Friday Hunt – Yachts to Christmas Trees and the Kingston Trio in Between

I’m joining in Eden Hill’s Friday Hunt again

First up is “Begins with Y” and I have this bit of serendipity

Olympus Motor Yacht

A few years ago we took our family vacation in Seattle, Washington. While there we took a whale watching tour which docked at a small town for a little lunch and rest and I took the above photo in the little harbor.

Later I googled the vessel’s name “Olympus” and it turns out that it began life in 1929 in New York as a private yacht of a wall street baron and has had several owners during its life including the US Navy during World War II where it served as a patrol vessel looking for submarines off the coast. Later on it was owned by the State of Washington and is under private ownership again. It is again privately owned and you can rent it out for an excursion or if you can purchase it for a mere $950,000! Check the purchase link. It has photo some great photos of the very deluxe interior.

Next up, “Favorite”

Kingston Trio

Heather and I went to see the Kingston Trio on Sunday afternoon. They put on a great show. The singing was wonderful and they were very engaging. There was a film crew there and they are going to try and get it on PBS every year around the holidays. It was amazing watching these guys do there thing. So hey look for it next year.

And next “Festive”

Downtown Christmas Tree

I found this tree downtown while at lunch this week. I’m going to post it on Instagram when I get a chance. Do you Instagram? Yes?  then find me and friend me, I’m yogiab. I love Instagram. You can see some of my photos on the right sidebar.

Well, that is it for now!! Check out Eden Hill’s Friday Hunt and join in!

Friday Hunt – My Cheating Heart

I’m participating in Eden HIlls “Friday Hunt” this week with my interpretation of the prompts.

Begins with “X”

I’m not getting off to a very good spot. Out of almost 60,000 photographs on Flickr I have two that are tagged with something beginning with an X. One is a photo of Heather playing a Xylophone that I have posted several times before and the other is a totally boring photo of my tooth xrays during a visit to the dentist. I did have 62 photos tagged “XPro2” after a photo app that I use only occasionally and I like the photo of the above the best. It is a barbecue pit on the side of a road in southeast Oklahoma. I thought it rather clever. I do feel bad for cheating so badly right out of the gate. But not that badly, that is the nature of being a cheater.

Week’s Favorite

DSCN7311

This is a photo of a trail I ran last week on Tulsa’s beloved Turkey Mountain. I love running up there all by myself, in the cold, because there are very few other people there then.

I am cheating again. This is our house, and our lights, but from another year when we had snow. Snow makes lights look better don’t you think. Cheating is okay if it works, right?

So anyways, I hope that I don’t get kicked out of the Friday’s Hunt.  Join in! There is still time this week.
