Picture This #484 ~ Family Photo

Good afternoon. Love this theme with so many possibilities! Thanks, Anders. And thanks for putting my pair of pups up as banner shot. Here are my Family Photos:

Fawns nursing
I could barely see them through the trees, but was delighted to catch a glimpse of two fawns nursing.

Family on a chilly beach
Florida does have cold days, this was one. A family took their dogs for a walk.

Jenny 1967
In 1967 my family took a trip to California and went down the coast from San Francisco. I snapped a shot of my sister, then 8. Heidi might recognize this spot, I think it is still popular.


As usual I will comment on your pictures on Facebook.

Many thanks to Anders for hosting this week. A good theme, should be interesting to see what folks come up with. Of course, for one shot I took the literal meaning. 

1) Four generations of my family. From left to right - grandfather, twin uncles, great-grandfather, me. Taken around 1966.

PICTURE THIS #482~ TRAVELLING

Thanks, Mitch, for selecting one of my recent shots to be banner image for this week. Excellent subject, Benni! I can't imagine life without travelling even if it's throughout one's own country. Travelling broadens one's horizons...
I have cancelled my Photobucket account as well as my Flickr account, considering that from this year on, I will be most of my time not in Lisbon, though I keep my apartment where I will stay now and then. By living in a small town located on the slope of a mountain, internet connections are not good. Anyway, I will be pleased to take part in this very interesting weekly Challenge, whenever I have favourable circumstances, as it's the case today. 
Mitch, I wonder you accept this way...TRAVELLING

Many thanks to Benni for hosting this week  from Florida. I wish I was there right now, rather than the cold Welsh winter. Great theme.....travelling is one of the best things in life. Out of all the places I've visited, the American south-west  holds a special attraction for me, so all of my shots are of locations in that general area. 

1) Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.

2) Valley Of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Picture This #482 ~ Travelling

Hi and good afternoon. What a perfect banner shot by Belita.  I am your host this week and I have travelled to Florida to escape the cold northern winter. The theme I have chosen is "travelling" something we all have done and, of course, we take our cameras. So find or take some pictures of a place you have gone and let's see what you experienced. As usual, I will be commenting on your pictures on Facebook; Blogger is still not letting me comment here. Have fun.

Camping trip
This is from a camping trip I was taking with my Girl Scout troop. My sister wanted to come too.

Vintage planes

Notre Dame
This summer I took a trip to my hometown of South Bend, Indiana. This is the inside of one of the buildings on the Notre Dame campus.

Pelicans in tree
You have to do some travelling to see pelicans roosting in trees.

Many thanks to Heidi for hosting this week.  2018 wasn't a good photographic year for me, I didn't seem to get as much done as I usually do. However, the ones I did take gives me a good variety to share. 

1) From the depths of winter........
Snowy Day

2) .........to the warmth of summer.

3) From exploring dark forests........
