Last day of 2021 ...
One hundred years ago ... from my collection ...

| A celebration of Mount Rainier, with seven pages of text, the remainder illustrations, both color and b/w, from the author's original photographs and paintings. Published by A H Barnes, 1911 |

| My Anna's Hummingbirds entertained me all year. Our recent cold weather encouraged this little hummer to perch right above the feeder for a long while. Love critters? Check out Saturday's Critters! |
Walks ...
 |
| I walked the waterfront trail almost every day starting in early March. I've missed the last 3 days of the year due to snow and ice on the walkway. Most of my blog posts in 2021 feature photos snapped on the walks. Love sky pics? Check out Skywatch Friday |

ReplyDeleteHappy new year, John. I'm glad I found your blog to add to my reading this year.
ReplyDeleteThe music box is pretty special. What a treasure!

ReplyDelete...John, you indeed live a beautiful party of the country! I have a Regina music box that plays flat disks and the sound is similar to yours. Stay Healthy and Happy in the New Year!
ReplyDeleteAh, so nice to see old friends here on the first day of a brand new year. Let's hope it's a good one. I wonder what 1908 brought to the world? Thank you for continuing your blog so that those of us who enjoy seeing your world can know you are safe and well. :-)
ReplyDelete!2 years! I think we must have been following each others blogs almost from the start. My blog is almost 16 years old. Keep on sharing those lovely photos.Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHello John,:=) You live in a beautiful part of the world, and I always enjoy seeing what you photograph on your walks. Over the years, you have collected many beautiful and interesting, not to mention probably valuable pieces of art in it's various forms. I love your music box. I have an antique music box, and love the sound it makes, but it doesn't play Auld Lang Syne, which is so fitting for the time of year. What a treasure the !911 book of text, and illustrations of Mount Rainier must be to you. The painting you share is so very beautiful.Your interest in ships which I know is a passion of yours and your collection of old postcards of all types of ships
ReplyDeleteis so interesting. Your interest in all things, is most appealing.
I hope this new year will bring you good health, and happiness, so you can continue your walks, and sharing your treasures.
HAPPY NEW YEAR John.
Happy New Year, John! I LOVE that old book with the illustrations. What a treasure. I hope yo have a wonderful, blessed 2022. Looking forward with optimism here. Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteWishing you a Happy and Healthy 2022.
ReplyDeleteBoth Eddie and I send our good wishes.
All the best Jan
Happy New Year John -- And congrats and thanks for 12 years of sharing the beautiful Seattle waterfront and your cogent thoughts. I showed Bill the "Oldometer" which made me laugh -- and we both think we could use one; my blog will turn over to 15 (if I make it to later in this year) but thinking of age-wise, we're above 80. .... My Seattle sister tells me the snow has eased but it is still cold -- I hope you are weathering things and have been able to get out again. Be carfefufl out there though!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, John!
ReplyDeleteOldometer...ha ha...I need one of those.
Wishing you a belated Happy New Years, John. It looks cold there. We had wind chills of minus 27˚F here in WI this morning...whoo hoooo. My little pupster did his 'bizness' in less than a minute and raced back into the house. lol. Praying you have a wonderful 2022.
