On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!
Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com
Folks, I’m working my way through backlogged submissions for the next couple of weeks, and we’re hitting the ground running today! Feel free to submit new stuff, and I may run some of it, but for at least a week or so, I’ve got some stuff to publish.
I sincerely hope each and every one of you is doing ok. Losing Schlemazel – so quickly! – was a shock and another reminder to hold your loved ones dear and overlook their faults or slights when you can, they’re precious. Hold his family, friends, and loved ones in mind and heart.
I tried to get the order right for these; they were from earlier in the tool and so may still be bugged. All new submissions will be correct, but these older ones may not. If I made an error, I apologize and if I’m around, I’ll fix it.
Today, pictures from valued commenter wmd.
I’m on a sabbatical and doing some scuba diving in one of the best sites in the world in terms of diversity of coral species. Dive pictures will wait until I’m stateside again in about 15 days.
Posting some sunset pictures.
