This week, Tina has sent us on a guided treasure hunt, with a list of subjects to capture with our cameras. I think I can find them all. Here we go! First on the list is A Pet. My readers will all know that I have a profusion of photos of our pet (owner), Kikyo …

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the local Audi dealer, ostensibly to look at a car I might be interested in buying. It turned out that the dealer had exactly the model and color that I wanted. So, we took a test drive around the neighborhood, and I decided to buy it. Since our Dictator has …

Here are a couple more of the photos I took of the youngsters and their beautiful horses at the State Fair. This young lady is finished with her competition, and leads her horse back to the barn. She will remove its saddle, rub it down well, and feed it (hopefully it will get some treats …
I just had to share this short video with my blog followers. I have been horse-crazy since childhood, and wherever I am, if there are horses I watch them. We got an eyeful at the Washington State Fair last weekend. You should love watching these young ladies preparing for their competition. They all look well-prepared, …
On Friday, September 9, Hubby and I again went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (in Pierce County). This year's fair was much freer than last year's, when masks were required even outdoors! I did not wear a mask last year, in defiance of the Health Nazis, and even though they were not required …
This paddle-board was spotted in late July on Beaver Lake near Bellevue, Washington. It's the first time I had ever seen three on one board. Priceless, don't you agree?

So we need some new cat memes, and photos. First, here's Kikyo taking over the unmade bed. Remember this one? And some new ones. The above is especially relevant around here right at the moment. From last June, when it was over 100 here. Help! Kitten Invasion!! Happy International Cat Day! Pet your kitties, and …
On July 28, I packed a picnic dinner, and went down to Silver Lake Park to watch the kids and the ducks and geese swim. It was a beautiful, warm evening. The kids were having lots of fun diving off the dock and yelling. There were people out on their paddle-boards too. And the ducks …
Hubby first introduced me to Japanese Anime before we were married, and now I'm hooked too. We watched the entire series of Inu Yasha, where the modern girl Kagome Higurashi time-travels through her grandfather's sacred well, and ends up in the medieval period. She has all sorts of adventures with her dog-half-demon friend Inu Yasha, …
