I am SO sad that the Photo Challenge by the editors at WordPress is ending. It gave me something to look forward to each week, and a reason to mine my photos for just the right picture. And it's so difficult to find the all-time favorite. But, since it has to be done, I did …

A couple of miles south of my house, next to a Les Schwab Tire Center, is a small wetland, populated by mostly dead trees. I have always wondered what that piece of property started out as, and how it got to be the way it is now. Last week, I took my camera and got …

I practically live surrounded by water. Last week I shared a picture of the lake just south of my house. Puget Sound is just a few miles to the west, and Lake Washington is to the East and South. Back in 2016, we went on a cruise to Alaska, and I posted numerous photos of …
I was born and raised, and still live, in the Puget Sound area of Washington State, 20 miles north of the People's Republic (?) of Seattle. These photos were all taken within a 60-mile radius of home. Silver Lake, about two miles south of my house in Everett. I don't think there's any more beautiful …

I usually have an aisle seat on an airplane, but this time I had the window seat, and I saw some beautiful scenery below. We picked up the rental SUV, and drove south to the city of Colorado Springs, where we …

The evening of the first day of our cruise to Alaska aboard the Crystal Serenity was beautiful, and clear. The ship left Vancouver BC just as the sun was setting. We stood at the rail of the Promenade Deck and watched for long minutes, as the sun set over the channel. We knew when we …
About 35 miles north of our town of Everett, Washington, may be found the Skagit River Valley. The Skagit Valley has some of the most fertile soil in the United States, and its farmers supply animal feed, corn, potatoes, vegetables, and flower bulbs locally and around the world. The entire month of April is the …
So here I am, at my desk, doing our TAXES, for heaven's sake! Yeah, it's that time of year. But I'd really rather be here: On the balcony of our stateroom, on the cruise ship, to Hawaii. With my nose in a good book, and a nice glass of wine. Just relaxing and watching and …
