On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
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!
For the rest of the year, I’ll be cleaning up old pictures. Feel free to use the form to submit more, but like so much I’m dealing with right now, I feel honor-bound to clean up the old archives and get ready for new content. I didn’t realize I’d missed so much good stuff from mid summer and beyond!
One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

Best proverbial cow eating grass shot ever.
;)
(Presume this will be fixed shortly and from then no one will have the slightest idea why that was said.)

@NotMax: Cow eating grass? There’s a white horse in a snow storm.
Spanky
I got Michael Jackson. Isn’t he still dead?
?BillinGlendaleCA
@Spanky: Yes, and in a Mausoleum about 3 miles from here(Forest Lawn-Glendale).
Spanky
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Do me a favor and run down there and make sure he’s still there.

Polar bears in igloos, drinking milk, in honor of the solstice. WTG Alain.

@Spanky: No can do, that place is more secure than Fort Knox. Unless you have family there, you’re not getting in.
Gvg
Umm I don’t see any pictures.

@?BillinGlendaleCA: My LA peeps are whining about the cold.
p.a.
I see a mustard jar on the dashboard of a Subaru in a field.
Amir Khalid
My God, it’s full of stars!

@raven: Madame was as well.

Looks like my dad walking to school during the depression years of the thirties, as he told it, in the snow, uphill both ways.

@Amir Khalid:
Here’s some stars for you! It’s what the solstice sky would look like if we could only see stars in the daytime.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@debbie: And this is why I have to wait another 4 months to take Milky Way pics.
Schlemazel
@debbie:
Daytime? heck there are a lot of places you can’t see them at night either!
Cool picture, thanks for sharing
debbie
@?BillinGlendaleCA:
I envy you even being able to see it. That NASA site is my first click every morning. Every photo is awesome! Still think you should submit your photos of the Milky Way; they post photographers’ work along with Hubble shots.
?BillinGlendaleCA
@debbie: We’ll see what I get next year, my current shots have way too much noise.
Tokyokie
@debbie: One of my best friends is one of the curators of that site. WTG Jersey!

Love the chickens in their little hats, sweaters, and scarves! That black chicken in the black and yellow outfit is really strutting her stuff.? ???

Long time reader, don’t comment much but very grateful for the posters and our community.
Alain you’ve been in my thoughts and I hope you are getting what you need these days ?

Sorry folks, had internet issue after I started this post and, hours later, once it was solved, forgot to finish!

@HeartlandLiberal: Your dad had it soft, my father’s town couldn’t afford ‘uphill’.

@Quinerly:
I think the rooster in the red vest is quite fetching.
Retirees knit sweaters for chickens

@Quinerly:
And here are some Shetland ponies in cardigans

@Alain the site fixer:
Sweat it not. This band of jackals can fill the empty post just fine & nobody seems to miss to occasional glitch. It makes life more interesting being less routine.
Hope life is treating you well
Spanky
@Alain the site fixer: What Schlemazel said, although I still have my doubts about Michael Jackson.
MomSense
@Alain the site fixer:
We love you, Alain. Don’t worry about these posts. We’ll find ways to amuse ourselves and this is supposed to be fun for you as well.

That resembles a tradition in Japan, to take care of old business (especially old debts, and any money owed) before the new year begins. I don’t know if it’s Buddhist or Shinto or what other countries practice it too. When I worked there as a freelance translator the companies I worked for would rush out any pay they owed me early, just to discharge the debt before the 31st. Lately I try to practice that, in a small way, as New Year’s custom: try to finish old projects, clean out some backlogs. It doesn’t all get done but I still like the meaning in making the effort. Special cleaning before the 1st is part of the tradition too.

@MomSense: Totally missed the rooster in the vest on first glance. Had to zoom in. Looks like he is running to get to the party. So glad you pointed him out. Is that a tiny name tag he is wearing? And a little watch fob swinging? Cool.?
MomSense
@Quinerly:
OH MY GOODNESS, I’m going to add a red vest wearing rooster with a watch fob to a story I’m working on. May have to name him Quinn after you.
Quinerly
@MomSense: I would be honored.?

Tried the form, apparently my pics all got eated.

@MomSense: I want to read that story! Hopefully with illustrations!
