Cee Neuner runs a bunch of fun photo challenges. First, she runs her "Flower of the Day" (FOTD) challenge...daily! Then, weekly she has her CMMC (Cee's Midweek Madness Challenge). So, this week's CMMC challenge topic is "Rainbow Colors/more than four colors in your photo". [links are to today's challenges] Well, it just so happens that …
And Cee didn't even ask me what this week's subject should be! My readers and followers will know that one of my favorite activities is taking video and still photos of all the variety of birds that visit my backyard suet and seed feeders. In all seasons, and through all kinds of weather, my trusty …
I like to keep my eyes open, in case I see something unusual or interesting to photograph. Of course, this is much easier, now that I have a pretty good camera ready, wherever I go (thanks iPhone!). The day I went down to Martha Lake Park, I was looking over the dock railing, back at …

Woof!! That's the bark. Nah, not really! How about these? They are two different Douglas Fir trees. The one on the left was cut down, and I took the picture to show how thick its bark is. The one on the right is very much alive, growing near Deception Pass on Whidbey Island. Here's …

She is named after a Japanese Anime character from the series InuYasha. It's about a present-day Japanese teenager, …

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 …
