Because there are many reasons to keep a photo. Some are those perfect images you managed--perfect composition and perfect colors. Impressive events. Magnificent scenes.<br />
<br />
And others---well, can you just tell here how excited Kate is at her graduation from sixth grade?<br />

I don't do silhouettes for the sake of being a silhouette, but there are often shots that live up to the theme--especially at sunset.<br />
<br />
This is my view at home now--well, not now as those trellises now have hop vines climbing at least half way up.<br />

<br />
Then while in Arizona for my grandson's graduation we made a road trip to a cooler part of the state for the day. Cooler as in it was 91º F. instead of 107º. <br />
<br />
Along the way we passed among a forest of saguaro cactus.<br />
<br />
I have read in more than one source that the saguaro does not grow any arms until it is about 70 years old. So these guys are roughly my own age.<br />

And this one, a bit older--though only an adolescent in cactus years.<br />

As we passed many many multi-armed specimens it made me wonder. If the cactus has fifteen arms, how old could it be? There were some like that.<br />
<br />
How old, for example is this guy?<br />

I count ten arms, though I could be mistaken.<br />

So this ridge, then, is a veritable old age home for saguaro.<br />

My friends among the headbangers, may very well have things older than mine in their headers this week, but count on me to be way outside the box with it.<br />

<br />
So naturally most of my memories include him.<br />

This memory photo, though, is from long before our 49 years together. Well, we had been dating, but I was far from him as I spent a college year in Florence, Italy.<br />

We traveled out from Florence in small groups many weekends, but we also made good use of our time in the city itself. You've all seen this typical <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=santa+maria+della+fiore&tbm=isch&imgil=iajevAV_1GyHBM%253A%253BaLR9SMFdbWW4xM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fverdadyverdades.blogspot.com%25252F2011%25252F01%25252Fcupula-de-santa-maria-de-las-flores.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=iajevAV_1GyHBM%253A%252CaLR9SMFdbWW4xM%252C_&usg=__tONbw6bgbjDsRyTmOHh69I23J4E%3D&biw=1536&bih=768&ved=0ahUKEwjZvpuz2JXUAhUJ1mMKHQLuBXQQyjcIQA&ei=ymIsWdkxiayPA4Lcl6AH#imgrc=iajevAV_1GyHBM:&spf=1496080999674" target="_blank">postcard view</a> (click the link) of the Cathedral of Santa Maria delli Fiore--the Duomo. This view is a bit different and a great memory. You see, though I am better about it now, I have always been rather afraid of heights., Never-the-less I have climbed most everything possible from the Space Needle to the mountain hikes. Just couldn't much look down when I got there.<br />
<br />
On this particular occasion some friends and I decided we would climb to the top of the Duomo. I'm glad I did it THEN as I don't think I would handle all those stairs well today. The steps follow within the outer and inner layers of the dome.<br />
<br />
As we ascended, a party of Franciscan friars was coming down, among them a diminutive and rather vociferous one, whose comments, roughly translated, went something like this:<br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I ever--puff puff puff -- get my hands on -- puff puff puff -- the one who talked me into -- puff puff puff -- coming here -- puff puff puff .....</span></em><br />
<br />
The rest was lost to increasing distance between us and the curve of the dome.<br />

I have mostly pictures taken at church there, so here is one group photo from First Communion a couple of years ago. I am sure that the young lady in the lower left corner is wondering the same thing--Why are you taking THIS photo? <br />
<br />
We had taken the regular group pictures already when Fr. Jaime had the kids pose in a few quirky ways. Look up left. Look up right. Raise your hands. Make a silly face....and this.<br />

<br />
When Fr. Jose gave a Mother's Day blessing on Sunday and told the mothers not to cook, to have their husbands cook, I lost it. Grief comes in bits and spurts. I'm back from the depths and looking at the color blue.<br />
<br />
My friend Cindy and I went to the Toppenish Wildlife Refuge on Sunday afternoon and we saw one of these guys. I did not get a picture of him, he was flitting here and there very frantically--maybe trying to figure out what to cook for Mother's Day.<br />
<br />
These are from a couple of camping trips in recent years.<br />

First of all my header phot is taken from this, a yummy treat from one year's Cousin Camp.<br />

I look forward to Cousin Camp every year. We are moving southward for this year's camp to better expand our horizons and to include one cousin family that has not been able to participate in the past. We were not able to have our annual gathering last year, the whole family gathering instead for Ranney's funeral. Maybe I will have some more and funner fotos after this year's gathering.<br />
<br />
Here is a mirror of Mac's fun shots. This funhouse mirror and a couple of others are found along the Royal Mile in Edinburg, Scotland. Mac and Julie have visited, and he has posted a similar picture both in his blog and on Facebook. Ranney and I were there on vacation in 2010, when we also hiked in the Scottish Highlands.<br />

