9July2026 - FB is pretty much on my rear view mirror now, except for "Following" other photographers and artists/craftspersons. I also check my FB Memories most mornings since I've been so bad at organizing and saving my photos. 27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...October2025 - I'm back... (7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

Tops #5 - the Arches...
I took a bunch of jeepney photos when we were waiting for a Sinulog parade in January. and I uploaded a bunch of them just now. I was wanting to zoom in and focus on the colors, metalwork, the owner/driver names and other personalized things on them. The first one, the amazing SalingSing jeepney, had so many of what I love about jeepneys that I just kept the whole image. You can just zoom in and look at the different things. The way the paint jobs cover the different metal parts of jeepneys reminded me of my train boxcar photo shoots. I also like the silver color tubular trims. I included the two darker jeepneys in part because of the raindrops I saw when I zoomed in. On and on...

Alona Beach, Bohol, last month...
in my FB Memories folder this morning, from 2017 and 2018
I was lining up my camera to catch the plane coming out of the clouds in the background but my camera autofocus caught the wires. That plane was the only one I'd seen in 4 months I think, with the only airport being out on Mactan Island. The lines of the wires and ropes holding the bamboo poles of the Bangka boat together caught my interest when I was editing.

A few more photos from our January visit to the "Castle Church of Mama Mary in Simala":
Tops #4 - Looking down at the surrounding hills below Tops reminded me of images we get out of our airplane windows when we're approaching airports...
7:24am here in Cebu right now, 77F. 3:20pm in the Seattle area, 44F. I posted these tree photos 6 years ago, on 3Mar2018. It looks like I'll be sharing more images like these soon, since we're headed back there next week.

"Tops" #3 - The contractor crews are still working, getting it ready for the throngs of people who are already coming. Architecturally, with all the lines and curves...taking these photos was fun.
"Tops" #2 - Even before we went through the Lookout entryway, the shadows and silhouettes grabbed my attention...
