Wish: Planet 50:50
Wishing the amazing women in my life a happy International Women’s Day.
The title of the post is taken from the UN Women’s website, which states the theme for International Women’s Day this year focuses on “Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030”. I encourage you to read their full statement here.
As I looked with great pride and much love at my wife, daughter and granddaughter today there is so much to wish for. The UN Women’s statement is a good place to start.WPC: The Road Taken: Part 2
With the popularity of The Road Taken, my submission to this week’s Photo Challenge from Krista, here are a few more images of the breathtaking Arizona Landscape that is Glen Canyon taken on a memorable late afternoon in April 2015.

Sometimes you just have to stop the car and take it all in as we did on the road in Glen Canyon after visiting Antelope Canyon in Arizona in 2015.
and all that jazz
This week’s Photo Challenge is all about sharing “a photo of things that complement each other”
all that jazz 27.2.17
Two weeks ago we spent a memorable weekend in Seattle where of course we visited the famous Pike Place Market. At the entrance to the market we enjoyed the great jazz of Seattle’s Speakeasy Jazz Cats. If you have some time tap your feet for a few minutes as we did together with a very appreciative crowd.
I thought today’s painting and the jazz were a good match. I hope you agree.

What could be a better match?
a Hitchcock moment
As I arrived home on the weekend I was greeted by a cacophony of sound the intensity of which I hadn’t heard before. There, high in the trees behind our house, against the odds, was an eagle tearing apart a crow that it had just caught, surrounded by an angry army of the bird’s extended family. Those of you who have seen Alfred Hitchcock’s film The Birds will relate to the scene I witnessed, spellbound I might add, with other neighbours in the street.
How different from the Birdsong I posted just a week or two ago.
If you have never seen Hitchcock’s film here is the 1963 trailer:
You may never look at birds the same way again – be warned.
