hello all,
I just received this email photo from family in Alaska. My brother and family litteraly live on a mountain top outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. They have lived there for over 40 years. There home is a two story Swiss Chalet type log cabin with a view of Mt. McKinnley. This photo is of their granddaughter, Mary and the manger.
This is a different manger and a different Mary.
It is a hay manger that they had just made for the goats winter hay. They finished it just in time for the forth coming snow.

I don't post here as often as I should, but I do check this thread daily.
I love all the pictures from various parts of the country. So very, very interesting and y'all have some great ones to share!
My hubby and I went to a Fall Fair in Western Maine last week. I thought I would share with you how popular this event is here in Maine. Here are some pics of the camping area that is across the street from the fair. Look at the number of campers!! And this is only one small sampling of the number of campers there.
You can see the fairgrounds in the background.

Since I have been home, I have been working on setting up some more Halloween decorations.

Deanna,
Love your photos!! And you know I love Halloween!! I have just about finished decorating. Maybe we should revive the Halloween thread from last year!!!
Hugs,
Prissy
PS: Sasha, Skip keeps telling me to study the manual for my digital!! Maybe I could learn what I'm doing wrong with the Clay stage photos!!

CRUISE PART 1
We got back from our cruise to Jamacia, Grand Caymon, and Cozumel on Sunday - as requested, here are some pictures (they are not all of scenery, but I didn't know where else to post them - I have pictures of Food for Pepe and Evelyn!
)
This is a shot of SeaWolf Park in Galveston, Texas, as we were leaving the Galveston harbor - the park has a WWII destroyer and a submarine that may be toured:
This was the view from our room on Monday morning - a little overcast, and just miles and miles of ocean - it took 2 days to get to Jamacia!!!
This was taken at the Captain's cocktail party the first night onboard (we traveled with a group of 20 frineds from our town). That is me on the far right:
We enjoyed the track on the upper deck of the ship every day - this is a picture of Lewis
I did not realize that the island of Jamacia is mostly mountains - but it is - we visited a coffee/pineapple/fruit plantation, where we were cooked a lunch of Jerk Chicken, rice with red beans, and greens cooked with asparagus - a traditional Jamacian meal, we were told:
I took this picture, because these are NOT grapefruit - they are lemons!!! All of the plants were huge!
A picture for me and for Pepe, because we both love ferns (this is Lewis again!):
This is me in front of the building where we had lunch:
This shot shows how the land is terraced to grow the coffe and pineapples:
End of Cruise Part 1 - I don't want to lose a long post, so I am breaking it up!

CRUISE PART 2
I know anyone who has ever been on a cruise has had this done for them, but it is still fun to see - our Steward rolled towels into a different animal every night
- I took pictures of a couple of my favorites - this elephant was wearing my extra pair of reading glasses when I came in!
You cannot dock in Grand Caymon right now because all of the docks were damaged in hurricanes last year - we had to take small boats into the island - I took this one of our ship as we were going into shore:
This is a picture of us on the dock in Grand Caymen with our ship in the background:
This was taken from a "semi-submarine" - we toured a coral reef for over an hour - you can't really tell, but the fish in the picture was about 5 feet long:
You can barely see the diver feeding the fish outside of our window!
Lewis took this picture of a sunset from our room balcony:
