Day 10 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Cycle, suggested by @agilelisa
I miss the annual Providence Bridge Pedal in Portland. This photo (that arm on the left bothers me) from 2014 of cyclists stopping for the view from the Fremont Bridge, normally busy with freeway traffic.
Day 9 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Language, suggested by @thedimpause
If it wasn’t for the pictures of the food in this Kyoto restaurant, we would not have eaten.
Day 8 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Yonder, suggested by @jidabug
Inverness, CA.
Wednesday of last week I went back over to Lahaina to spend the day volunteering. It was hot, very hot, but rewarding. As I drove home I was reflecting on where I had been for the day. I had traveled across a good part of Maui in traveling from my home to Lahaina. Let me try and give some perspective… My home is on the north east shore of Maui.
🩻 A hospital goes from a place that I rarely see, to one that becomes quite familiar. A chest X-ray just completed this lunchtime, with a follow up doctor’s visit tomorrow morning. All to see how my healing from pneumonia is progressing.

The audience in Portland welcoming His Holiness the Dalai Lama, 2013.
Note to self: Do actually look at your ToDo list! 🤦🏼♂️
Day 6 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Well, suggested by @val
I think that this must have been a well? Now inside a hotel on Lake Como.
I stepped outside this evening to a clear night sky, and there traveling overhead was a trail of Starlink satellites. That was the first time that I had seen them. It looked like a trail of Christmas lights floating across the sky. It was quite a sight. I’m now on the look out for the next sighting with the aid of this website.
I like Manuel Moreale’s analogy of seeing the online world as a mirror of the physical one.
Day 5 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Forest, suggested by @ovr
The woodland leading down to the river Avon from Durdham Downs in Bristol, my stomping ground when I was growing up.
Sunset this evening from our lanai.
I spent yesterday hiking Haleakalā Crater with a friend. The mountain sits at just over 10,000ft in altitude. The crater that is there today is not a classic volcanic crater, but rather a large erosional valley. It is believed that two valleys, Ko‘olau to the north and Kaupō to the south, expanded into the remains of a much larger volcano, possibly 12,000ft high, creating the crater that is there today.

😮💨 Exhausted but happy after a day hiking through Haleakala crater today.

Day 3 of the September Photoblogging Challenge: Precious, suggested by @odd.
Precious memories of past travels, this in Nepal, 1989 (photo of slide).
I spent this afternoon working in our yard. As an aside from this story, I have never quite got use to Americans calling what surrounds their house a yard. In the UK it is a garden and when you are working out there, you are gardening.
Anyway, I was out in our yard pushing a wheelbarrow backwards and forwards, going to the shed for tools, and was wondering how far I was traveling just by walking around the garden. In steps (pun not intended) my Apple Watch. I set it to measure an open ended walk, and carried on working.
A little while later a vibration on my wrist told me that I had just hit the one mile mark. I was really quite surprised, and it showed me the exercise that I can do just by being in the garden.
