Photo Challenge - January

The theme of this month's photo challenge coordinated by P.J. over at a 'lilhoohaa is "new". Now I wasn't able to participate in the last couple of challenges so I'm happy to be back for the first one of the New Year.

Speaking of New Year I spent the first couple of weeks of January in Panama. While the so-called Polar Vortex roared to record low temperatures at home, I spent my days on the beach, in the ocean and playing golf in sunny 90F temperatures.

It's all a distant memory now, save the photos…

Lovely photos! Even though we haven't had any real winter weather here, I was still jealous of your holiday. You made sure of that, on Facebook ;)

Oh, yes I did. And I look at today's challenge as another opportunity to do so again!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, look at that beautiful green golf course! You lucky duck!

I'm happy someone got to escape the Polar Vortex! Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel our winter vacay to Mexico. :-( Thanks for showing some of your pics to help me warm up!

It's only a 9 hole course but it's gorgeous and fun to play.

Believe me, I wish I was back there right now.

Ah, what gorgeous photos. Let's all go there tomorrow!

I'm in, for sure.
The golf club shot made me smile a LOT. I love the shot... and for a golfer, I bet that was heaven. The other one that especially caught my eye was the first one.. like a burst of amazing sunshine behind the clouds!

It was heaven, indeed, Katherine and we go here every year. 90F, sun every day, steps from the ocean - you can't argue with that.

Great pics, Noname. I wouldn't have minded starting off my New Year like that. As you know, January was nothing but suffering as far as the temps were concerned.

The temperature here was absolutely depressing. But I didn't feel too bad sitting on a 90F beach sipping a Corona or two, Mike.

I like the shots. My favorite is the golf course shot however. Rich green grass, with an interesting perspective showing the clubs that let you know where you are if you confused without them.

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
nonamedufus said…
Thanks, Meleah. It was a great place to be while everyone else was caught in the grips of the Polar Vortex.

Lovely...and warm
nonamedufus said…
Yeah, the warm part is what attracted me.

What a wonderful "new" year start you had!

Oh, absolutely. We certainly started off on the right foot.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
