What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always. And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country. Everywhere we have traveled has shown us that God has bestowed upon us a spectacular planet, with an infinite variety of landscapes and features. For the past two …

I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
When you live in the Seattle area, that usually means that it's clear enough to see Mount Rainier. But this time, it's another mountain. Yesterday, I went to downtown Everett to get my car washed. I have a dash mount for my phone, and as I drove north on Evergreen Way, I noticed that Mount …
Last week's Weekend Edition of the Wall Street Journal had a number of articles that I just could not believe. See if you don't agree that they all add up a big pile of excrement. Starting in the Review section, the cover story was about "The Once and Future Drug War", by James Marson, Julie …
Back in 2020, Rush Limbaugh stated that "We don't go after our former Presidents". He elaborated, describing those presidents who had all sorts of problems while in office, offending various and sundry political opponents.

I don't know of a more memorable event in my long life than the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, that we saw from the deck of the cruise ship Crystal Symphony in the summer of 2018. The volcano had been erupting for a few weeks before we got there in mid-July, and we …

If you thought Western Civilization was crumbling before your eyes, you might be right. Aside from all the crime, homelessness, shortages, skyrocketing food and fuel prices that affect us all, two stories this weekend will confirm it. The first story has to do with the "vaccine mandates" being forced on citizens by various governments, both …

Yep, right here in my back yard in the middle of suburbia, we have a sort of wildlife sanctuary, and neighborhood birds and animals visit every day. Now, we don't get much that's really exotic, though neighbors have seen a coyote, raccoons, and even a black bear. Our furry and feathered friends seem to like …

I had to give this one some serious thought, but in the end it had to be this one. Think of a photograph as a "captured moment" in time, one that will never occur again. I think that this photo is the most unusual and fortuitous of any picture I have taken, before or since. …
