My submission for Cee's Daily Flower Challenge is a beautiful dogwood tree I found last night, when Hubby and I were waiting to get into one of our favorite restaurants. This big dogwood tree was at the edge of the parking lot. The flowers are quite large. Here's the Link to Cee's May 18 post.
Today's theme is aroma, and pictures that lead you to remember the #aroma of something. So, I will start with an aroma that is one of my very favorites: the salt tang of the sea. Since salt water is never more than a few miles away from our home in Everett, Washington, we are …

Cee's Black and White Challenge this week is Flowers. Just recently I took one of the photos of my Valentine's bouquet roses and made it black-and-white (see the color in the header photo on my blog).

I had a doctor appointment this afternoon, and my doctor works out of a cute remodeled older house, which just happens to be painted yellow. Planted in front are two huge bushes of yellow rhododendrons, which just happen to be Washington's State Flower. They compliment the house nicely, don't you think? Here's the Link to …
On our recent road voyage to Colorado and back, edges and ledges were everywhere. While waiting for Hubby to bring the car around to load at one of the hotels we stayed at, I happened to glance at the pillar to my right. Now, this pillar is covered on all sides by what is probably …
I admit to being way behind on my photo challenges, but it's only because Hubby and I have been on a two-week road trip, from which we have just returned. I took so many pictures on that trip that I can do all my challenges from just the photos I took! Now, being born in …
