I have always liked to take photos of simple scenes, since I do most of my photography outdoors. On our way out to dinner this evening, I looked up and found the most beautiful sky, covered with the puffy white clouds you often see in stock photos. Right above our heads! And the tree in …

As we usually do, Hubby and I headed over to the Bellevue Downtown Park for the Independence Day fireworks show. The park was wall-to-wall people, blankets, and tents. And that was only in one direction! People, dogs, kids, and vendors made themselves comfortable with their picnics and drinks, waiting for the big show to start …

There are some places that just lend themselves to a spiritual state of mind. I am always in awe of the power of Nature, especially features that demonstrate raw power.

Yes, I have become a frequent Twit, spending way too much time on the site. There is actually a fair bit of breaking news to be found on Twitter, and a lot of great humor. Anyone who lived through the 1970s will remember the TV show, All in the Family, with curmudgeon Archie Bunker in …
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 …
