Today is the perfect day for a #BeautifulSunday brought to you by @Ace108. It is so lovely out that I took my laptop outside and was sifting through the mountains of pictures I transferred over to an external hard drive. I was left with a couple of pictures still on my laptop, but the good news is that I emptied five externals into one. I raise my glass to terabytes! Did I say how it took forever to transfer because of a glitch here and a glitch there?
However, success has come and I decided to take these last few pictures and use them because... if it weren't for these few pictures being on here, it would not be such a beautiful day because I would have a full laptop, all over again.
❤️ Insert smile here.❤️
Oh, Puerto Rico, you greet me with a warm hug and abundant smiles. I can walk your cobblestone streets for miles and miles. There is a seat waiting for me at Chocobar Cortes. Everything is chocolate infused. Including the octopus chips. Hey! Don't judge! It was delicious!
Leftovers from the trip to the Baltimore Aquarium. The jellies were hands-down my favorite exhibit. Just seeing this picture makes me want to go back there again. Soonish. There is never a bad day to investigate the Jelly Invasion. Oh, the dance!!! When I see it, my thoughts run through to knowing this is a picture I have used before to thinking, what an absolutely #SublimeSunday underwritten by @c0ff33a. This tag presents you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy and instigated by @c0ff33a. So., it totally tickles my fancy to go through my leftover pictures while waiting for another download. Show and tell, sort of. Some of you can probably guess where I took them and when. Ha! Let's see!
Discovery Space Shuttle Flying over the Washington, DC area as it lands at Dulles Airport, getting ready for its debut at the Smithsonian Museum.
Exhaust steam from the cruise ship. I'm guessing a gas turbine? Oh, yes! We be steemin! Yes, indeed!
The Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. I know, I spend way too much time there, but, there is a sense of peacefulness that washes over me when I walk through there. The seasonal changes welcome new opportunities for a fresh look and it is with pride that I honor these fallen heroes. May they rest in peace. Rest in peace.
My hands...They used to look like my hands, but, every time I look at them now, they look more and more like my mother's hands. That's not a bad thing. I am quite thrilled that they don't look like my dad's. I have always resembled my father in looks, he was still blonde when my dark-haired brother started turning gray. I have never felt anything but privilege when people have told me I look like my mother. I adored her and just loved placing my hand on her face, feeling the warmth of her love, love, love. ❤️
What do you see when you look up? I see stairsteps leading to the sky, way up high. I hardly ever see any here, this fungus that is among us.
Okay, sue me! I have this thing about keeping my refrigerator organized. You can check it 24/7 and it looks much the same unless there is a holiday and there are leftovers taking up my space. I can see everything and everything has its place. And no, I am not a perfectionist. I just like a little order! :)) PS... The cabbage in the refrigerator is for #SundayPurple #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra
There needs to be a flower. Always a flower.
The loveliness of you never escapes me
May I gaze upon you, always and a day?
Of course, I was kidding about the cabbage! These flowers are for the #colorchallenge by @kalemandra. Hehe.
Goodbye, my friends.Thank you for being so gracious and reading it all if you have made it this far and allowing me to post leftovers. Sort of like the Potpourri Category on Jeopardy. It was fun to go through and see some of what is left and I got my new hard drive altogether. Yes! Win-Win. Have a great night and I want to thank @c0ff33a and @Ace108 for hosting these challenges! Have a fabulous week!
Thank you so much @pixresteemer! Have a wonderful day!

Enjoy your day and stay creative!
Botty loves you. <3
Thank you, Botty!
Ouch well at least they only charge for the parking and not a entry fee on top of that.
My refrigerator is like playing a game of Jenga when you want get dinner out of it. Sometimes you get what you want and other times it's something else!
Have a wonderful week!
Oh my God! I swear that that refrigerator comment made me laugh out loud for real! Thanks for popping in and it is always good to see you! Happiest of New Year's to you!

I love those jelly displays. We have one here on the coast, and I can watch it for hours. Amazing little creatures. Your posts are always so much fun, they contain a lot of interesting things, and go all over to differing places. Like a little journey on my screen. Thanks for that. Though your refrigerator puts mine to shame, but we won't talk about that on our journey ( :
As for the fungi, you know what the forester says..."those look like they might be related to Schweinitzii, but maybe not". Sigh, we are who we are through training and experience. I like your interpretation much better. Have a nice Monday, my friend, and keep smiling.
Oh no! I totally like your explanation better. Coming from a Forester, it even sounds credible. Of course, anything you say would sound more credible than what I'm thinking.
I'm pretty sure I take a lot of flack from being so eclectic, or as some people have pointed out that I am all over the place, and I'm pretty sure they don't mean it as a compliment. But, be that as it may, that is just the way my brain operates. If I'm not doing a story, then it is hard for me to remain in the same vein for too long. I tried to put different things in the post and sometimes I'm not quite so sure that they come off like I imagine them in my head. Anyway, that's really sweet of you do you say that you like them and I appreciate you coming over and commented and visiting even though my lazy does not get out enough to read Around. Holidays have boxed me in for time and hopefully there'll be more of that in the coming days. I need to catch up on the new Wilson that is coming out. I hope it isn't out yet because if it is, I'll be late for another party.
Thanks, DD @ddschteinn

Oh I like a bit of randomness and this fits the bill perfectly. All great shots!
Yes! It is a great way to use pictures that don't fit anywhere else! Thank you!

Jellyfishes can be mesmerizing to watch in the dark with some lights on them.
They are the coolest creatures ever! I really am mesmerized by the dance of the jellies! Thank you, Ace!!
@ace108 I hope you have a most wonderful day!

How good to have tons of pictures, (@dswigle)Denise ... and know how to use them! A real potpourri. And taken separately and as a whole, the result is very good.
The first challenge I wanted to propose (Do you remember? ... we thought we would initiate it together, but you said it looks like ulog. I have not seen ulogs last time ...) was called "Every picture tells a story "and I think this meant what you did here. A photo inspires a story, a post ...
Yes! I do remember that and ulog had just come out, so that is what it reminded me of. However, me being human, I was probably wrong and you would have done fine. I wish I had just let you go with it. I have always posted quite messy or eclectically, I think that is the way my brain works.
I hope you are having a great day!
!tip
Not so great but busy...my day. Well, I'm sure it would not have been a success, 2-3 times a week, more of friendship (just like the current challenge, SAM) ... so I don't regret that I didn't.
It may work nicely once steem rebounds upward!
Maybe! First come those days!
Yes°
