Each weighing in about their reason fir joining and (now) some of us (me!) are talking about everything. Call it the covid chain/connection.

Nice work, @Erinmfs! Can see why it is a favorite. sigh...maybe in the next life for me...and if adding wishes....vocal talent vs frog croaking too. Don't want to sound greedy but if we don't ask...

Thanks, big time for this lovely and the links, @Zeiracorp! I think I may Still have a Spirograph long gathering dust. Will look for it and maybe offer it to a young neighbor boy across the street. My youngest gs has inherited his dad's artistic street so will be ff these links to him. Thanks again!

You just haven’t found your niche yet. Are you having growing pains??? (The need to spread your wings, maybe a little?) I just put my “adult” coloring out for all to see. Not normally a sharer of that. But, @lioness dazzled we with her jewelry, so what could I do. We all are start out as a frog and you know the rest of the story......wait a minute, maybe I’m getting my fairytales mixed up? Oh well you get the drift

Hi, Thanks for the welcome. We live in a sweet little town in WI. Believe it or not we are in the process of building a house in the midst of all of this. That is not especially easy, although I am grateful to be able to do it.

Good Afternoon creative wanderers. That's what I call your contributions to this daily photo journey. It has been a joy every morning to see how the day was going to start, what we might discover and what has inspired you to get ready for your turn.

So....today is my turn. This photo was and is an inspiration for me. As a Freshman English student, I was asked to research and report on the pilgrims who came to America on the Mayflower. Somehow I ran smack into the role that whales played in our ancestor's lives. As a result, whenever I have a chance, I go whale watching. I have whale watched from a large catamaran across the shipping lanes, and a floatplane trip in Hawaii. Except when a huge breach off of the boat in Maui wiped out my camera, I have always had pictures.

For this Friday Harbor adventure, I have only one picture. It is right here. Why this one? Someone will know.

All I know is that I was too busy following Pod J intersecting with Pod L. An orphan attached itself to a new mother and our underwater microphones recorded the joyous celebration. When we landed a couple of hours later, the oceanography staff from Washington University told us we would never have to go whale watching again, we had just seen the best in the world.

So....what is this only picture? Why and when and who? Please let me know what you think.

Be healthy and whole today.
Chris
