Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge – Steps

I’m a bit slow off the mark with Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week so I’m taking steps to remedy that right now.

Here are some steps at the State Capitol Building in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

And some steps inside the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center at the Chicago Botanic Garden. For more on Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge go to Steps: Indoors or Outdoors.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Horizontal

This week, Cee is looking for Horizontal Lines for her Fun Foto Challenge and glancing through the photo files I see that we encountered quite a few on our recent trip to Texas. The first image was captured as we went across the bridge over the Mississippi River in Cairo, Illinois.

Waves and ripples in the sand at East Beach in Galveston, Texas.

A view of McGovern Centennial Gardens in Houston, Texas.

A series of steps along the Riverwalk in San Antonio, Texas.

Travel Theme – Steps

I’ve gone from doors to steps with Ailsa’s Travel Theme challenge.  Arriving at the top of the steps; sometimes steps can be quite a challenge, such as these seen here at Copper Falls State Park in Mellen, Wisconsin, especially after a long hike, to which my husband can attest. He did just that, a few weeks before knee replacement surgery this spring.

Going up the steps at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.

Coming down the steps at Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, Minnesota.

Beautiful steps at the old Dole Mansion in Crystal Lake, Illinois.
