The Wuhan Coronavirus stalking the land has forced the majority of us to spend more time at home (with the help of the government who orders us to stay home). My husband has been working from home for six weeks now. I was home for a two-week furlough from work. But I had good company …

April Flowers
My birthday is in April, when flowers are blooming everywhere. Here are some pictures of flowers around me. I received these from my best friend at work. Thanks, Leslie! On a street near my workplace, I see these trees on my way in to work every day. How about those flowers! And a little closer …
It was so windy this afternoon…
That I saw a seagull being forced by the wind to fly backwards! [this has to be my shortest post ever]
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #93-Morning
I am an "essential worker" at my aerospace company (at least until May 29, when I retire), and my days begin at 0510 when my alarm clock rings (really my iPod playing Wildwood Flower). So I mostly go to work in the dark, until just lately. I captured this sunrise picture on my way in …
President Trump Nails Pelosi
This is absolutely priceless. As one of my Ricochet friends noted, Nancy "Antoinette" left the door wide open, and the obliging Trump Campaign walked right through it! Let Them Eat Ice Cream! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7DKYML2MRs
I Defy
I defy the authorities who tell me that, as an over-70-year-old person, I should be staying home and not leaving my house.

Lens-Artists Challenge #92-Second Time Around (or more)
Thanks to Tina Schell for passing along this challenge. Since the majority of us are "sheltering in place" and not traveling, we pretty much have to post photos of places we've already visited. One of our favorite places is the Diablo Lake Overlook, on the North Cascades Highway, east of Newhalem, Washington. Hubby and I …

For Who Will Record the Truth…
...in these days of Darkness? Who will write down, for others to read, exactly what happens? Who will write the History of events in all the turmoil? Who will record exactly what is said, and meant, by President Donald Trump? How will posterity know exactly what kind of President he was, when the recorders are …
A Zigzag Working Life
I graduated from college in 1971 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Back in junior high school, a psychiatrist had helped me a great deal, so I decided that I wanted to be a psychologist when I grew up. Since you can’t do much with a bachelor’s degree, I applied to graduate schools to get …
