My Favorite Twitter/X Cats (#CatsofTwitter)-Updated!

Back in the Dark Ages, I used to laugh at people who spent lots of time watching cat videos. Hell, there's even a bunch of memes making fun of people who waste hours a day watching cat videos. That was, until I joined Twitter in November of 2022. Now, I totally understand people who like …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #292: People Here, There, and Almost Everywhere

My photography is mostly landscapes and scenes without people, for some unknown reason. But I do like to do some people-watching.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #272: Billboards and Signs

I just love watching out for funny or original signs, and they seem to be just about everywhere.  In the 1980s, there was a popular TV series called Twin Peaks, that was filmed in the local town of North Bend, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.  The town takes full advantage of that little …

One of the great benefits of having a cell phone with a great camera, is that you always have it with you to capture those scenes that just show up without warning.  Yesterday, as we were walking back to our car after the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra concert, we took a stroll through the Puget …
