Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #238: Alone Time

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that.  I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work.  But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

A little jaunt to the Palm Springs area

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California.  My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before.  This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …

On this, the second anniversary of his death, mourn the Great Rush Limbaugh.

I took more than a moment of silence this morning, to remember My Hero, the Great Rush Limbaugh, who was taken from us on this day in 2021.  We who loved him never even thought of him as mortal.  We just assumed that he would be around for as long as we were.  We all …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #235: Shadows & Reflections in Monochrome

I just love what I can do with the photos I take with my iPhone 13 Pro's cameras.  It's with me wherever I go, so I'm always ready to spot unexpected photo ops.  And post-production on my Mac is really easy, too.  Reflections and shadows have always been some of my favorite subjects, and I …

Remembering Covid: A letter to the editors of the Wall Street Journal

A couple of weeks ago, there was an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, where the author wrote about the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, and how most of the world forgot it when the pandemic petered out and life returned to normal.  I begged to differ at the time, but thought little of it afterwords. …
