Moved to Wordpress

Well, I should have taken the advice from those of you who have been at this for a while. This blog has been moved to Wordpress. I was able to import all of the posts and your comments so we can just pick up where we left off.


To all of my new friends, please add http://twoapples1.wordpress.com/ to your list of blogs to follow so we can continue our challenge together.


You are appreciated and help me to want to post each day because I know someone is going to look at the photo. It would be sad if we all posted but no one ever saw the neat work you all produce. Thank you for sharing with me. See you at the new address.

Flight

The Charleston Air Force Base was near our hotel. We enjoyed seeing these C-17 Globemaster III planes. When you realize that their empty weight alone is 141 tons (128,100 kg) and max. takeoff weight is 282 tons (265,350 kg), it is amazing that they have the ability to fly.



This is a combination of two pictures. The background when I “captured” the plane was a boring blue with not a cloud in the sky. So I paired it with a pic I took this year of some clouds.

Fruit

This fountain is in the shape of a pineapple.  It almost looks good enough to eat.  It is one of the landmarks in Charleston, South Carolina in Waterfront Park.

Multicolored

Peacocks are colorful creatures. The purples, blues, oranges, and greens are gorgeous.

Frilly

The peacock is one of the most fascinating animals to me. His headdress and feathers never cease to catch my eye. I finally took the opportunity to photograph one last month. No doubt you would agree he is one frilly bird.



Remembrance

This grave marker was in Charleston, South Carolina.  All of the words had been washed away after years of exposure to the elements.  It got me thinking that what is on our tombstone does not matter in the end.  But how we live our life makes all of the difference.  How are we treating people in our life each day? What are we doing that will make a difference? We should live each day like it is our last and endeavor to do something meaningful with it.  

For some reason, I do like walking through cemeteries. There are always neat things to discover there.

Bloom

To my knowledge this is a type of Tiger Lily. The orange and yellow go together nicely.
