52 Tuesdays Challenge #5: Tree

Nature is amazing. Some of the scenery I see along the way shows me that there is no end to the creativity of nature. So the word this Tuesday is Tree.

Being as I travel through a lot of rural areas and have been blessed to travel to the Caribbean I had a few tree photos stashed in my library.

This first photo is from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Along the Princess Walk there are trees that are completely twisted!

This second photo is from Gentry, Arkansas. There is little lake there hidden in the woods where the autumn sun made the colors just gorgeous!

This tree was in a shopping center in Oregon in the fall. The colors were so strong that I had to play with the photo a bit to give it a different look. I like the effect that I chose for it.

So, now you know what is next! Show me your trees!!!

Where’s My Backpack Travel Challenge: Signs – Rated R

I have debated over and over again on whether to show this particular sign found on the sidewalk in San Juan, Puerto Rico. CAUTION: at least R rated!!!

But this just screamed SHARE to me for the travel challenge.

 

 

My apologies to my friends who might be offended.


Where’s My Backpack Travel Challenge: Curves

Here are a few pics from San Juan Puerto Rico. Two are from El Morro, the fort – the first of the window looking into the chapel and the second from the entry of the fort looking to the main level of the fort. The other has appeared in a previous (and the most popular) FR&A post of a side street in SJ

Where’s My Backpack Challenge: Tradition

I truly like participating in the weekly travel themes by Where’s My Backpack. I am several weeks behind but I will catch up. :-)

This challenge is about tradition.

In this photo taken in San Juan, Puerto Rico near El Morrow, I believe that it shows one of the most sacred & personal aspects of tradition. For most religions, and especially families, burial is very important and can hold many norms that are believed to ensure the soul’s restfulness, happiness, and respect. Additionally, this magnificent setting inspires awe to me – such beauty!

One of the parks we visited in San Juan, Puerto Rico was very unique. I do not know the name of it but here are a few photos.

Hubby was very interested in this tree

Street Music

Thought of this the other day – so sharing it with you today. An accordion player on the street in Old San Juan.


A drunk person’s road – picture from yesterday

These pictures are not framing quality but I always laugh when I look back at them. We had just been to a micro-brewery in San Juan and when we left we found that this little block’s road had a painter that had been there before they painted the road. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 


San Juan – pictures from yesterday

We went to the Southern Caribbean this summer and here are a couple of pics that I remember after our showing our son the pics from the trip. He was away at basic training when we soaked up the sun!
