Ambience is the atmosphere of one’s surrounding environment….Things like light, temperature, smell, sound, and sometimes taste, all work together to create ambience. ~The Daily Post, Jeff Golenski
The grounds at this restaurant create exceptional ambience. Yes, there is warmth and light, but the ocean right at its edge provided instant ambience for me.
Mystic city seen from our lanai the last day of our visit to Maui. I looked at it for some time before realizing that it was the reflection of buildings behind and to the left of us in the glass of the lanai and not some real, true and tangible place.

H2O is the chemical formula for water. It describes water broken down into its elements.
For this week’s challenge, share a photo that features H2O; the element of water. Water comes in many different states and guises. From a foggy morning to your favorite watercolor painting, how will you show H2O in a photograph? I look forward to seeing your interpretations. ~ The Daily Post, Lignum Draco
It was perfectly clear when I arrived at the beach at 3:09 that afternoon, and by 4:06, completely socked in. It happened so quickly that it was alarming. I was hoofing it to get back to the car in hopes that I could get back to the highway before the roads became foggy too. You can see the whole thing in pictures here: 60 Minutes in Pacific City.
At day’s end he is wistful, not willing to release the tendrils that tie the day to us and make it yet “today.”
This was a fun day! When we went to Maui for our 30th anniversary, my favorite activity was an outrigger canoe trip. It was a leisurely paddle around the bay…we saw sea turtles, my husband dived in and swam around with them…and this cute little surfing dog and his owner came up to us on their board. An amazingly fun day, fun trip, fun moment – and treasured memory.
When I saw this week’s challenge, I thought immediately of Depoe Bay, locally known as “The World’s Smallest Harbor.” It’s fascinating to watch fishing boats maneuver through the narrow channel.

The Challenge: I realized that the universe is constantly whispering words of love: expressions of pure joy, respect, loyalty, and sacrifice for someone other than ourselves, and instructions on letting go and focusing on what is most important in this world.
That which is beautiful calls to me. It inspires me, and it can move me to tears – or to action. It reminds me of the greater reality beyond myself. Beauty illuminates the path to love.
