On the Road and In Your Backyard

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.

You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.

For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

On the political-cum-local beat, C.H.I.P. affects children I know and love, and so many I don’t know, in Fremont, Custer, Park, El Paso, and Pueblo Counties, Colorado. So I see a significant “win” on this round of the budget, but we’ll see how it all shakes out. I know that Trumpism (ptui!) celebrates cruelty and so progress is being reversed, in our face, almost daily. Personally knowing children who will benefit from the CHIP Extension until they are adults makes these developments so very concrete. And so we celebrate a win for worthy children and the families that love them. Now let’s secure Dreamers and reveal our fundamental wall of tolerance, for that’s what it means to be American!

Today, pictures from valued commenter JAFD.

On the South Coast of New Jersey, the Saturday of Thanksgiving Weekend, 2017.

Taken on 2017-11-25

Cumberland County, New Jersey

A proud ship come to grief upon this treacherous coast

The tide comes in, washing the works of man away…

The sun sets

the sky glows red below the clouds

and East Point Lighthouse begins its nightly task

 

Thank you so much JAFD, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
