Then why hasn't the government outlawed carbonated beverages? Big drinks companies like Coca Cola and Pepsico use large quantities of CO2 daily in making your Diet Coke. And when you open a can of Coke or Pepsi, some of the CO2 escapes. Why haven't they forbidden SodaStream to sell its machines in the US? Their …
This week's challenge allows us amateur photographers without all that fancy indoor lighting setup to shine. Literally! Living in a place surrounded by bodies of water lends itself to taking pictures of sunlight glinting off the water. I have always liked the sparkles generated by the Sun on moving water. It almost makes the water …

Aaahhhhh... Soft. Brings to mind something my hero used to call himself...just a lovable little fuzzball. Well, it just so happens that I am owned by a lovable little Fuzzball. Her name is Kikyo, and her fur is the softest. When she is in the same room, I just can't help but pick her up …

Still more of our avian friends, visiting our yard for the excellent seeds and suet. This is our Song-sparrow. See how puffed-up he is, against the cold. He likes to hog the seed feeder-sometimes he will just sit there for long minutes. This is the female of our pair of Varied Thrushes. Her chest-stripe is …
We have a few squirrels who frequent our yard, using the high fence as their highway to get around all the yards. One of them showed up this afternoon, and gave us all sorts of fun antics to laugh at. Here he is on the fence, obviously trying to decide what kind of mischief to …
I can't help it. When we are snowed-in, I just have to get out the camera and phone and take pictures. Yes, I'm betting that you're all getting tired of seeing pictures of my snowy backyard, but there's more snow today, and it's still snowing. So, here are a bunch more pictures from this morning, …
Since I started keeping my big camera on the kitchen table, I have been able to get some great pictures of my everyday bird visitors to our suet feeders. I know, I already have dozens of pictures of these birds, but they never cease to enthrall me, with their antics around and on the feeders. …

It helps to have a great camera at the ready, when watching out the back sliding glass door. Our yard was a very busy place today, with many little creatures visiting. We actually had two squirrels at opposite sides of the yard. He sat nice and still so I could take his picture. At the …
I guess I'd have to say I've always been a lazy photographer. When I was married to my first husband, who was an excellent photographer, besides being an engineer; I had an SLR film camera (this was back in the olden days before digital photography), but I had trouble mastering all its ins and outs, …
