I was in such a QUANDRY over posting for the letter " Q ".
Then QUMRAN came to mind.
Ten years ago this month my Hubby and I visited Israel and went to QUMRAN.
I took this picture of the Caves of QUMRAN where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found back in the late 1940's to early 50's.
The fragments and scrolls are ancient examples of the earliest known witnesses to the Hebrew Bible ( The Tanakh, The Old Testament).
One of the most special things for us is an exhibit that is at our church for just a few more days. We have the privilege of displaying authentic Scriptual Dead Sea Scrolls fragments before they go to their permanent home at Azuza Pacific University in Southern California.
I think this is QUITE an QUINTESSENTIAL shot of the clouds and sun flare.
Is this a QUIZZICAL alien or just a QUIRKY shot of the nose of an vintage airplane?
Last but not least....our Granddogger....the crazy QUADRUPED, racing around our QUADRANGLE yard on Mother's Day.
To see what other QUAINT posts are shown for the letter " Q ", go to Mrs. Nesbitts link on my sidebar
Now I can QUIT thinking of things that begin with " Q "!!!

Beautiful pictures like always!
Love the dog and the tree!
You've got great Qs! All beautiful...I like the quintessential shot very much....and the quirky shot.
Quite the wonderful post. I saw a wonderful exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls when I was in Washington DC a few years ago.
Definitely an alien. Be very afraid...
ROG, ABC Wednesday team
What great Qs for the day! I've always interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls and wished that I might see them someday! And, yes, I do believe that is an alien!!! Enjoy the rest of your week!!

I consider myself lucky to have seen the Dead Sea Scrolls in their natural home.... the Jerusalem Museum in, where else? Jerusalem.
That little dog is crazy!
Glad you found an answer to your quandry.
How interesting to see those caves of Qumran!
Thanks for your visit.
Enjoyed them all, especially the Israeli site!
Wow! Seeing the real thing! Not many people have that opportunity. I am QUITE impressed, happy for you and a little envious!

You're so good at finding just the right photos for these. I love the caves and at first glance, I thought I saw a loon in the shape of the opening.
Wonderful Qs and great pictures. Love the little granddoggy!
Love the plane! LOL!
And how wonderful to be able to see part of the original Dead Sea Scrolls! Very exciting.
On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)
That must have been quite a trip to visit Israel.

I love that shot of the clouds through the tree tops - beautiful.
Qumram - that was a good 'Q'! I think I spelled that wrong, but I'm getting too tired to go back and look.
You are the second person i read who used the term," I am in a quandry" I must look it up because I never use it.
what a beautiful post...
great Qs...
Mine is here
Happy Sensational Wednesday!
hugs
shakira

The Dead Sea Scroll history is so fascinating. I'm envious you've been to see Qumran. And I agree with Roger, definitely an alien. :-)
ha ha! You did Q with a breeze! Thanks for listening to my music :)
What an assortment of Q's! You've outdone yourself for sure!
Quite lovely picks! So glad for those scrolls.
Wonderful information and beautiful photos!
Very clever! Enjoyed it!
thank you very much for your wishes. i really appreciated
I have such a difficulty to work on "Q" and you have so many nice "Q", enjoy it.
I think it’s wonderful the exhibit you have at your church. I enjoyed your use of the letter “Q” and the photo of your granddogger! We have a grandkitty.
Thanks for your comment on my Fibromyalgia post; I appreciate it! I don’t know if doctors have come to any conclusions about fragrance and pain; although they are aware of chemical sensitivity disorder. Fibro is a strange illness.
Hello Sue! I am sitting here outside now 10.00pm with my laptop, which is so slow, that I did not see your photos, but I want to send greetings to you! We have very warm evening after the hot day and it is light still. The sunset was 15 minutes ago, the lake is still calm and colourful.
I wish plenty of happy things and moments to your life.
Nice blog.
Good day.
