For most of my adult life, I have been a lover of classical music, and especially chamber music. I got my first taste of playing chamber music in the sixth grade in school, as my string quartet played for other classes of students. I remember being awfully proud of being able to play beautiful music …
I always find a snow-covered landscape peaceful. This photo I took in front of our house in January of 2012 epitomizes "peaceful" for me. Also, it's surprising how little change happened between color and black-and-white in this particular picture. There's very little more peaceful than a sleeping kitty. Finally, the Colorado sky at sunset. Here's …
My head is already spinning at this week's Fun Foto Challenge topic. Like this: Rides after dark and at twilight on the Santa Monica Pier. And this: Ferris wheel at the Washington State Fair. All the other rides go around in circles, too, don't they? Barrels of whisky at the Jack Daniels Distillery in Tennessee. …

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 …

A Japanese Steakhouse, called Sapporo. We had an excellent dinner. This guy greeted customers outside. That's my six-foot-tall husband for scale. The sumo wrestler is …

I admit to being way behind on my photo challenges, but it's only because Hubby and I have been on a two-week road trip, from which we have just returned. I took so many pictures on that trip that I can do all my challenges from just the photos I took! Now, being born in …

We should all now be aware of the fact that the Disney corporation, which used to produce excellent entertainment for children, has decided that its new audience and masters will be the Homosexual and "Transgender" groups. Disney managers have been heard to brag about their new homosexual agenda, and their upfront attempts to indoctrinate children …
First, a cute cartoon I was sent. Remember, dogs have owners, cats have staff. Next, a video I shot of the resident Owner, better known as Kikyo. I was about to get on my rowing machine for my daily workout, and she let me know she was bored with watching me. Cheers!
Mine (the Baby Boomers) is the first generation of Americans to grow up with Disney. We went to the theater to watch Fantasia, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and all the other iconic Disney animated movies. We sat eagerly in front of our TVs and watched the Mickey Mouse Club. We begged our …
