This is Chesterfield Beach. Yep, concrete steps are what passes for a "beach" at Chesterfield Beach Park in Bellevue, Washington. A boat out on the lake made waves, splashing against the concrete steps.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #213: Under the Sun
We live in a part of the world that normally is deficient in sunshine. In fact, we in the Pacific Northwest are the home of the syndrome Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which means that in the winter with mostly-cloudy skies all the time, it can get depressing. And the treatment? UV light, or artificial sun. …

I say, “Let them burn”
I saw a news story today about firefighters in Seattle. It seems that, sometimes when the Seattle Fire Department responds to a fire, people at the site attack them. Yes, people are attacking city firefighters! If you know anything about the modern city of Seattle, you know that it is riddled with homeless encampments all …
Backyard visitor
Our neighbor, dropping by to take a drink from our bird-bath. We are having a heat wave right now, and I keep it full for everyone.
The lights are going out in Europe
And Germany has been the bellwether. Back in the early 2000s, Chancellor Angela Merkel and her party made the momentous decision to begin the energy transition from "fossil fuels" to "renewables" as quickly as they could. The scare-quotes around both terms are on purpose, because fossil fuels are not fossils (who is to say that …
The Abortion Culture of Death Reigns in Seattle
Shortly after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, returning the control of abortion to the States, the Leftists who run Seattle and the State of Washington vowed to do all they could to "protect abortion rights in our area". This week, new Mayor Bruce Harrell signed a constellation of bills into law, that …

RushBabe49 can now be found on some Social Media
I have stated before, many times, that I stay off the "legacy" social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. All of those sites are run by the most evil Leftists, and actively censor viewpoints they deem "misinformation" or "hate speech", both of which concepts are very misleading. However, in the past couple of years, …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #212: Motion
So much of what we see around us is in motion, especially outdoors. If there is any wind at all, all the plants are in continuous motion. Birds on the wing are some of my favorite subjects to capture with me cameras; both my Canon point-and-shoot camera, and the excellent cameras on my iPhone 13 …
The Scourge of Homosexuality
Does it seem to you that the media are full of stories regarding various issues relating to homosexuality? From the "Drag Queen Story Hours" being foisted upon five-year-olds in public libraries; to Pride Month parades; to the "normalization" of prostitution by re-naming its practitioners "sex workers"(in the Wall Street Journal, no less); every day's news …
Favorite Destination-the beauty of the North Cascades
About two hours northeast of our home in Everett, Washington, is the North Cascades National Park. The last town before the park is the "company town" of Newhalem, which is basically owned by Seattle City Light. Seattle gets a large portion of its electric power from the dams on the Skagit River, within the National …
