Terri’s Christmas Song Lyric Photo Challenge

This one is a real challenge!  In spite of being Jewish, I love Christmas songs, and they tend to become earworms quite easily for me, and not just at Christmas time.  I just have to choose one. One of my very favorites is an old German song, Still, Still, Still.  I think this photo that …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #177: Celebrating

In this year of government oppression of the people of our country, sometimes it's hard to find anything to celebrate.  I remember March of 2020, when the government locked down society (except for what it deemed "essential" activities).  The weekend after the lockdown started, I decided to celebrate my independence, and refusal to accept government …

Lies of the Left, welcoming tyranny, in one sign

The Left, and its Environmentalist Wacko wing, dominate all discourse here in Western Washington.  The Environmental Wackos' religion believes that humanity is a blot on the Holy Planet, and humanity has the power to change the climate, degrade the environment, and otherwise foul our nest.  That religion assumes that, with the proper regulation of human …

CFFC (Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge): All one color

Cee wanted "all one color", so I looked in my archives and came up with these. A whole wall of autumn-red ivy, seen at a big local shopping mall. Shades of silver/gray.  The water reflects the gray skies, and the ship is its own shade of dark gray. The deep blue Pacific Ocean off Hawaii. …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #176: One photo, one story

My first entry for this week's challenge tells a sad story, one that is still being written all over the world. Each one of those empty, surplus chairs from June of 2020 was from the desk of a person, an employee who contributed to the success of an aerospace manufacturer.  Every empty chair represents an …

Cee’s November Alphabet Challenge: Double S’s in the Word

If I am not mistaken, there are two S's in Tennessee.  We flew there in April of this year to attend a Hillsdale College seminar, and a Ricochet meetup with our internet friends we hadn't met yet.  Below are some pictures I took of places we went in Tennessee. This is the landscape of the …

CFFC-Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, Reflections and Shadows

So, what motivated my friend Cee to choose reflections and shadows for this week's fun challenge?  I see, she fell right into my hands...  Reflections and shadows are some of my very favorite photographic subjects! Bodies of water are excellent for reflections, aren't they?  Especially if the water is flat, mirror-like.  The waters of Silver …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #175: Follow your Bliss

My header photo this week seems perfect for the topic, doesn't it?  I took it with my phone, from my chair at the nail spa where I get my monthly pedicures.  Once every month, I get to have someone else do my tootsies, and I get to just relax and feel pampered.  It's also a …

A windy day on Puget Sound

Last weekend, the Pacific Northwest had some very high winds, which caused power outages and fallen trees across roadways all around Western Washington.  I got in my car and headed down to the ferry dock in Edmonds, to see if I could capture the wind (well, not the wind, but maybe some effects!).  Here's some …

A New Photo Challenge! Terri’s Sunday Stills, Fallen Leaves

I just found out, from my friend Cee Neuner, about Terri's Sunday Stills Challenge.  Whee!  Terri lives in Eastern Washington, and I live in Western Washington, so we get some of the same weather, and wildlife, and plants.  Below is a fun photo that I took yesterday in my back yard.  It looks like this …
