My readers will know that my husband plays accordion. Until recently, he played in an accordion band, but is no longer, since the band now only accepts Covid-vaccinated players. The gathering was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, so everyone was thrilled that it went forward in 2022. We went for the entire time, from Thursday …

I understand from Terri's Post this week, that June is Outdoors Month. The photos below were taken outdoors in places we have been. I am frustrated that my bad knee prevents me from doing much walking these days (re-injured my repaired ACL in left knee last week). In any case, I'm no athlete, and the …
Let it be hereby known to all present that I Hate Pink! I never wear pink, I don't buy pink furniture or accessories, and I don't like pink precious stones (red is my color).

Well, this one should be pretty easy, as I spend lots of time snuggling with my pet kitty, Kikyo, and more time photographing her. In 2020, I even did a whole post entitled "Ten Years of Kikyo". She is named after a Japanese Anime character from the series InuYasha. It's about a present-day Japanese teenager, …
I caught our kitty, Kikyo, on her high cat tree while I was reading on the couch. Thank goodness for the iPhone 13 Pro camera, always at the ready! And for your cat laugh: Kikyo is a "rescue" kitty, and if you are in need of an overlord for your house (dogs have owners, cats …
Since most of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am quite proud of how well it takes photos in low-light conditions. However, even my old iPhone XR took excellent low-light pictures. Last year, on July 4, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks (that had been canceled …