<br />
I thought I had lost five rose bushes over this wild winter, but some of them are coming back, sporting new growth. I don't know what they will look like at blooming time, but I will give them a chance. In the meantime I have planted this one at last. And there is still much weeding to be done.<br />

Whatever was Mac thinking when he suggested the theme of "What's growing in your garden" for this week's headbangers. There in Lincolnshire it is apparently well into spring, as I have seen him post pictures of his garden recently. The rest of us, however, if not still in the snows of winter, are still recovering from them.<br />
<br />
Or not. I have lost at least four rose bushes due to this winter's ravages.<br />
<br />
Last year in May and June my garden looked like this:<br />

Some for me, some for others.<br />
<br />
The Storage facility is raising rates as of June 1. We have been proposing and disposing to rid ourselves--now myself--of the monthly fee for some time. I propose that it will be emptied before June 1.<br />

Some resting, some recuperating, and personally, mostly snowed in. We are beginning again with A New Beginning as our theme.<br />

I bought a T-shirt which proclaims that I am a "hiking Grandma". then I decided I had better do something about making it possible to make that claim this summer when I camp with the kids. If I don't get in shape I will be a "sitting around the campfire Grandma". So I have started walking along our local pathway in anticipation of getting up into the high country later this spring. These little critters claim the area along the pathway as home. They are about all there is of interest along the path unless you go considerably farther than the mile I have attempted so far. I used to walk the pathway between Grandview and Prosser--about 6½ miles--on Saturday mornings. When I got there, I would give Ranney a call and he would come meet me for breakfast. </div>

I thought I could stitch these three pictures together for a great long header, but find I have forgotten some of my skills. The Rose Garden had been pruned within the last few weeks (inspiring me to prune my own roses at home as well) and this crew was out at the beginning of Spring Break cleaning up the prunings and spreading bark. It will be a great NEW show of color in a couple of months.</div>

My own New Beginning at home. I haven't done a garden in several years. Here are my radishes--very new radishes. I like radishes because you see something in about a week. that is encouraging. The rain has kept them watered so far but now it is fair so I will have to get a sprinkler going.</div>

Our theme this week is featuring photos from the holidays. This was pretty much what the last two weeks was like here. In fact, while I was at church on Sunday it snowed three inches. And later in the afternoon it snowed three more.<br />
<br />
All I have in my camera and phone from the last couple of weeks is SNOW. <br />
<br />
Classes cancelled for tonight and tomorrow because --guess what is coming---<br />

We have changed our posting day to Monday to better fit some of our schedules.<br />
<br />
I can't really say how long the giraffe has intrigued me. Perhaps it goes back to a trip to the zoo with my nephews many many years ago. On the way to San Diego in the car it was mentioned that a baby giraffe had been born. It was six feet five inches tall at birth. One of the nephews was very impressed. His comment? "That's taller than Sandy Koufax!" (I date myself.)<br />
<br />
These pictures were taken at the San Francisco Zoo, the Phoenix Zoo, and the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. I am sure I have more, but these were the easiest at hand. Unfortunately no picture of the baby taller than Koufax, but this first one is not much older than that one was at the time, and definitely tall.<br />

My friends gifted me with this quilt as an encouragement in troubled times. They called it "Kathy's Mountain of Faith" and used colors from the mountain and blocks with bible themes. I treasure it.<br />

(The temperatures and the storms have provided signs for the other senses.)<br />
<br />

I drove by the supermarket after picking up a few groceries and took this shot of the pumpkins ready for jack-0-lantering. Or pies. But not soup. I tried to adapt my squash and spicy sausage soup recipe to use canned pumpkin for convenience and it did not work well. I am not sure if I got quantities messed up too much, tried to rush it, or if the pumpkin is just a bit sweeter than the butternut squash. <br />
<br />
Then later appeared the Harvest Moon. What better sign of Fall? I checked it out the next evening, but one of those fall storms was building and the moon was not visible at all.<br />

It will take me a while to get back into the weekly headbanger habit. I have taken very few pictures this entire year through Ranney's illness and since his passing. I want to get back to it, and so will try to have one of my cameras always with me.<br />
<br />
Headbangers are a small group who share a new header each week around Wednesday and compete among ourselves for which is the favorite each week. You can find the others linked in my sidebar.Katneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.com2
