Welcome! I’m Linda: web mistress, author, motorcyclist, blogger, freelance writer and petter of cats.
Annwn is my home page, and has been for a very long time. This is its latest incarnation.
I have several different blogs and projects. I’ve always been a fingers-in-pies kind of gal.
This site brings together posts and news from all my various blogs and projects. This will work for you if you’re interested in reading (or skimming) everything I write. If you have something to say or want to read more, just click the title of the entry and you can do so. (I’d love it if you did!)
Conversely, if you’re only interested in some of the topics I write about, just add that individual blog to your feed reader.

Thursday Thirteen #11: 13 cool snarfs from April 2008»
07 May 2008 15:02
Syndicated from The Markeroni blog
This blog is part of Markeroni, the Gentle Art of Landmark-Snarfing — a site where you can find out about historical markers and historic landmarks, and even log your visits to them.
Here are thirteen of my favorite logged landmarks from April. It was really hard to choose! To view more details and a picture or pictures, click on the link. :)
- Garrison Cemetery Garrison, New York
I love the image of the gravestones sticking up out of the snow. The American flag is a flash of color and the cannon adds a hint of the past. (Logged by ember39.)
- Whitesitt-Shirk historic District
Pittsburg, KansasEvery time I see flingo98’s pink flamingo, I smile. This picture is particularly cute.
- Simon Bolivar Statue
San Francisco, CaliforniaI’m a sucker for old-fashioned statues with a rearing horse. This one’s by WanderingRaleighite, who at 3000+ finds has left the rest of us in the dust. ;)
- First Presbyterian and Congregational Church
Buffalo, New YorkThis beautiful, traditional church was captured by DoryTheExplorer. The layers of architecture all seem to build on one another and are fascinating.
- Life Memorial Park
Buffalo, New YorkAgain by DoryTheExplorer, this is a moving tribute to those who died of AIDS and AIDS-related illnesses. Not the way the path has been formed into a looped ribbon.
- Pennsylvania Canal System
New Brighton, PennsylvaniaThis is one of BikeSnarfer’s finds, and I love the way her biker bear peeks into the shot. BikeSnarfer is frequently one of the top riders (for mileage) in my women’s motorcycle club, and Markeroni is one of the reasons why!
Beaver County seems to have its own private system of landmarks, as shown here, but we haven’t found a definitive list of them anywhere.
- Biltmore Estate
Asheville, North CarolinaDepartment of “Oh my gosh”–this spectacular complex was logged by The2Cruisers. It looks like it belongs in Olde England, but is actually in North Carolina.
- Dixboro United Methodist Church
Dixboro, MichiganBeautyredefined found this landmark on a bicycle. This white wedding-cake style church has a tall, layered steeple that looks more like a chimney.
- Geary Theatre
San Francisco, CaliforniaWanderingRaleighite took this detail of ornate decoration at the theatre. They don’t do art like this any more!
- California State Capitol
Sacramento, CaliforniaI do love me a good cupola. The light filtering through is really beautiful.
- Mast General Store
Valle Crucis, North CarolinaWhat caught my eye here was the Esso sign outside the old store. I like old stores to begin with, but it’s rare to see Esso–with which I grew up–rather than Exxon. This wouldn’t be out of place on Route 66!
- Hotel St. Benedict Flats
Chicago, IllinoisThis neat red-brick hotel with its ornate architecture was logged by Scribe. It was originally set up as apartments and designed to look like four separate townhomes.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Stockton, CaliforniaAmberLee’s cat clings to his shoulder, making a rather austere monument a bit more…human.

The Motorcycle Carnival?#1, 07 May 2008»
Syndicated from Raven's Rides
Welcome to the first ever edition of The Motorcycle Carnival! We have a bunch of great motorcycle-related articles to share this month. :)
You might already have figured out that I’m new to this carnival stuff. Let me run a couple more on this blog and then we’ll start hunting for other host blogs. If you happen to be experienced in such matters, though, let me know and I’ll change my mind. And if you’d like to host in future, please let me know!
Read on for the articles.

It’s not really practical for us to keep going, but I really wanted to. I didn’t want to return to our concrete pad in Lodi.
We rode alongside an irrigation ditch for some while.

Leaving Buckhorn»

Syndicated from Raven's RV
After we left Buckhorn Campground, we went in search of the observation point so that we could see Black Butte Dam. The landscape hereabouts was mostly agricultural with a wild, last-century kind of feel to it. You could walk a long way and not bump into a house.
An occasional token tree breaks up the smooth surfaces of green hills.
