Once in awhile, I realize how lucky I am to live in Chicago. There is an art student in some part of the world who would love to see this sculpture in person, but for whatever reason, won’t be able to make the trip. But I could theoretically see it every day. There are blessings like this is your life, too, if you know where (and how) to look.

Amboseli National Park is a national park in Kenya that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border. It has great views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
Almost 85 percent of the ice cover on Kilimanjaro disappeared between October 1912 and June 2011. At the current rate, most of the ice on Kilimanjaro will disappear by 2040. 😢
“The Snows of Kilimanjaro” is a short story by Ernest Hemingway.
The lobster traps are stacked on the pier awaiting transfer to a lobster boat one nippy morning in beautiful Belfast Harbor, Maine. I watch from the working harbor's dock as a Lobsterman transfers his traps to his boat.
May the artwork bring to your soul the joy and independence that living free -- thinking, speaking, and journeying -- engenders, nurtures, and strengthens.
When I first saw Hughes House, the 1898 home (now a museum) built by the Pacific Ocean near Port Orford, OR, I thought, "This is a place to grow up in, be a child in, run about and play in!"
And it is good to know that, at one time and for awhile, there was a family in this house, there were children, and they did run and play through this magical place.
It was red rock country, all right, but not limited to that. The surface of the rocks and cliffs caught light, absorbed shadows, in such a way that an array of colors set forth before the viewer.
And they didn't just stay that way. As the light shifted and changed, so did the colors of the canyon.
Nature refuses to be circumscribed and classified.
The historic Hamilton House is located on 50 acres of land overlooking the Salmon Falls River in South Berwick, Maine adjacent to Vaughn Woods State Park.

With a chilling breeze coming into the harbor, from the open ocean, I pulled on an extra layer of clothing as I prepared for a scenic walk around the beautiful waterfront of Belfast, Maine.
Hey, I’m going to be in #Cinncinnati the end of next month to visit the National Museum of The USAF. The Reds are playing a home stand so baseball is definitely on the agenda and we’re crossing into KY for a distillery tour but that’s about it. Anyone have any idea(s) on other things to see/do? #Ohio#Travel
Off to Switzerland tonight. The problem with a late evening flight is that I get a bit edgy, always watching the clock.
But it's a good set of flights with Emirates, both in Airbus A380s (great planes) and with three hours layover in Dubai. I prefer having three hours there rather than, say, two hours, as it takes a while to get through the airport.
One day I will decide I've had enough of these long flights to Europe and draw a line under them. But not quite yet.
