When I am working on my computer, Kikyo keeps watch to protect me from intruders. I feel safer now.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #184: What travel has taught me
What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always. And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country. Everywhere we have traveled has shown us that God has bestowed upon us a spectacular planet, with an infinite variety of landscapes and features. For the past two …

Sunday Stills: The Power of the #Elements
I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
The mountain’s out!
When you live in the Seattle area, that usually means that it's clear enough to see Mount Rainier. But this time, it's another mountain. Yesterday, I went to downtown Everett to get my car washed. I have a dash mount for my phone, and as I drove north on Evergreen Way, I noticed that Mount …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #183: Memorable events
I don't know of a more memorable event in my long life than the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, that we saw from the deck of the cruise ship Crystal Symphony in the summer of 2018. The volcano had been erupting for a few weeks before we got there in mid-July, and we …

Sunday Stills Challenge: It’s a Wild(life) world
Yep, right here in my back yard in the middle of suburbia, we have a sort of wildlife sanctuary, and neighborhood birds and animals visit every day. Now, we don't get much that's really exotic, though neighbors have seen a coyote, raccoons, and even a black bear. Our furry and feathered friends seem to like …

Cee’s Bloganuary: My favorite photos I’ve ever taken
I had to give this one some serious thought, but in the end it had to be this one. Think of a photograph as a "captured moment" in time, one that will never occur again. I think that this photo is the most unusual and fortuitous of any picture I have taken, before or since. …

Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #White
White isn't a color, it's the sum of all colors. These days, white gets the ultimate bad rap, due to the fact of the Black Lives Matter Marxists denigrating all white people, and demanding that they be crushed. But if white is the sum of all colors, shouldn't white be seen as the best? The …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #182: Interesting Objects
This week, I'll be starting at home, to capture some interesting objects around me. The first one is an empty bottle. Now, the bottle itself is unremarkable, a simple screw-top container. It's the labels on the bottle, which describe the contents, that make it interesting. A few years ago, a coworker of my husband came …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #180: Favorite photos of 2021
Like all of us, I thought 2021 was a very unusual, uncomfortable year. It would have been my first year of full retirement, and a fixed income. But that was derailed in July when I got a temp job that was supposed to last only one month, but stretched until the end of the year! …
