I couldn’t let our new Thursday Doors host have his debut and not post a door to welcome him. So, here is a lovely door all done up for Christmas that I spied while in London on January 1, 2020.
I wish you a fun and successful run at hosting Thursday Doors, Dan!
You can find Dan’s blog and links to other doors from all over the world here.

Whist in London over the Holidays I passed this pub on the way to the British Museum and had to stop to get a photo of the lovely Blue Door. I love the hanging sphere plants and that shade of blue. 
I did a quick search to see how long the pub has been there and found it’s been there a LONG TIME! In 1856 a John Russell was in the postal directory at this address.
Here’s the link to the London pub wiki that shares the pub’s history.

A really neat feature about the iPhone is it will take images if there are enough of them in a timeframe and create a montage of them in video format. I love this feature.
It created a video of some of the images I made while in London over the Holiday break.
I apologize in advance for the tilted horizons. A videographer I am not, but I hope you enjoy the sights around London, Windsor, and museums.

Hello, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It feels like an age since I last posted. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I was in London for most of the Christmas Holiday. That’s why I wasn’t posting or commenting on your posts.
On New Year’s Day, we have a family tradition of eating Hot Dogs, sausage, and sauerkraut for luck. I skip the Hot Dogs, as I don’t care for them, but sausage is good! I made it a mission to find a place to eat our traditional meal on New Years Day. I employed Yelp to aid me in finding a good place.
I thought a German place would do the job and found Herman Ze German in the Soho district. I created a Hot- link for you so you can see their menu. See what I did there? 😜It was wonderful! We all had their Chili Brats which is a beef brat, we had fries and a really good German beer the man taking our order recommended. It was Augustiner Munchen Helles bier. It was so good. Unfortunately, we can’t get this particular beer here in the States. Did I take any photos of my food? NO! I forget to do that all the time, but I did take a picture of the beer label so I could look for it here at home but, I haven’t uploaded it, so on the image score for that meal- Total Fail!
After having our “good luck” meal we headed toward our hotel on foot. We did a lot of walking while in London.
While walking through the Soho we stumbled across Chinatown where I did snap this image. Oh, look there’s a crane for Dan, and Lanterns for Joey! 😀
We’re home, and I’ve still got to get the Christmas decorations down and put away and catch up on all the laundry. I hope your New Year is off to a great start!

The sunset colors were stunning the other night and luckily He-Man and I were out for an evening walk in the neighborhood when I admired not for the first time this lovely corner green door with a wreath and the gorgeous sky above it. I had to snap a photo for Thursday Doors!

I’ve been neglecting my flower images for oh, so, long! Here are three from cultivated gardens, and my back yard.
Columbine- Blake Garden

Daisy of some sort- My backyard
I’ve been feeling a day off so far this week. I hope that gets straightened out today.
If you follow me on Instagram you know I’m painting rocks and leaving them on trails, and in some places I’ve passed by for a Summer Project. I don’t leave them in State or National Parks because I think that’s a rule. Anyway, here are a couple of iPhone images showing some of the rocks I’ve painted to be left somewhere in the near future. I’ve left quite a few in the wild already. I hope those found new homes.
I hope you’re having a good week, and I wish for you a wonderful week-end!

I thought I’d share with you some recent images from the trail. The clouds were gorgeous, and the deer were too, and I loved the Oaks that lined the trail a little bit more than usual on this morning hike.
I was on the way down here. The view is looking at the southern end of the San Francisco Bay Area. The white teeth like structure left of center near the water is Shoreline Amphitheater, and moving to the right are the hanger of Moffet Field looking small from up here. The mountains in the distance is the Diablo Range.
Autumn was on display. Even dying I thought the blossoms were pretty.
I think this is a Coyote Bush. It goes all Fuzzy this time of year.
The trail…
The Toyon are full of red berries this time of year…
and the wildlife… I saw a young Buck, a Doe, and some wild turkeys along with the usual suspects; squirrels, and birds. This pretty doe was in the front yard of home when I was headed up hill along the road to the trail-head.
I made two short videos. One of the Buck, and the other of the wild Turkey’s.
Here’s the video to the Buck. I dislike my voice in this video, but can’t figure out how to mute it so no one has the option to hear it. 🙂 I couldn’t upload the video directly from my computer, so had to put it up on YouTube.com for you to see.
I hope you all have a lovely week-end and your views where ever they are are wonderful.
