Escape can mean many things, and this is the subject of this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge! One can escape from the tedium of every day life, or escape can be just a release, or to get away from danger. For this week’s challenge let’s escape to…
One of my favorite ways to escape is to go on a fishing trip! I sure wish I was on this boat!
Gone fishing!
Sometimes one needs a break from day to day life. What could be better than a friend calling and saying, “Hey, let’s go fly somewhere shall we?”
Getting away for a while
How would you like to have your own private island to escape to?
A place to escape to
Sometimes one just needs a change of scenery, so they escape the confines of one area and head out to another!
Heading out
When we look around us the earth shows us the release of pressure. This results in steam escaping the earth…

Pressure can cause other things to escape, like the juice of grapes going through a press.

In my own backyard, escape can be getting away from danger.
Running from danger

The grape juice escape photograph can win my heart….
The wine is pretty good too!
Nice selection of photos which depict ways to escape. The island would be great to escape to and the buffalo sure show escaping the camera.
I love the lighthouse picture.
Mithriluna – You have a very lovely blog! Thank you for your comment! I hope that photo put a smile on your face!
Thank you! Yes! The lighthouse picture certainly did! 🙂
Lots of great escapes here, Barb. I love the shot of the buffalo. You don’t see that every day.
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend and escaping even a bit.

Thank you Janet! The buffalo shot: We were heading back to West Yellowstone, where we were staying, and hit a traffic jam. As it was one lane in each direction we thought there was an accident due to slow moving traffic. Then we came upon the buffalo sauntering down the road. There is nothing like this in the world to have a buffalo walking right by the driver’s side window and glancing in at you…those photos were in a previous post, but maybe one I should consider doing again somewhere down the line…
I thought it might be in Yellowstone. What a fabulous place! Have you been to Custer State Park and seen the “wild” burros? I say “wild” in quotes because they’re little beggars, but great for pictures. We saw buffalo there as well.
It amazes me that people will get so close to buffalo in search of a picture. it’s one thing to be in your car (which would still take a serious hit if a buffalo went after it) but why get so close to an animal whose head is as big as you are? And they’re wild animals. Sigh.

Have not been to SD, but I would enjoy that trip too! In our car, as long as you are not flapping your arms or doing anything to alarm them!
BTW, my husband looked up Custer State Park, and guess what? I think he wants to go! Where did you stay?
We usually travel through it on the way from Wyoming back home. You could stay in Rapid City and drive up and Mt. Rushmore is there, too, and a reptile garden that’s wonderful. You can probably stay in the park, too, we’re just always in transit. Beautiful area and much to see.
In the park there are 5 lodges and my husband said they all look really nice! It is now on the to do list! Thank you!
Happy to help. 🙂 Put Devil’s Tower on your list, too. It’s in Wyoming but not terribly far away. Nothing quite like it. If you drive, you could also go to the Badlands, another amazing place. I sometimes think of the poor pioneers and what they must have thought after getting through the forests in the east, coming to prairies with grasses higher than a man, then hitting the Badlands and the Rockies!! What amazing people!
One could spend weeks there as it seems like there is so much to do! We have it on the list! I would love to see Devil’s Tower too! My only view of that was in Close Encounters….
I’m excited that you’ll get there. Avoid the first week (check online for sure) of August because that’s Bike Week in Sturgis and there will be thousands of bikers (motorcycle kind) all over the area and nowhere to stay, besides being incredibly crowded.
It will be slated for 2014 as we have a trip planned in September. We have a lot of places we want to see. I would like for my husband to see Zion and Bryce. We are planning on going back to Alaska and make the trip to Denali. We would also like to make a trip up to Banff and fishing at Lake Elizabeth. I will let my husband know that August is not the time to go. We actually like to travel in the months when school is in session. Makes for quieter vacations…Thanks for all the info!
I love Zion and Bryce. Haven’t been to Alaska unfortunately. One of many advantages of home schooling was to be able to vacation when others were in school 🙂
Alaska is beautiful! It teems with life!

This is a garden of eden
Any one in particular or the whole thing? 🙂
do I get to choose,,, let me see, some juice please, running with the bison, in the car….
First impression of Photo: Juices escapes the press. Posts in a shallow pond. Weird or a neat illusion. The hour is early for tired old eyes.
Wow! What an island!
And it is a floating island! Guests not used to living on water should bring the dramamine!
I don’t get seasick but I would love to TRY and live there! : )
Like your pics. Thanks for the pingback.
You had a very lovely post and I just had to share! Thank you for the like on my photos!
