Yes, you heard that right. Vegetables can actually be beautiful, regardless of how they might taste. Yesterday, Hubby and I went to our favorite Asian market, Uwajimaya. They have a remarkable assortment of Asian foods, fruits, vegetables, meats, and other prepared foods. I have always marveled at the arrays of items in their produce department. …
A couple of days ago was the five-year anniversary of the death of my hero, Rush Limbaugh. I can't believe it's been that long already. I remember where I was when I learned that he had succumbed to his lung cancer, and I had tears running down my face. There will never be another to …

So, in honor of the Year of the Horse (I have been horse-crazy since childhood), here are some horses that caught my eye and my fancy. My ultimate favorite horse breed is Friesian.

We have had a series of sunny days here in Western Washington, so yesterday I went on a photo-hunting expedition down to the new Waterfront Place development on Marine Drive (aptly named, don't you think?). The channel divides the long Jetty Island from the new park, which has a walking/running trail (there were lots of …
I have always been fond of black and white photos, since they can imply age as well as simplicity. There are a number of photos in my library that look like black-and-white, even when they are in color! This is the street where I live. I think this rose actually looks better in black-and-white than …
