Are you willing to sell for one shilling…
Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”
from The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear
No doubt the owl would have easily distinguished by its texture the shilling in one of his pockets from the half crown in the other.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Zigzag Finale
One last zigzag was right there in front of me on my library shelf 🙂
Although I took this photo over forty years ago the memory of the moment is as fresh as if it were yesterday. As to the title, a number of ideas came to mind, Heat Wave, Wavelength, Wave to the camera, but none was quite what I wanted. I chose Arpeggio to suggest all the different sounds coming from the wave crashing against the walkway in rapid succession.

Zig Zagging to Machu Picchu

A year ago we zig-zagged for six days along the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu…

…exploring this archeological wonder on the seventh day…

…climbing to the peak of Huayna picchu in the morning…

…and the Sun Gate in the afternoon, with this spectacular view looking back.
An adventure to remember, worth every zig and every zag…
