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.)

It was very inviting when I pointed my camera up into the tree branches when I was on the other side of the fence. The first photo is looking back at the fence from the woods. Deciding to check out where our deer neighbors lived, I tried to walk through there the other day. The blackberry vines and branches told me - Nope!

from August 5, 2016: I saw of one of our local peacocks wandering around when I returned home a short while ago. They've been penned up for awhile, ever since the city announced a new rule about No chickens(?) It brought back the memory of Nate calling down to me from his upstairs bedroom quite a few years ago "Hey Dad! There's a peacock looking in my window!" "No.." "Yes, there is." I'm not sure how that critter got up there, through all of those branches, etc, but there he was, staring back at me." I think I'll go upstairs now, and see if I can take a photo to post here. We didn't have the window air conditioner back then.

Taking the LRT from Bothell WA to Redmond WA...
We did the "Bullitt Fireplace"/"Central Peak" hike on Squak Mtn 8 years ago on this date, 3Aug2016. Lots of interesting trees, and moss and lichen...

There are two trees that flank our apartment complex's entry, and I'll go stand underneath them sometimes. I aim my camera up through the branches and leaves and click away. The leaves are a green color in early Spring, and they turn reddish over time.

From 7 years ago, 1Aug2017 - when we lived in Tukwila WA south of Seattle, we had this little year round creek flowing through our back yard. Looking down into the creek, the early morning copper gold sun gave everything nice colors.

looking up at a building in Bellevue WA, next to a tree, and then going into the shade of the tree - looking up through the leaves and catching different colors of the filtered sunshine coming through

The old photos were some 60++ years ago? I'm the senior Senior in the photos we took on Saturday. Thank you to our nieces for this montage.
I'm the senior Senior here, and the last photo is our youngest relative...
