Circles within circles, in the snow. A frozen birdbath. And 'round the bird feeder, the Pine Siskins chase each other around the outside perch, to eat at any of the circular openings. Maybe the one next door has more seed? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/rounded/

Cleverly concealed beauty – on the Golf Course
Hiding in plain sight. Golf courses are often in cities or suburbs, and may be behind a gate, for Members Only. I don't play golf, but in the past few years I have been fortunate enough to be able to tag along with the golfers, and take pictures. A couple of years ago, my husband …

Photo Challenge A Significant Glow
This is the view from the deck of our vacation house in Bigfork, Montana, on September 7, the day after we got there from Washington. You can't see much, due to the smoke from the terrible wildfires, that closed Glacier National Park, and prevented our group from doing most outdoor activities. And on September 10, …
Photo Challenge____People For Scale
The Grand Canyon dwarfs the people in this picture. Those cliffs are very high, and you wouldn't want to fall into the canyon. But if you see the Grand Canyon from an airplane, it looks pretty small. And those people would totally disappear. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/scale-2/
Photo Challenge…Pedestrian
Most people drive or cycle through cities these days. From the window of a car, or the seat of a bicycle, you can miss the details that only a pedestrian, walking along at a slow pace, can see. On our walk through Uptown Port Townsend, I caught these details that might have been overlooked from …
Seen through a window…at 60 miles per hour!
I have gotten pretty good at taking photos from the passenger-side windows of our car. On our way to Montana and back, I shot these photos from the moving vehicle-I really wanted my friends to see what the air quality was, as a result of the wildfires in Montana and Eastern Washington. This was just …

The Road Trip From Hell
At least, that's how I thought of it at the time, and for a long time thereafter. The year was 1971. I had just graduated from Washington State University with a degree in Psychology. I had applied to graduate school, and had been accepted at the University of Minnesota. So, how was I supposed to …
A New Photo Challenge: Layered
Hubby and I spent the week after Labor Day in Bigfork, Montana, at a Ricochet meet up that had been planned for over a year. There was no way we could have predicted that most of Washington, Idaho, and Montana would be shrouded in smoke from multiple wildfires in Eastern Washington and Montana. When we …
Photo Challenge…….Waiting
Kikyo is looking up through the clerestory window high up in the east wall of our family room. She sat like that for 15 minutes without moving a muscle, waiting for a bird to appear in the vine maple tree just outside the window. One never did. Waiting in vain. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/waiting-2017/
A Weekend at Jazz Port Townsend
Back in March, Hubby and I attended the After Midnight Gala auction for the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, a wonderful jazz Big Band. At that auction, we bought a weekend package that included two nights of lodging, and tickets to Friday and Saturday concerts, the weekend of July 31. Port Townsend is across Puget Sound …
