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, …
Sound Transit is the Western Washington “light rail” project, for which people in a large area of the Puget Sound (much of it out of reach of the choo-choo train for decades) pay a property tax, a sales tax, and a car-registration tax every year. The first leg of the train ran from downtown Seattle …
I love photographing shadows. Sometimes they are more photogenic than the subject! Just now, in fact, I happened to look over the railing on the second floor of our house, and this is what I saw. Just west of our houses there is a green-space with lots of big cedar trees. The shadow in this …

As usual, my favorite example of a natural Teal coloring is Diablo Lake in the North Cascades. There is a beautiful overlook mini-park just east of the town of Newhalem, and Hubby and I go there a couple of times every year. The unusual color of the water is caused by glacial runoff, and the …

I had a doctor appointment this afternoon, and my doctor works out of a cute remodeled older house, which just happens to be painted yellow. Planted in front are two huge bushes of yellow rhododendrons, which just happen to be Washington's State Flower. They compliment the house nicely, don't you think? Here's the Link to …
On our recent road voyage to Colorado and back, edges and ledges were everywhere. While waiting for Hubby to bring the car around to load at one of the hotels we stayed at, I happened to glance at the pillar to my right. Now, this pillar is covered on all sides by what is probably …
Think about it. What obvious characteristic do both electric cars and a "cashless" society (payments only allowed in digital format) possess? Here's another question.
