Nothing man-made is as intriguing as the continuing marvel of the natural world, where patterns are evident showing us how nature long ago figured out the best, most efficient, and most beautiful way things can be made.

    1. Thank you, since I borrow these photos from the Internet, I hope I’m not using one of my bloggers photos without giving them attribution.

  2. I think that shell is an example of the golden ratio which some look for in a perfect photographic composition.

    1. Thank you so much. I’m being challenged by working on the iPad this week. So I don’t know where the posts went, which I had scheduled.

  5. Hi Barbara, Love the train related photos as well as that sailing ship! That waterfall is very attractive... I've got nothing against billionaires in general. It all depends on what they do...or don't do...with all that money. Of course, it also matters when you consider just how they became billionaires. Some really earned it and accomplished much. Others didn't care about anything except making more money at any cost. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
