CFFC: Straight Lines
Cee's Fun Foto Challenge for this week is "Straight Lines", and have I got a treat for my readers! Let's get started with a contrast between man-made, and natural lines. As I've stated here before, Nature does not do straight lines of any kind. Natural systems do not line up in neat rows or columns, …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #198: Light and Shadow
I love photographing shadows. Sometimes they are more photogenic than the subject! Just now, in fact, I happened to look over the railing on the second floor of our house, and this is what I saw. Just west of our houses there is a green-space with lots of big cedar trees. The shadow in this …

Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #Teal or #Aqua
As usual, my favorite example of a natural Teal coloring is Diablo Lake in the North Cascades. There is a beautiful overlook mini-park just east of the town of Newhalem, and Hubby and I go there a couple of times every year. The unusual color of the water is caused by glacial runoff, and the …

Sunday Stills Challenge: Is #Quartz a girl’s best friend?
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 …

Road Trip Day 3, 3 states
We started out in Idaho, and visited a site my husband was interested in, not far from Twin Falls where we stayed. This particular site represents a sordid part of America’s history, when people of a particular national origin were confined in concentration camps, because of their ancestry. The place was Minidoka, a “relocation camp” …
The Beauty of Montana
Todays drive was from Billings to Missoula, west along I-90. It was a cloudy day all the way, with flashes of sunshine, and some rain showers. Please be advised that all the photos below were taken from the passenger seat of a car going 80mph most of the way. Leafless trees, near Billings One of …
