Sunday Stills: Dilapidated, desolate places and things
Maybe it's only me, but I seem to see a lot of news stories about bad things happening to people in cities recently. Like the street crime in Chicago and New York City; homeless drug addicts attacking walkers on Venice Beach in California; and AntiFa attacking drivers stopped at traffic lights in Portland, Oregon. Aside …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #219: A Treasure Hunt
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 …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #218: Over the Hill
At age 73, I still don't think of myself as "over the hill". However, I have taken some hills in my long life. Here in Western Washington, we are hemmed in by the Cascade Mountains to the East, and we cross them often. On the way to Stevens Pass, the road winds by Mount Index. …

Photos of the Day: Horse-Crazy
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 …
Sunday Stills: Garden Closeups
I don't have much of a garden, since I'm not much into yard work. But I do have a couple of plants that add some color to the front and back yards. In 2000, when I bought my house, my real estate agent bought me an azalea plant, which I added to the front yard. …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #217: Opposites
For some reason, I'm feeling very oppositional today. And I caught all these opposites on our shopping trip this afternoon! My readers will know that I am opposed to the government's insistence that we all drive electric cars, for reasons discussed in many previous posts here. I happen to live in a far-left-environmental-wacko area of …

#Wordless Wednesday: Smokey and the ??
Since our local smoke is gone, the following photos are from our trip to Montana and back in September of 2017. Glacier Park was closed, and fires were burning within a few miles of our vacation cabin. Lake Coeur D'Alene from I-90. Spokane Valley from I-90 View across the street from our cabin in Bigfork, …
Photo of the Day: Pops of Color
I always keep my eye out for colorful flowers. This planter was along a walkway at the Washington State Fair.
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #216: Urban Environments
Thinking back on the past three years, it occurs to me that we have pretty much stayed out of big cities, both at home and on vacations. In the last three years of Covid madness, I have only been to Seattle once, for a private concert at the new Center for Chamber Music, which Hubby …
