2 in 1: Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge: Bridges and Signs

The past few weeks have been so crazy that I managed to select photos for the Bridges challenge, but never found the time to post them.

Ans today is the last day of the signs one, which I must confess I wanted to create even before I knew Cee would post a challenge about it.

So here it goes, 2 galleries, one for each subject.

So we cross:

Somewhere in Arizona…

Devil’s Bridge in Sedona. I did not dare to cross it, although there were some people doing it.

Red Bridge in Central Oregon

A green one and a red one, Central Oregon

From a different angle, Central Oregon

Bridge structure, Central Oregon

Just past below the ‘high’ ends of 520 floating bridge, Lake Washington, WA

520 Floating Bridge touching the water, Lake Washington, WA

Crossing our ways:

We could see some nice creatures crossing our ways on the roads, like deers…

… geese…

… a combination of horses and people,…

… sasquatches… Wait! WHAT????

and geeks! (Oh, I see tons of those creatures indeed!)

Sometimes bigger vehicles that have more priority than us…

or smaller vehicles that also have more priority than us. Although… in this sign they’re actually the ones being warned about us!

Today, my contribution to the Thursday Lingering Look at Windows shows the window and the view from the hotel room we stayed in recently on a trip to California.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge: Birds of a Feather

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge.

This week’s Challenge is: Birds of a Feather!

I’m not a bird photographer, but lately I’ve been at least trying to get non-blurred pictures of them.

Here are a few, from which my favorite one is the last one.

Ready to depart

Ducks and seagulls disputing some bread

Hi Duckie!

Flying high

Almost disguised on the same tone floor

Pelicans. No idea what the little fella on top is doing, but it does look funny.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Walks – indoor and outdoor

This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is about paths made for walking.

One of my favorite activities is to walk. And I try to go for walks every week day during lunch time.

Around my office building there are a few different trails.  Some are of gravel, some are paved. And my favorite is one that goes through a small woods.

And that’s the one I’ll be featuring here:

Along side the road, a gravel trail that leads to the woody part

In the woods

Wooden bridge on a swampy area

At some point, we can take a detour

Much narrower and of dirt

That leads back into the gravel trail a bit farther

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

This week’s Photo Challenge there is Up.

I’m short, so I’m actually most of the time looking up anyways, but sometimes, I really need to turn my head up. And those times were the ones I decided to show here.

Looking up the Trump Tower, NYC

Looking up the ball field!

Looking up Space Needle at night

Long tree trunks

Hi there, mister Washington!

Loiking up the tree

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Mountains

I’m participating in the online adventure travel and outdoor photography magazine Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers.
This week’s Challenge is: Mountains!

Those pictures were taken with my HTC 8x phone on a trip to take my daughter to her first ski class.

Thursday Lingering Look at Windows: Wupatki Ruins

This week I was browsing on some old pictures of mine and then I saw this one, that fits perfectly this challenge.

This as taken in Wupatki Pueblo, in Arizona, in 2006.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Which Ways – Featuring Steps or Stairs

This week’s Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge features steps or stairs.

Today also, coincidentally, as I was searching for my pictures of steps, I saw that Bing.com image also features stairs:

Right on topic! Cool.

But now, back to my own pictures, here are some pictures of stairs that for some reason or another I decided to take in the past and collected here…

In Maui, Hawaii: 150 steps to get closer to ‘the needle’

After a week long vacation, back in Fall weather to find that the steps in my office building were all covered with red leaves

Chileno Beach, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: steps from the sand and up the hill to get to the status of the Chileno

Steps on a nearby school playground, surrounded by dried grass at end of Summer

Amazon thinks I’m a guy!

I’m a girl. Ever since I was born, I’m a girl.

And I have never tried to change that, so I’m totally a girl.

Sometimes I do say I’m a guy-ish girl, because I like the company of guys, I have more fund around guys than around girls (or least that used to be true before kids… ;)), I don’t like pink, and  I don’t really enjoy window shopping. But that has always been a joke, because in truth I’m pretty much a girl.

But today, when I open Amazon.com, I noticed that all of the suggested products it was showing me was targeted to a male audience:

And it’s not even father’s day month to assume it was trying to give me gifts ideas…

Hum…

Now I just wonder what did I buy to make it think like that…

Need to check my order history…

LOL!
