Well, this one should be pretty easy, as I spend lots of time snuggling with my pet kitty, Kikyo, and more time photographing her. In 2020, I even did a whole post entitled "Ten Years of Kikyo". She is named after a Japanese Anime character from the series InuYasha. It's about a present-day Japanese teenager, …
I live in Western Washington, basically surrounded by water on every side. Silver Lake is our local watery spot. I really wish there were a walking path all the way around, but much of the lake shore is in private hands, so the path only goes around the east and north sides of the lake. …

I caught our kitty, Kikyo, on her high cat tree while I was reading on the couch. Thank goodness for the iPhone 13 Pro camera, always at the ready! And for your cat laugh: Kikyo is a "rescue" kitty, and if you are in need of an overlord for your house (dogs have owners, cats …
Recently, Rumble.com, where I have a presence to post my videos, changed the way they display creator videos. In the past, they would show the number of "views", and the number of "rumbles", or "likes". Now, they not only show you those two measures, they show "dislikes", as in "thumbs down". Aside from my "RushBabe's …

This is the beautiful bouquet of flowers my husband had for me when I got home from work yesterday. He said he chose something that would look nice on my desk, and it really does! Aren't they gorgeous? Here's a link to Cee's Original Post.
Since most of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am quite proud of how well it takes photos in low-light conditions. However, even my old iPhone XR took excellent low-light pictures. Last year, on July 4, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks (that had been canceled …

I'm very fond of purple, and have clothing and jewelry I love that are purple. But I didn't think I'd have any purple living things in my photos. But I was wrong! Growing right in my own backyard, I have this little hydrangea. It's a small bush right now, but I expect it to grow …

This afternoon, I went to a local park, where I had not visited in many years. The lake is mostly surrounded by private homes, but there's a small park, with a couple of docks, around the south end of the lake. None of the deciduous trees had leaves yet, and I think that many of …
My backyard changes rather dramatically with the seasons. For the past three or four years, we have had snow every winter. I have to say, I really love what the snow does with the various features in the yard. The heap in the front is our birdbath, with an ornamental grass plant, and a concrete …
Let's see, am I a Bird Feeder? The photos and video below should give the answer. Pine Siskin. Downy Woodpecker. Blurry since I took the picture through a glass door. Red-breasted Nuthatch. Various birds at the seed and suet feeders, in the snow. Red-shafted Flicker. Top: Townsend's Warbler. This is one of my very favorite …
