Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Shirley, love that photo, and remember a group of them that you had and were in a slideshow, but no longer have, do you?

Shirley

Jack, I'm not sure where I posted that slide show... yes, all those photos of the bridge.  Do you happen to remember what we were using about that time?  I do have a list of passwords for various sites but not sure I have a copy on a thumb drive or CD.  I know one place we used to post from closed.  I did manage to resize this photo using the newer version of PSP.... but took long time!

Shirley I will email you tonight.

Bridge in Canada

Bubble, that is a restful scene, with the little boy feeding the geese.

Bubble. That is an unusual bridge but easy on the eye.  A great picture.

NitaH

I like that scene, Bubble. Nice shot.

so_P_bubble

Yes, a peaceful place and Aviv enjoyed  feeding the ducks. He even tried to call them in English: come, come! Because of course, being Canadian  they would speak "Canady" (sic) and not Hebrew lol

Another bridge, know Sue is familiar with it.  This is the New River Gorge Bridge in southern WV.   It is 800 feet above the river and they have an event annually with people jumping from it.  I do not look down when driving across it, took this from a park nearby.

That is a very aesthetic construction, Jack.

Jack, a few years ago I was on a tour in British Columbia where we took lifts up the side of the mountain for a certain distance, then got in a gondola and went from one peak to another.  We were way far above ground. 

I thought of this trip when you mentioned not looking down on the New River Bridge.  I remember you've written about that before.

Pretty whitecaps on Lake Michigan this morning.  Not as many as yesterday, but still quite a few.

I doubt I could drive over that bridge.  Do the jumpers get hurt?

Here is a link to the New River Gorge Bridge.   Don't think I would want to take the tour !!!  Looks like a neat thing to do if you have the nerve !
LOL

Reminds me of the bridge walk  in Sydney Australia.  My son has done that.

Rick they are doing base jumping on Bridge Day, and leap from the bridge with a parachute.  Understand there have been a few deaths, over a period of years.

Joy I do not even like to watch the video.  If I woke up and was out there I would be added to the list of fatalities. :)

Mary Ann

As long as there are railings, I'd take the walk.  The scenery is wonderful.  However, I would not jump.  I'm not that venturesome!

I will say at my present age, I would not take the walk because I can't walk far, but when I was younger, if I had the chance, I would have done it.

If I could walk further than the mailbox and back, I would definitely do it and would drive across it now.  I have never been afraid of heights.

Another thing I have always wanted to do was take the Hualapai Indian tribe sky walk over the Grand Canyon :).

I have visited the New River Gorge Bridge twice.  The first time was a car trip from Alabama through the southeast to my sister's home in Charleston (WVa).  Charlie and I had gone to an Elderhostel in Charlottesville, VA and toured lots of Civil War sites in North Carolina and Virginia.  We stayed at a state park hotel with views of the bridge several nights. The New River Gorge is beautiful--even the section going into Charleston (WVa), although not as spectacular there.  The second time I visited there, my high school 60th reunion was held at a state park in that area--can't remember which one.  West Virginia has many lovely scenic areas and parks.

The only part of WVa that I have not visited is in the northern pan handle and WVU at Morgantown.  I  grew up in the Kanawha valley in a small town, St. Albans, although I spent junior high and college years in Columbia, SC, where I attend the U. of South Carolina and married my late husband the day after graduation.

Sue

P.S., when I was a young girl, the state song was not "Almost Heaven, West Virginia" by John Denver!  I think it is now used as the state son, but Jack will know.  I forget the name, but we sang the chorus with gusto--"oh the hills, beautiful hills, how I love those West Virginia hills".  I still do!

Sue, I do not remember my days in WVa because we came to Michigan when I was 16 months old.  In 1950 my dad and I drove to Wellsburg and I saw the house where I was born and met some of the people Dad taught with at the high school.  I remember driving on a road called a Pike and we came to a tunnel so we had to honk the horn to warn a car that might be at the other end.  In other years I took a couple of tours that went through WVa  and I remember the dogwood trees in the wooded areas.  I think we did not get in the area of the New River however, I remember we stopped at Charleston on one trip.  I know I won't get back there now, but I do have some memories.

I remember the times you, Jack and I took over the WVa folder in Senior Net.

Here is a photo taken today of a little bridge on the walk path.  Think I might risk jumping off of it.  ;)  Took a 2nd photo of my companion.

This old bridge was located in Bridge, Oregon, where I was raised, went to school and enjoyed country. :)  I walked over this bridge, hung out on this bridge, later drove over this bridge.  That was our swimming hole down below.  Most kids, and adults, could be found at this hole in the summer, or on the bridge looking out the "window" to see who all was there before you decided if you wanted to go down. :)

I haven't figured out how to post the pic full size instead of a clickable thumbnail.

Jeanne Lee

Nita, next to the menu slot that tells you to browse for what you want to post there is another drop down menu with several choices.  Default is "End of post expandable thumbnail".  Scroll down and click on "inline full-size image".

I am glad we have this discussion opened (Thanks Jack for suggesting!).  We have a look of such variety on same topic, it is very interesting.

jackwv

Nita, lovely memory with that covered bridge, is it still there?

jackwv

Bubble, the contests were not that active and we really do not compete.  I like the idea of making a request.   Do not know if we had this one, but how about Clouds,  and for that matter Clouds and landscapes.

This photo is a panorama, it was a wide one but you get the idea.

so_P_bubble

Good one!
But I don't have any clouds on file, I think.
Maybe tomorrow will be cloudy enough for a photo.
I love your panorama!

FlaJean

This is one of my favorite photos that I took at Tuscawilla Park in Ocala.  The park is one of the few things I miss after moving.

jackwv

Jean I can understand why you miss it, pretty scene.

NitaH

Beautiful cloud pictures. And I have always liked clouds. :)

Thanks, Jeanne.  I did check that, but must have missed that option.
