It's #TravelTuesday! The most inexpensive thing in New York City, is the Staten Island ferry. ⛴️ It costs absolutely nothing, and you see so much. Photo taken 2015.

About once a month I give groceries to my Church. They distribute it to the poor, in our community. Mostly I buy name brand cereals for $1.99. This week's find, Raisin Bran! Remember, furloughed people are coming up on a no pay week. Keep them in your thoughts, as you shop.

When I was in school for my Master's degree, some of my instructors said the same thing about my writing. I now feel vindicated. You go girl!

It's #SkySunday! A sunset on the Straights of Mackinac. Popcorn clouds and gentle waves, along a rocky shore.

On this day in 1970, the Public Broadcasting Service or PBS was launched in the United States. It essentially replaced National Educational Television. #History #OTD

Things I did this year, because I was worried I might not be able to do them next year. I traveled across the entire US twice on Amtrak. I visited Yosemite National Park. Thanks to all the Government workers, who helped us along the way. It has been a busy year. #TravelTuesday

#SkySunday. The pool at the Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan. Photo taken 2025.

I thought this was kind of cool. sports.yahoo.com/article/brac...

After spending a week with my son, I have lots of cat posts. Here is my favorite of Taro. She is such a cute cat. Happy #Caturday

It's #TravelTuesday! I am still on the East Coast (at least timewise). Spent Saturday touring Mackinac Island. These lovely houses reminded me of the queen houses in San Francisco. Each painted a different color.

It's #SkySunday! I finally visited Mackinac Island yesterday. Bucket list item checked off. It was choppy waters, and some rain passed us by, but look at the dramatic clouds. Photo taken 2025.

It's #TravelTuesday! Long Island is my home, and though I no longer live there, I enjoy the flatness of the land, which I do not have in Los Angeles. Happy sunrise, from Garden City, NY.

Bridalveil Falls In Yosemite, was not the most flowing of the falls we saw on our visit, but the sky made the photo. #SkySunday

It's #TravelTuesday. I would rather be traveling by train. 🚂 Waiting at Newark Airport, for my flight. Photo taken 2025.

It's #SkySunday! Another stunning photo from our time in Yosemite National Park. The Merced River is flowing, and the sky is changing, prior to a thunder storm. Photo taken in 2025.

Montréal, Canada is a lovely city. So close to the USA, but with a European feel to it. Golden hour, makes it perfect. Photo taken in 2018. #SkySunday

Back in her younger days, 2018. Still missed. #Caturday

#WaterWednesday On the Oregon Coast you never turn your back on the ocean. Sneaker waves are always something to expect. In spite of that, the coast is beautiful. Photo taken in 2010.

It's #TravelTuesday! Denver, Colorado Union Station in 2014. Amtrak loaded a Chessie System private car onto our train. An unexpected addition to our travels.

It's #WaterWednesday! Lake Ontario at Rudy's Oswego, NY (if you know you know). Driftwood washed up on the shore. Photo taken in 2022.

It's #SkySunday! In 2001, we visited the Portland Head Lighthouse, in Maine. The weather was nice and the rocky coast, so very different then what I was used to.

I worked for PBS and all member stations, from my home station, KCET. I was the person loading information into multiple systems, to bring you BBC World News (several times a day). We work hard for our viewers, and will continue to do so. Please support us. @pbs.org bsky.app/profile/pbs....

An old railroad bridge is used to connect Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, to the C and O Canal tow path. You can see bikers and walkers using it. #RailsToTrails Photo taken in 2011.

Chicago Peace, back in May. #RosesWednesday

It's #TravelTuesday! Old Point Loma Lighthouse, on a hill, in San Diego, CA. It has not been in use since the 1800's. What's so good about it, is that it was lovingly restored. Worth a visit. Photo taken in 2012.

It's #SkySunday! A beautiful sunset from my home, in 2021.

It's #WaterWednesday! A river runs through Johnny Carson Park, in Burbank, CA. It gives the park serenity, in the midst of a busy entertainment district.

The old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in Mackinaw City, Michigan. #TravelTuesday

Back in 1981, I was working at KCET. We finished 13 episodes of Cosmos, and the funding came up about 1 million short. So we had an emergency campaign, and our viewers came through for us. In the spirit of that, I donated on Saturday. Send whatever you can, to YOUR PBS station.

A 2015 photo taken from the Staten Island Ferry, brings us to the Statue of Liberty. Lots of clouds, as one would expect. #SkySunday

Vandenberg Launch tonight.

It's #WaterWednesday! We visited the World Trade Center, back in 2017. It's a very moving waterscape, honoring the fallen, at the WTC.

It's #TravelTuesday! Gilbert, Arizona has a "mostly" natural park, that is available for people to visit. This silent sentinel gives the woodpeckers a home, year round. Photo taken 2023.

It's #SkySunday time, again. A rainstorm is coming, right at sunset. Photo taken in 2012.

David Gergen was always so nice to me, when KCET would uplink him to The MacNeil Lehrer Newshour. Godspeed to you, David. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/u...

Lidia's In Pittsburgh, from back in 2011. It closed in 2019. What a shame. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBars #TravelTuesday
