I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog. And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

Welllll... Let's see what we can come up with with the final letter L. How about some Seagulls? This guy really just posed for me. My favorite-waterfall. They are in New York, Olympia, Washington, and Snoqualmie, Washington. How about a mural, or two? They are in North Bend, Washington, and Hilo, Hawaii. There is a …

In my back yard, I have a little hydrangea bush. Here are three photos of my plant in three different stages of flowering. Emerging, on July 7. Still emerging, on July 17. And today, in full bloom. Here's the Link to Cee's FOTD post for today.
I'm pretty sure that most of my readers, if not all, are going through a heat-wave right about now. You may be wondering how to cool off, when the outside temperature rises into the 90s. So I have gotten together a bunch of photos, of lakes and rivers, to help you get through the sweltering …

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips. In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations). After the concert, we rented a car …
Unlike Tina, I don't have access to Photoshop or any photo-editing program except for what comes with the Mac OS in Photos. I did have some fun with a photo I took yesterday, in a walk through a forest preserve. I tried to make it somewhat sinister. At a local park by a lake, I …
On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human being to set foot on our huge satellite, the Moon. It was perhaps the most momentous achievement of Humanity, and to this day it has never been duplicated. I think that every American should give a rousing cheer for America, and its space …

King County, Washington, is in a "high" Covid transmission condition, so as usual the Health Fuhrer has said that they are considering mask mandates again. That means it's time for Calling-all-RushBabes to post some new "mask memes". MASKS DO NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION OF ANY VIRUS. They are just virtue-signaling now. I believe the above to …
This past weekend, the Wall Street Journal did a story on Isabella Rossellini, daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini. She had an illustrious career as a model and actress, and now lives on a farm in New York State. The article gives prompts, and she filled in the rest. To the prompt: When you're …
