In 2018 I will feature a random (yet alphabetical) selection of photos I have taken from my nearly 20 years of back roads travel in the United States and Canada. I may even throw in a few random shots from other trips to Japan, Mexico and the Philippines. My theme is called America’s Back Roads: A Grab Bag of Places in Pictures.

What a clever theme, but wow, it must have taken you ages! Love the photos! Dopamine: Do you Drip or Do you Drown?
Shirley… the photos cover a span of nearly 40 years!! No joke!
