Sorry this is a week late, but I guess better late than never. As for the photos that are my favorites, I have exactly three which I think are my most memorable. Both were taken within a few feet of my front door. The first one is a picture I always come back to. It …

After a busy, stressful week at work (made more stressful than ever since my boss left the company this week), it is an absolute necessity to find something to recharge your internal soul-battery. When I am at home, my recharge area is my bedroom. I am making a dent in our mattress from sitting on …

How do you capture time? How do you even describe time? That's a brain-breaker indeed. One of my favorite things to photograph is the wake of a boat or a ship. The boat cleaves through the water, and always leaves behind evidence of its passing. If the boat is turning, it shows you where the …
It is so much fun, deciding which color photos to edit and make black-and-white. I have a black cat, so I decided to start with a picture of her. It's not easy to photograph a black cat, since all their features tend to disappear. What do you think? That's not a defect-on the left side …

I hope "better late than never" still applies, because I will be catching up on some previous weeks' challenges. I admit I have been neglecting my blog lately, since when I get home from a long day at work and commute, the last thing I want to do is sit at a desk. My first …

This is the view from the Jericho Tennis Club where Hubby is playing in a squash tournament this weekend. Smoky view, Vancouver BC And this is the view near Bellingham, Washington. Wildfires cause this. Ugh.
I'm sure everyone has heard about the wildfires on Maui, which totally destroyed the old town of Lahaina, and killed many people (the death toll keeps rising). But I'm betting that not so many have heard what really happened. The mainstream media, which I am coming to believe is a greater withholder of news that …
Sometimes, you have to think "outside the box" to re-imagine the "box". Especially when the theme is "framing". So I remembered a sight from this year's Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration. Having run out of counter space to display all their accordions for sale, the owner of Tempo Trend Music from Victoria, BC enlisted a perfect …

So, let's have some serious Feline Fun. First off, some cute cat cartoons. It's really easy to make all sorts of jokes about cat behavior, and what they would say if they could talk. What cat owner hasn't encountered this sort of situation? Remember the saying? "Dogs have owners, cats have staff". And they are …
Overlooked? I'll show you overlooked! You might not believe this, but it is true. I have lived in my neighborhood for 23 years, and it was only this year that I finally noticed a dilapidated building across the busy street which borders the back of our complex. It is behind some trees, and not painted, …
