2017--A YEAR FILLED WITH DELIGHTFUL MEMORIES!!

As one who jumps with excitement at the mere thought of traveling anywhere in the U.S. and beyond, I've loved photographing different sights along the way.  Photography is a relatively new hobby for me, and I don't own an expensive camera, but I sure have fun clicking away with the one I have. 

Here are just a few of my highlights of 2017.  It was a

wonderful year for travel,

near and far--thanks to kind

and generous family and friends!!

Make your own kind of music, and ENJOY!!

IMAGINARY ANIMALS EVERYWHERE, AND THE REAL ONES TOO!!

J.K. ROWLING, the author of countless Harry Potter stories,

once commented, "Always have a vivid imagination, for you never know when you might need it." My imagination stops me in my tracks at times, especially when it comes to animals. I might not even be thinking of them, and then all of a sudden . . . . they show up in UNEXPECTED FORMS.

 And sometimes when I show other people photos of what I've observed, they have very different impressions. To me it's fascinating.

Here are some fun photos I took of my intriguing, unusual animals, followed by other more conventional, real ones. I hope you have a vivid imagination too, and an appreciation of animals.
