PHOTO BLOGGING CHALLENGE (AUGUST 2019): THE WRITTEN WORD

The August Photo Challenge over at a 'lil hoohaa was The Written Word. I ended up with an abundance this go round and actually had to choose! Let's get started.

I recently passed the exam for my Technicians license for amateur radio (HAM). My mom is always good at finding hobby/interest related gifts. These are QSL cards from New York in the late 40's. They would have been mailed to a radio contact memorializing the contact and giving the type of equipment, frequency, condition of the signal, etc. used in the contact.

We had a long term tenant move out recently; they left some stuff behind.

The trespass here is the No Trespass. This was not painted on in an official capacity. A new kind of tagging, I suppose.

I haven't been geocaching in quite a while but the Geocaching Streak Week challenge intrigued me. That and I apparently still had someone's trackable coin that I would have sworn I had placed a year ago. But no, it was still in my go bag. The was a DNF but a great find nonetheless. And I did eventually find a suitable vessel for the coin.

Is that 5? That's 5. Go take a look at the others over at a 'lil hoohaa and think about joining up.

The sky in the last one is perfect. Beautiful shot.
Interesting tagging as well.

Always an excellent set of photos, Mike! I like it. I've thought about Ham radio a lot. I think it would be a blast, though I just don't know if I have the time/money to invest into making it worthwhile at this moment.

Mike, I always enjoy your photos. This month you even managed to sneak in what's basically a nature shot! It's so interesting what people leave behind when moving out. It's been decades since my husband and I moved anywhere, but this year I helped our youngest move into a fourplex unit with friends, to attend university. The former tenants left just a few things behind, the most unpleasant being a lingering smell of pot!
