The Weekend Roundup, 'E'

Friday arrives and I am now ready to participate in Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The second vowel is featured today, and with a bit of creativity, my prompts are revealed...

Starting with 'E' is Expansive. Our son took a business trip recently to the large Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. This is his view from the American 777 setting up for the final approach. With a metro population of 12 million, Rio is also Enormous! Cam will be the first to tell you business trips like his are far from glamorous - but at least there's that view out the window...

Elevation also begins with 'E'. Here is my dad (age 10) at the Continental Divide, I believe in 1938 inColorado. 8262 ft. = 2519 meters above sea level.   

I'm guessing on the same trip in 1938, they drove up to the low oxygen summit of Pike Peak outside Colorado Springs. 14,109 ft = 4,300 M. Grandma and dad look ok but hopefully free of the effects of hypoxia at that Elevation...

A Favorite. Nothing fancy but a bird, plump with winter plumage sitting on the forsythia works. Patti captured this avian out the patio sliding door. Have a great week all!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Bird Brunch Bunch

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 takes us back to lunchtime patio doings on this warmish (51°F /51°C) Winter day. A veritable flock of starlings (we think) stopped by to peck at the block of suet on the table. Bon Appétit to our avian friends :)
