I do like to keep my eyes open and search for little things around me that delight the eye. How about the humble, useful paper clip? Who gives them more than a moment's consideration, mainly when you run out? I did, last week at work. I had lined up some paper clips on my desk, …

I have been living in my house for nearly 22 years. This house is one of the first ones built in our complex of 85 townhomes. Only in the last couple of years have I noticed that the trees planted in front are palm trees. What? Palm trees in a northern-hemisphere place? Weird. They seem …
Terri's Wordless Wednesday topic of High #Flight inspired me to go back 12 years, to General Aviation Day at our local Paine Field in 2010.

It's not about "public health" anymore, it's about Control of The Population. This story and graph appeared in the Mill Creek View, a free newspaper. The two definitely tell exactly opposite stories. Which would you believe? The story tells you that the local public health "authorities" recommend that the always-obedient people resume mask wearing indoors …
Cee's Black and White Challenge this week is Flowers. Just recently I took one of the photos of my Valentine's bouquet roses and made it black-and-white (see the color in the header photo on my blog). I just love the detail that comes out in the black-and-white version. I went out in the back yard …

Cee's Fun Foto Challenge for this week is "Straight Lines", and have I got a treat for my readers! Let's get started with a contrast between man-made, and natural lines. As I've stated here before, Nature does not do straight lines of any kind. Natural systems do not line up in neat rows or columns, …
