Spent 20 years on #Facebook. Had it set up just the way I like it. Built decades of friendships. Zuckerberg started force feeding me content. Then I woke up to find I was suddenly following Trump & Co. So I’m here now. Looking for #advice on building a #community in a new (to me) place. #laststraw

Wat Phanon Choeng is a Chinese Buddhist temple built near Ayutthaya, Thailand.

According to legend, Thai king Phra Chao Sai Nam Phung built the temple to honor the daughter of a Chinese emperor, a daughter he hoped to marry.

Could you find a more beautiful place for an autumn picnic? We were walking through a sculpture park and came across this art piece provided by Mother Nature

Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is one of our favorite road trips from Cincinnati. It is beautiful in every season

It’s #fishyfriday #foodonfriday #forestfriday & #BWFriday so I’ve been going through my photos looking for a shot of me eating in a forest by a lake, with someone fishing, that I can make black & white

Didn’t find the perfect photo, but I reminded myself that I’ve had some lovely picnics #scape 🍜

We’re planning to spend the summer in Mackinaw City again this year, so I’m looking forward to visiting Mackinac Island again

The Grand Hotel was the place to see and be seen at the turn of the century.

Also, I’m not sure my husband fully grasps the concept of croquet. That ball is going the distance!

This door in an alley way leads to an overgrown garden next to an abandoned building, but it looks like it could be the entrance to The Secret Garden.

Cincinnati, OH

My husband and I like to wander through the back alleys in Cincinnati, because we stumble across all sorts of interesting forgotten things, like this old wooden door.

There have been a few moments in life when I have experienced pure joy. I wonder though if the joy would lose its intensity if the moment was experienced for all of eternity
