My friend likes to sit on my lap, whenever I'm sitting down. She leaps very quietly onto the chair or bed I happen to be using, and purrs loudly to get my attention. My lap is always warm when Kikyo the Aristo-Cat is on my lap. She also likes to snuggle up to her glass …

Weekly Photo Challenge…Evanescent
What could be more evanescent than cut flowers? Once cut, they only last for a few days, but those few days immeasurably improve the lives of those who see them. My best girlfriend gave me pretty flowers for my birthday last month, and we put them in a vase on the kitchen table. Remarkably, they …
Danger! Photo Challenge at the Grand Canyon
When I saw these young people at the Grand Canyon, I said a little prayer that no one would trip. They are brave! https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/danger/
Photo Challenge…Earth
I admit it. I'm a Pacific Northwest Chauvinist. I believe that I live in one of the most beautiful places in the USA. We are never more than 2 hours from the ocean, or the mountains, here in Western Washington. Here are some of my favorite, beautiful, places in my corner of the Earth. …
New Header Photo for Spring
Daffodil field in the Skagit Valley, around Mount Vernon, Washington. Note the gray skies-it was raining, and we found many flooded fields. The Tulip Festival runs through April, and if Sunday was any indication, the tulips will be late this year. The Skagit Valley has some of the most fertile soil in our state, and …
Easy Being Green…Gardens I’ve Seen
I hate green. Green is my least favorite color, at least in clothing and accessories and household goods. I don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, or any other day, for that matter. And I'm the opposite of an "environmental wacko", since I don't believe that humans are a blot on the landscape, or destroying …
Weekly Photo Challenge-Atop
Mount Rose is the highest point in the Washoe Range in Nevada, and the highest year-round pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains. On the highway at the summit of Mount Rose, here are the trees and rocks at the very tippy-top. On the way down the other side, when you feel like you're really on …
Weekly Photo Challenge..The Road Taken…A lid on the World
So one afternoon, I'm in my car on the way to a doctor appointment. I'm driving down the freeway, and when I look up and around, the sky looks like there's a "lid" on the world, and it's been raised a bit. And, right in the strip of blue sky between the lid of clouds, …

Weekly Photo Challenge: Shadow
At the Diablo Lake Overlook, along Washington State Highway 20 (North Cascades Highway), Mountain Shadows. It is late afternoon. But when you zoom out a little... Shadows disappear. And you see the blue-green glacial waters of Diablo Lake, behind Diablo Dam, on the Skagit River. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/shadow-2017/
Winter Wednesday
Last time I checked, the outside temperature in my town was 33. We had snow over the weekend, and there is still some on the ground in my neighborhood. Here are some winter shots from years past. Brrrrrr... Also from 2012. The round thing in front is our bird bath. The parking lot …
